Kevin Hart Crashes a Gen Z Bachelor Party

In “72 Hours,” Hart plays a 40-year-old advertising executive whose career is in trouble. After being mistakenly added to a group chat, he joins a crew of twentysomethings heading to Miami for a three-day bachelor party.

The decision drops Hart’s character into a weekend of escalating chaos as he tries to prove that he can keep up with the younger group—and possibly rescue his career along the way.

The R-rated comedy runs approximately one hour and 45 minutes, according to Netflix’s official listing.
