Me Time

Me Time, the new comedy from Netflix that stars Kevin Hart and Mark Wahlberg, has been given an absolute battering by critics.

Over the years, writer/director John Hamberg has explored men from a unique perspective. Often with very funny results, he has posed questions about male ...

Of course, the film thinks that the second he’s alone, Sonny starts cruising porn, but eventually he starts sorting through his options and decides that it’s been too long since Huck has had a chance to corrupt him. Hart and Wahlberg are both basically straight men, and while Sonny’s hangups are pathetic, they don’t really lead to many laughs, even when Hart gets attacked by a mountain lion (didn’t we just watch a movie where a guy fights a lion?; that movie wasn’t very funny either). At home managing the household, Sonny is confident about what needs to get done and how to arrange his family’s lives so that order is maintained. And now with Me Time, he profiles Sonny (Kevin Hart), a stay-at-home dad who has insecurities about losing the fun person he used to be when he’s faced with spending time with his oldest friend Huck (Mark Wahlberg) during a blowout birthday excursion. With I Love You, Man, he examined male friendships from the perspective of a guy who didn’t have any and is forced to seek one out; in Why Him?, he looks at the uncomfortable process of a father letting go of his daughter as she falls in love with someone else. Sonny is a man addicted to his routines and schedules.

The raunchy new Kevin Hart/Mark Wahlberg buddy comedy film Me Time is out now on Netflix and the soundtrack features tons of great music.

- “Crazy” by Seal I don’t know about you, but I always take new films and television shows as an opportunity to find new music, and this irreverent comedy doesn’t disappoint. [Me Time](https://netflixlife.com/2022/08/26/me-time-cast-whos-in-the-kevin-hart-and-mark-wahlberg-netflix-movie/) is finally streaming on Netflix.

'Me Time' is another messy, lackluster Netflix original film. The Kevin Hart-led comedy premieres on the streaming service on Friday, August 26.

Mark Wahlberg, in particular, falls flat as Huck, who easily ranks as one of the most underwritten and thinly sketched characters that the Fighter and Ted star has ever played. The film’s opening flashback to one of Sonny and Huck’s previous adventures quickly — and quite messily — sets up the kind of zany adventures that the duo used to get into before the former decided to settle down with his family. The film has all the ingredients that it needs in order to be a successfully absurd farce in the same vein as many of the studio comedies that were released throughout the early and mid-2000s. Additionally, the film’s biggest plot beats are so loosely connected that it’s difficult to remember how Me Time even gets from one to the other throughout its story. What’s even worse is that Hamburg doesn’t even follow through on the promise of Huck’s outsized 44th birthday party. When he goes to use the bucket for the first time, he suddenly finds himself alone in a stand-off with a hungry mountain lion.

Film critic Peter Travers shares his review of "Me Time," starring Kevin Hart and Mark Wahlberg, out Friday.

Wahlberg makes a droll meal of that line and holds his own with Hart even when the jokes tip over the line from crass to smutty. Eager to cut loose while preaching family values, "Me Time" is a movie at war with itself. But hit-and-miss sight gags do not add up to the rowdy free-for-all that everyone clearly intended. When Sonny decides to reconnect with Huck Dembo (Wahlberg), the bachelor bestie he hasn't seen for years, the stage is set for an R-rated farce that quickly descends to being dim-witted and disposable. When Sonny realizes Maya intends to spend part of her own me-time with her sleazy eco-tycoon boss, Armando (Luis Gerardo Mendez), jealousy sparks him to overindulge. The children, Dashiell (Che Tafari) and Ava (Amentii Sledge), worry about mom's domestic skills.

Kevin Hart plays a put-upon dad who goes on a birthday adventure with his oldest friend, irresponsible bachelor Mark Wahlberg in Me Time.

[Regina Hall](https://time.com/5505434/regina-hall-black-monday/)) brings home the bacon. Written and directed by John Hamburg (Along Came Polly, I Love You, Man), this is essentially a comedy about male insecurities, as viable a theme as any.

The new Kevin Hart and Mark Wahlberg Netflix movie is receiving iffy reviews at best.

She spent many years working in local journalism across the country writing about art, news and sports. She explains that the unrealistic wealth and stylistic choices in the movie are distracting, and that if the movie had been "consistently fun or funny," these issues would not have been a problem. Giving it two stars, Charles Bramesco explains that while there were some elements that worked, like the set pieces, Kevin Hart’s performance and the tonal confusion are its downfalls. Murray wrote that the characters are never really given a chance to grow and change because of the underdeveloped plot, causing them to stay in their given archetypes. Overall, she found it frustrating that a movie with so much possibility flopped so hard. The buddy comedy follows Kevin Hart and Mark Wahlberg playing two friends on a wild adventure while Hart’s character is just supposed to be having a relaxing day to himself. Peter Travers explains that Kevin Hart has a few standout comedic moments that show off his top-notch improvisational skills that are genuinely hilarious, but it's not quite enough: [Netflix's](https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2553720/the-best-movies-on-netflix-right-now) latest film Me Time hit the streamer today.

