    Touching, without frills or drama

    This is unexpectedly good! The story is very real, and has no frills and no drama. It just tells the joys and challenges of parenthood, in a way that connects to viewers deeply. I am touched by it.

    Kevin Hart? Really?!

    If you can't enjoy this, you must be a very sad person in life and not too funny on parties.

    There is nothing absolutely new here, but the film does everything right with the right tone (which was not easy) and a very surprisingly good performance by Kevin Hart.

    Cute movie

    This was a sweet and cute movie/story. It definitely brought a lot of ups and downs throughout. It really didn't capture my attention the entire time but it was good for what it is.

    I fell in love with this movie

    I'd like to start by saying I never write reviews, what can I say I'm a lazy guy however this movie really touched me in a way that I didn't see coming. Kevin Hart is a man of many talents making me laugh is one of them but absolutely tearing me up is one I never knew he would do.

    If you get the opportunity to watch this movie, watch it now!

    Simple but heartwarming

    The plot is predictable but it's done rather well (aside from some tonal issues), making you feel good on the inside by the end. The performances are quite good, particularly by Kevin Hart which was a nice surprise as it's something that feels different to what he normally does. Melody Hurd was quite good too. Overall, it's just a nice little heartwarming film to watch. Would recommend.
