Kevin Hart Leads 105-Minute Netflix Comedy 72 Hours on a 72-Hour Miami Bachelor Trip

Summary

  • Netflix’s “72 Hours” sends Kevin Hart’s ad executive Joe to Miami with four younger men after he offers to fund their bachelor trip as market research on Gen Z.
  • The 105-minute comedy hinges on generational clash—Joe becomes the group’s awkward “unc” while the younger friends openly discuss feelings through nightly emotional check-ins.
  • Miami set pieces include party buses, yacht parties and accidentally stealing 30 kilos of cocaine from a cartel boss, pushing the film toward action-comedy excess.
  • IndieWire says the movie repeatedly overexplains its premise and lands closer to Netflix’s “Red Notice” than “The Hangover,” despite some laughs and a committed Hart performance.
  • “72 Hours” is now streaming on Netflix, framed as another glossy direct-to-streaming comedy more focused on demographic appeal than sharper character-driven humor.
