Fatherhood
Fatherhood is a 2021 American comedy-drama film directed by Paul Weitz from a screenplay by Weitz and Dana Stevens based on the 2011 memoir Two Kisses for Maddy: A Memoir of Loss and Love by Matthew Logelin. The film stars Kevin Hart, Alfre Woodard, Frankie R. Faison, Lil Rel Howery, DeWanda Wise, Anthony Carrigan, Melody Hurd, and Paul Reiser, and follows a new father who struggles to raise his daughter after the sudden death of his wife. Originally scheduled to be released in theaters by Sony Pictures Releasing, Fatherhood was sold to Netflix during the COVID-19 pandemic and was digitally released on June 18, 2021. The film received mixed reviews from critics, with criticism for its formulaic approach but the emotional weight and Hart's against-type performance receiving praise.
You know? That's why I can't, uh… I can't have that time. Listen, Howard, I was thinking maybe I could just work from home and… and come in as you need me. You know? And when I come in, I'd have to bring my daughter with me. -You're taking care of her? -That's correct. All right. Good. [chuckles] Great. Okay.

Uh… Breasts. Some men have breasts. I'm gonna let that go 'cause you're grieving. Listen, I love babies. You know, I have three of them myself.

I'm, uh… I'm dealing with the creamy shit right now. Enjoy the creamy shit. It's a big jump. When you get to solid poops, it's not a picnic.

Oscar? -And see-- Yeah. No, no, no, no. Nah, no, no. Forget Oscar. -Did you ask him? -Um… Did you ask him, "Do you want Oscar to handle the clients?" -Yeah. I did. -Remember? Like we rehearsed? I said it, Oscar. It worked. -I told you it would. That's great news. -Yeah. Yeah. D-- [sighs]
