Me Time movie review & film summary (2022) | Roger Ebert (Roger Ebert)

You have to hand it to Kevin Hart for his prolificacy at the very least, keeping the middle-brow, upper-middle-budget studio comedy going on his own terms.

Me Time Review - IGN (IGN)

Me Time features fun chemistry between Kevin Hart and Mark Wahlberg but is held back by a worn-out story.

The promise/premise of the movie is these two and their scenes get held back to an odd degree. The most underdeveloped of the three, actually, is Wahlberg's Huck, whose man-child catharsis at the end happens too speedily as the movie tidily figures out that everyone can have everything they want in terms of family and career. What works best are some of the actual lines and exchanges that capitalize on Hart and Wahlberg's fast-talking chemistry. In the case of Me Time, the reason Hart's Sonny is friendless, or at least hasn't really connected with his childhood friend Huck Dembo (Wahlberg, with a superb doltish movie name) in over a decade, is because he's rigidly dedicated himself to being a househusband and helicopter father after starting his own family. It's a different type of self-dug hole in that regard as the film, clumsily for the most part, addressees the issue of giving away too much of yourself for fear that you have no value outside of acts of service. Hart and Wahlberg fill the story with high energy and fun performances but the best aspects of the film came from previous movies, including director

'Crushingly dim-witted and disposable' - Critics have demolished ... (Techradar)

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

It still did two weeks at the top of [Netflix's Global 10 ](https://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/6361382/type/dlg/sid/trd-us-8211449048851891000/https://top10.netflix.com/films?week=2022-07-10)(opens in new tab)with over 100 million viewing hours.

[The New York Times' Teo Bugbee](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/25/movies/me-time-review.html) (opens in new tab) was as critical about the movie's production as she was about the script, stating that there's a "...flatness that feels apparent in every shot - and not just because the movie is filmed in bright, low contrast lighting."

What To Expect In 'Me Time' From Wahlberg And Hart (Guardian)

In the upcoming Kevin Hart and Mark Wahlberg Netflix comedy “Me Time,” there is a scene where Hart's character Sonny finally has a day to himself.

Yang comes after Huck for $47,000, it seems like a lot but also isn’t enough for someone who spends thousands of dollars on a private raw bar in the desert and a tour bus wrapped in pictures of himself. It is personable, a little ambitious, and only intended to serve as background. Hall undoubtedly deserved more, and Maya is only one of the many poorly developed characters at play here. The wealth on display in “Me Time” is downright distracting. He treats his job extremely seriously, cooking meals fit for an Instagram celebrity and taking care of the house while his wife Maya played by Regina Hall is at work. However, given who was there, it ought to be much better.

Stream It Or Skip It: 'Me Time' on Netflix, In Which Kevin Hart and ... (Decider)

Netflix's Me Time casts Mark Wahlberg as the latest co-star for Kevin Hart, who's amassing buddy comedies like a squirrel stuffing a hole full of nuts for the ...

Our Take: As ever, Hart is the great leveler, giving an enjoyable performance within the confines of a lackluster screenplay, resulting in a middling shrug of a comedy that inspires a few smirks before it ends and we never watch it again. Even Maya thinks Sonny should enjoy some time to himself, so she throws the kids on a plane to her parents’ house and he gets out the lotion and porn and you know how this scene ends – no, not the logical conclusion of such things, but like you’d get in a predictable broad R-rated comedy. Hart and Wahlberg indulge the boring guy/crazy guy dynamic and share two sentimental moments accompanied by delicately tinkled piano music. Oh, and Huck Dembo should’ve been named something else. Performance Worth Watching: And as always, Hart is the best thing about these romps. He makes the perfect school lunches, gets the kids and wife out the door and only manages to slip twice in shit left on the kitchen floor by their pet tortoise. He brings uptempo energy and an unerringly relatable, sympathetic component to these boilerplate roles. [The Man from Toronto](https://decider.com/movie/the-man-from-toronto/)), Dwayne Johnson ( [Central Intelligence](https://decider.com/movie/central-intelligence/)), Ice Cube (two [Ride Along](https://decider.com/movie/ride-along/)s) and Will Ferrell ( [Get Hard](https://decider.com/movie/get-hard/)) for goofball romps that were perfectly content being hit-and-miss mediocrities. In the PRESENT DAY, Sonny is happily married to Maya the Successful Architect (Regina Hall), and is a super-duper stay-at-home dad to Dash (Che Tafari) and Ava (Amentii Sledge). He looks across the school dropoff zone and wonders if he’s becoming poor sad lonely Crossing Guard Lenore. (Funny, how Hart’s best work was [Fatherhood](https://decider.com/2021/06/18/fatherhood-on-netflix-stream-it-or-skip-it/), which he carried on his own. He survives, of course, because it’s the very first scene in the movie.

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.

5 Best movies like Kevin Hart2019s 'Me Time' (PINKVILLA)

Kevin Hart and Mark Wahlberg's Me Time offers a lot of buddy comedy fun. So which other films feature similar outlines and entertainment value?

Although Wahlberg's portrayal in The Other Guys is very different from his unassuming one in Me Time, fans of the movie will still be excited to see him in a movie about an unlikely relationship. Although the main protagonists in Due Date and Me Time are not pals in the same sense, they both share a lot of humorous pratfalls. Although the slapstick comedy in Harold & Kumar is pretty similar to Me Time, it is undoubtedly on the raunchier side of things. [Kevin Hart](https://www.pinkvilla.com/entertainment/hollywood/heres-what-best-friends-dwayne-johnson-and-kevin-hart-got-each-other-their-birthdays-year-1161880) and Ice Cube collaborated on the film Ride Along, which was extremely similar to Me Time. The comedy timing of Wahlberg and Hart makes the movie entertaining. Me Time, when the main characters try to reignite their friendship spark, has a similar theme of friends rediscovering their relationship. In this road buddy comedy starring Zach Galifianakis and Robert Downey Jr., the former's character, Peter, is compelled to travel across the nation with the latter's character, Ethan, to reach home in time for the birth of his daughter. For the duo he forged with Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg's performance in The Other Guys typically ranks among his best films. Me Time, a buddy comedy starring Mark Wahlberg and Kevin Hart, premiered on Netflix on August 26, 2022, reintroducing both actors to the genre. Harold & Kumar succeeded despite the unlikely nature of its premise—two buddies travel to a White Castle restaurant to eat—to make a popular film. The titular pair's excursion to eat burgers involves a series of outrageous escapades that make for a crazy night. It might be wise to organize a binge-watch of these films after taking some time for yourself.

Me Time has bursts of energy and vibrancy, mostly involving its two leads and their snappy chemistry, but it's also a hodgepodge of predictable buddy comedy beats that doesn't do much to separate itself from what's come before.
