Kevin Hart – 10 Best Movies

By Vlad Zakh · February 25, 2026

Ride Along and Central Intelligence show the buddy-comedy formula his blockbuster career is built on, high energy against a larger, calmer co-star, while Fatherhood is the outlier, a sincere dramatic turn as a widowed dad. The Wedding Ringer hires a professional best man, Borderlands is a voice role, and Real Husbands of Hollywood leaned fully into his own celebrity. Think Like a Man, Night School, Get Hard and Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle round out the list.
