I was already a Kevin Hart fan, but after watching his new Netflix documentary " Don't F___ This Up!" I've gained a greater respect for the star.
The doc doesn't focus so much on his stand up as it does his personal life and how he's overcome adversity.
Kevin opens up about growing up in the hood of Philly, his father being on drugs and his mother being a single parent giving him structure and discipline that he would use to guide his journey to stardom.
In the six part series, Kevin deals with it all.. From the cheating to the Oscar scandal. One thing about Hart is that he owns his mess ups! He doesn't attempt to lie his way out of it.. He simply says,"I did it! I messed up." He apologizes to the folks that he hurt, and then he moves on. He doesn't allow anyone to hold him hostage to his past.. For me, that's refreshing.
Then there's the "Plastic Cup Boyz," who are his loyal circle of friends, and accountability partners. All I can say is everybody needs a crew like the Plastic Cup Boyz! They hold Kevin accountable when he messes up, while holding him up.
"You can't buy loyalty!"- Kevin Hart
During the doc, he was in the middle of promoting his movie Night School with Tiffany Haddish (the first film under his Hart Productions umbrella), his stand up tour, which the Plastic Cup Boys are his opening acts, his deal with Nike, and Chase Bank. Exhausting right? Well, not for Hart. He goes non stop... and makes sure to credit his team with helping to make his dreams come true.
"You can't do it by yourself, you put people in a position to make you better for a reason. When you don't let them do their jobs by being the defiant one, you kinda going against yourself." - Kevin Hart
Then there is his interaction with his wife, his kids and his father. It's obvious when you see them all together that "home" is truly where his HEART is.
