Kevin Hart plays Teddy, a high school dropout living a farcical life. He lies to everyone in order to put on an appearance of being something he's not. He has even kept up an ongoing lie to his girlfriend/fiancé. The ability to keep up the charade is severely challenged when he has to go to night school to get his GED.
I was reluctant to watch this because I suffer from Kevin Hart burnout. I've seen too much of his material and his act such that it has gotten old. The high pitch voice, the faux stupidity, and other Hart specific traits have gotten old. I was feeling that way at the beginning of this movie until it was saved by some excellent jokes and Christian Chicken.
Though it wasn't' advertised as such this was somewhat a rom-com. I have to deduct a point for that because every rom-com is the same to me: misunderstanding/dishonesty leads to break-up, some introspection/seeing the light, a sacrifice, then reunion. Rom-com aspects aside, Hart, and this movie, benefited from some good co-stars and some good writing. I actually laughed quite heartily at a few points in the movie. Funniest movie of 2018.
