FATHERHOOD (Theatrical Release France 2021)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.5|5.0 Starsìììì 

Fatherhood—one of those films that seems like it might be good but the prospective viewer is unsure—Well! Let’s set the record straight. This film blows away any assumptions that it won’t live up to its title and its trailer. WOW! This teen/adult watch works for anyone who wants to see a classic film about parenthood. ‘No shabbiness’ here for Kevin Hart fans. Superb acting with portrayal of story completely on par. The story? Well-written. It’s a add it to the home video library as a long-term keeper.
