Kevin Hart Jokes He Actually Felt Cooler Around Young ‘72 Hours’ Co-Stars

  • On Friday, July 24, 2026, Netflix released 72 Hours, a comedy starring Kevin Hart as an ad executive attempting to connect with Gen-Z during a bachelor party weekend in Miami.
  • Director Tim Story's film follows Hart's character Joe, who joins a Gen-Z bachelor party to salvage his marketing career, though the movie repeatedly describes him as a 40-year-old, shaving seven years off his actual age.
  • Saturday Night Live cast members Marcello Hernández, Ben Marshall, and Kam Patterson portray a group of friends, though the movie struggles to depict their close bond despite their intense 18-hour work days together.
  • Critics note the film relies on tired gags, including Hart's 'Tony Montana-style' persona and a slapstick brawl with real-life nemesis Katt Williams, while his character delivers sage life advice reviewers find self-indulgent.
  • Reviewers describe the movie as 'half-baked,' criticizing its 'wishy-washy' portrait of Gen-Z and suggesting Hart's performance feels less like comedy and more like a neverending sales pitch for his brand.
