Five Kevin Hart movies to stream right now on Netflix
Kevin Hart’s groundbreaking artistic partnership with Netflix has not only provided subscribers a front-row seat to his standout stand-up moments but also given them an exclusive pass to his cinematic showcases.
While, of course, comedy is undoubtedly Hart’s niche, his Netflix portfolio has its fair share of action and drama, all of which carry the potential to crack the platform’s weekly top ten movies charts, that too repeatedly.
The output is unsurprisingly a mixtape of maximalised entertainment chaos, which can easily convince almost anyone and everyone to go for another round of Hart-starrer guilt-free.
So, whether you’re already part of the club of Kevin Hart obsessives exploring his catalogue or are looking to join in to find the best examples of his comedic chops, here are five of his movies to stream right now on Netflix and comfortably scratch either itch.
Five Kevin Hart movies to binge on Netflix now:
Fatherhood (Paul Weitz, 2021)
Based on Matthew Logelin’s 2011 memoir, Two Kisses for Maddy: A Memoir of Loss, Fatherhood is probably the most heartwarming Kevin Hart starrer currently streaming on Netflix. The comedy drama follows Matt, a new father who becomes a single parent overnight when his wife Liz tragically dies from a pulmonary embolism right after giving birth to their daughter, Maddy. Wrestling with grief and doubt, he navigates diaper changes, sleepless nights, and well-meaning but overbearing in-laws.
At the same time, he must also balance his job at an ad agency while trying to be a constant presence for Maddy as his family members push him to relocate. Fatherhood is a touching tale of acceptance, adaptation, growth, and learning to handle the most unlikely situations with the best foot forward, highlighting the deep bond that develops between a devoted father and his growing daughter amidst some parenting bumps.
The Man from Toronto (Patrick Hughes, 2022)
While a Kevin Hart title is nothing without its funny bones, The Man from Toronto also brings equal parts of action on its coattails. The 2022 action-comedy tells the story of a bumbling fitness entrepreneur, Teddy Jackson, who, while taking his wife Lori on a birthday getaway, accidentally ends up in the wrong cabin rental after misreading a faint address due to a printer toner mishap, stumbling into an interrogation where criminals mistake him for a deadly hitman known as the titular ‘Man from Toronto’.
Although the FBI quickly sees through him, they recruit Teddy to keep up the act to catch a corrupt official, and when the actual Man from Toronto, named Randy, starts tracking him down, he decides to play along with the mix-up. The Man from Toronto follows Randy and Teddy as they join forces to confront rival killers, inadvertently forming a close bond while trying to stop a dangerous dictator plot from being fulfilled.
72 HOURS (Tim Story, 2026)
As the latest Kevin Hart offering on Netflix, Tim Story’s 72 HOURS has to make it to the watchlist. The laugh-out-loud comedy drama tells the story of a 40-year-old marketing ad executive whose perfectly curated professional world unravels when the prospect of a highly anticipated promotion is struck by claims that he’s out of touch with the youth. And in order to ensure the promotion, he must gain perspective before it’s too late.
Luckily, earlier that day, Joe found himself accidentally added to a text thread of a group of twenty-somethings planning a three-day bachelor trip in Miami. Although he originally planned to let the mishap slide, he soon realises this could be his ultimate opportunity to get in touch with Gen Z. 72 HOURS follows Joe and the gang on a three-day trip of pure chaos, which culminates in heavy drinking, secret recordings, a yacht invasion, and, of course, some personal upending.
Lift (F Gary Gray, 2024)
Next on the list is yet another action-comedy, Lift, starring Kevin Hart and directed by F Gary Gray. The heist thriller follows master thief Cyrus and his international crew, who catch the eyes of Interpol after pulling off an unbelievable art scam in Venice. Although agent Abby corners Cyrus, she doesn’t arrest him or his crew, instead coercing the gang into intercepting a half-billion-dollar gold shipment belonging to a dangerous billionaire terrorist.
The deal is lucrative, as in exchange for stopping the terrorist funds, Cyrus and his crew are ensured complete immunity from their checkered past. As they agree to carry out the deed, the team boards a commercial flight transporting the gold bars from London to Zürich. Lift revolves around Cyrus and his team’s master plan, which involves bypassing high-tech vault security while 40,000 feet in the air, diverting the aircraft, and throwing dirt in Interpol’s eyes.
Me Time (John Hamburg, 2022)
The last stop on the Kevin Hart marathon is Me Time, which follows Sonny Fisher, a dedicated stay-at-home dad who lives a strict domestic routine as a PTA president while his wife, Maya, is a busy architect. Reckoning that his everyday life might be getting stagnant, Maya urges him to stay behind and enjoy some quality time to himself, opting for that long-due self-care. As he gets his first taste of family-free time in years, when his wife takes the kids away, Sonny decides to reconnect with his childhood best friend Huck.
Honestly, the timing couldn’t have been better with Huck’s 44th birthday weekend just around the corner. But if you think Sonny and Huck are anything alike, what follows speaks for itself. Me Time centres on the dynamic duo’s reunion, which soon escalates into a wild chain of events, including debt, a mountain lion encounter, and an escapade to sabotage Maya’s client’s estate, and it doesn’t end well for either.
