Get ready to laugh, because comedian Kevin Hart is teaming up with the boys from Saturday Night Live in a new comedy movie, 72 Hours, coming to Netflix this week.
Directed by Tim Story, who has previously collaborated with Hart on the Ride Along films, 72 Hours was written by Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, Kevin Burrows, and Matt Mider. The premise? Kevin Hart gets added to a group chat for a bachelor’s party by accident. Though he’s old enough to be their dad, he decides to tag along with these young bucks to sew a few more wild oats.
On Monday morning, Hart and his 72 Hours co-star Marcello Hernádez stopped by the TODAY show to promote the film. Hernádez, a fan-favorite player on SNL right now, and Hart had a playful argument on air—Hart chastised Hernádez for not taking the show seriously, while Hernádez ribbed Hart right back for wearing sunglasses to hide the evidence of his “long night.”
The debut of this new dynamic comedy duo on TODAY has viewers curious about their new film, so read on to learn everything there is to know about the Kevin Hart and Marcello Hernandez movie, 72 Hours.
What is the 72 Hours movie about?
72 Hours is a new comedy movie about a 40-year-old man named Joe (Kevin Hart), who accidentally gets added to a group chat of twenty-something guys planning a bachelor party weekend. To the bewilderment of the young guys, Joe decides to actually show up and join them on their trip. Unfortunately, it’s not as wholesome as the story about the kid who was accidentally invited over for Thanksgiving at Granma’s house.
Who is in the 72 Hours movie cast?
In addition to Hart as the lead, the supporting cast of bachelor bros includes current Saturday Night Live players Marcello Hernandez, Ben Marshall, and Kam Patterson; and Mason Gooding, who’s proved himself a stand-out comedic actor the recent Scream films.
Also joining the 72 Hours cast: Oscar nominated actor Teyana Taylor (One Battle After Another), Severance fan-favorite Zach Cherry, Better Call Saul star Michael Mando, and, perhaps most notably, comedian Mike Epps, who has had a public rivalry with Hart for years. It looks like these two have buried the hatchet!
