Kevin Hart movies: 12 greatest films ranked worst to best
Turn on the TV, and there’s Kevin Hart. Everywhere. If it’s not some new miniseries he’s popping up in, it’s the commercials that appear at every break, whether it’s for a new credit card or a sports betting app. Think you can avoid him on streaming? There’s Kevin Hart stand-up specials everywhere for the adults, and, for the kids, Kevin Hart-voiced characters in numerous animated features (plus a stint on “The Masked Singer”). You might as well give in. It’s Kevin Hart’s world. Resistance is futile.
Hart’s presence is so ubiquitous that we sometimes forget that he’s also an actor, and a very good one at that. From wild action flicks like the “Jumanji” reboot series (2017 and 2019), to romantic dramas like “About Last Night” (2014) and “Top Five” (2014), to buddy comedies like “Central Intelligence” (2016) and “The Upside” (2017), Hart has shown a surprising range in his many roles on film. Certainly, he always brings the funny, but in a number of his best movies, he has layered in elements of drama to create rich, fully-developed characters.
The funnyman is also regularly on people’s dream lists to host the Oscars — and he came close in 2018 until some of his problematic past tweets resurfaced, causing him to drop out. In the years since, Hart has said he’s never going to host Hollywood’s biggest night.
In honor of his complete takeover of the entertainment industry, let’s raise a glass and celebrate by counting down and ranking the 12 best Kevin Hart movies, ranked. Scroll through our photo gallery above or click here for direct access.
