People gripe about the title being misleading. Sometimes a story is just a story without you having to read more into it. This was a change of pace from the Kevin Hart that we normally see. However, Kevin has shown us his range a time or two before this, recently this year in FATHERHOOD and he did an incredible job in THE UPSIDE with Bryan Cranston. Though the title is true story did this tale in ANY WAY state that it was based on true events like many other actual stories that are. I think that the film is what Kevin's career needs, a slight departure from the slapstick and something more grounded. He is getting older and as fans many of us are growing with him. He is no longer the sidekick and c-Lister that falls in the mid to end credits area. He has done well to polish his craft and make his brand. I commend him for it. It may not be everyone's cup o' tea but hey... Not everyone likes Citizen Kane or The Titanic or the Godfather films either.
