Overworked and strung out stay-at-home dad Kevin Hart takes the week off and ends up spending it with longtime friend Marky Mark celebrating his birthday. Kevin Hart plays the same person in every movie, I’m thoroughly convinced. This was a pretty B movie but a good laugh if you’re needing something to watch. Rating: 2/5

Imagine being popular and ready for prom but then being in a coma for 20 years.