Me Time is available on Netflix and it is a classic buddy comedy movie that features a cast of familiar faces, led by Kevin Hart and Mark Wahlberg.

Luis Gerardo Mendez as Armando Zavala - Armando is Maya's sleazeball of a boss, who Sonny may be jealous of for his good looks. Huck is in debt to a loan shark, which provides Me Time with some drama mixed with action adventure as both Sonny and Huck attempt to escape their weekend of alone time without breaking any bones. Famous for producing hit television shows like Entourage and [Boardwalk Empire](https://screenrant.com/tag/boardwalk-empire/), Wahlberg will appear in the upcoming Netflix thriller Our Man from Jersey alongside Halle Berry. Hart is well known as a stand-up comedian turned big-budgeted actor in films like Ride Along and The Man from Toronto. Here is a guide to Me Time's cast and characters, including where you know each actor from. After his wife takes the kids to visit family during spring break, Sonny Fisher reconnects with an old friend for what becomes a rowdy time.

"Me Time" opens with Huck (Mark Wahlberg) celebrating his 29th birthday by taking Sonny (Kevin Hart) for some wingsuit gliding. While hurtling to the ground ...

He sees that Huck is at the harbor, and he assumes that Stan is about to kill him. He learns that his micromanaging (and the false rumors about Crossing Guard Lenore) has caused him to try to be someone else and has distanced him from his son. He wants to combine Huck’s ability to throw great parties with his ability to entertain kids and make money from it. As a gesture of gratitude, Sonny says that he’s going to pay Stan the $47,000 so that Huck doesn’t have to be on the run constantly. But they find out that he has made a deal with Stan to work off his debt. And on that note, she leaves with the children and tells Sonny to vacate the house because she thinks they need some space in their relationship. Sonny even has a falling out with Huck after realizing that he has spent money on Seal. The positive side of this is that it strengthens Sonny and Huck’s relationship, and they shift Huck’s birthday party to Sonny’s house. Sonny says that he is the reason why they found out Huck’s location (he posted a photo on Instagram), so he is partially to blame for this sticky situation. So, they feel duty-bound to take it to the vet and ensure that it doesn’t die. If you don’t, well, it becomes clear when Huck explains later that he got fired from his ad agency and went on a bender with a client that led to his loans. This time he wants him to come away for his 44th birthday for yet another party of a lifetime.

This review of the Netflix film Me Time starring Kevin Hart does not contain spoilers or any significant plot points.

It’s far from a perfect comedy but it certainly won me over and I enjoyed spending time with Hart and Wahlberg in particular. Some of the supporting characters grated a touch and things seemed to tie together very neatly at the end for everyone. Wahlberg brings a lovely touch of humanity to his character and in particular, I enjoyed spending time with his Huck.

Todd Phillips, sensing the woke revolution would smite his funny bone, left the genre for supervillain fare like “Joker.” “Knocked Up” auteur Judd Apatow, ...

A comedy so devoid of purpose that you’ll think a rank amateur stood behind the camera. Instead, it’s a director who needs a refresher course on his own comedy highlights. A loan shark, played by a miscast Jimmy O. Yang, threatens Huck with a hard dose of reality. Our mismatched buddies aren’t the same race, but it never comes up. Kevin Hart stars as Sonny, a house husband of the first order. The film delivers few laughs in the early going, but one senses a foundation being built. “Me Time” starts with some promise. Hart is in his element, playing an Everyman dropped into extreme circumstances. That role reversal is increasingly common in society, and it’s ripe for some observational humor. Will the film’s pedestrian first act lead to anything worthwhile? Meanwhile, Sonny’s oldest friend is itching for a reunion.

Me Time director John Hamburg shares Mark Wahlberg & Kevin Hart's antics on set and recalls favorite lines from his film I Love You, Man.

He's like, "Yeah, I was in Popstar," and then I remembered. I was like, "Have you ever been in a movie before?" I have a long list, but I keep it to myself because I don't want to jinx it. I want to ask a little bit of a spoilery question, because I'm a big fan of Seal. I think that was a John Favreau improv. And that was the genesis of the script. And then I kind of left the idea, and I think I went and made another movie and played around with some other stuff. Things like that take me by surprise, and I love it. You get a lot of Zoolander stuff, even though that movie is like 20 years old or something like that. You hear "Totes McGotes," or "Joben" or "Laters on the menjay."

Me Time adds plenty of star power to the supporting cast as well, such as Regina Hall ( [Girls Trip](https://screenrant.com/girls-trip-2-movie-updates-will-packer-response/)) as Sonny's wife Maya and Luis Gerardo Méndez ( [Narcos: Mexico](https://screenrant.com/narcos-mexico-season-3-scoot-mcnairy-luis-gerardo-mendez-interview/)) as her boss Armando Zavala.

So they expanded the role to what it is now and for that, I'm so grateful." I'm a big fan of John Hamburg and I'm a big fan of Mark. Hart and Hall have worked together in the past on movies such as Think Like a Man, About Last Night, and Death at a Funeral. Despite the vulnerable circumstances Wahlberg was put in, the actor had a great attitude toward the entire project and his co-star Kevin Hart.
