In the movie, the comedy star makes a more serious turn for the heart-wrenching family drama based on a true story. Think Will Smith in “The Pursuit of Happyness” meets “Three Men and a Baby.”Variety

Paul Weitz, who mastered the tale of man meets child with the 2002 comedy “About a Boy,” first worked with Hart on “Little Fockers,” where the comedian had a bit part.
