Our PLAY, PAUSE or STOP review of the new Mark Wahlberg and Kevin Hart comedy. by Andrew Morgan Published on August 26th, 2022, 5:32 am EST. Share Tweet.
One of the rare characters in this film that knew how to bring it in every time he’s on-screen! Sonny needs to take time away from his family and reconnect with his life outside of them, including focusing on his own needs. In the early 2000s, writer/director John Hamburg was one of the best comedy minds in the industry. With the incredible early success of Meet The Parents, Zoolander, & I Love You, Man, Hamburg created iconic characters that still resonate with fans like myself to this day (I was once Zoolander for Halloween in my early 20s. They never seem to have a shorthand or a bond that brings them closer. Fun fact: This is the seventh movie that Kevin Hart & Regina Hall have acted in together.
The latest Kevin Hart buddy comedy, this time on Netflix, sees him enlist Mark Wahlberg for help with his supposed masculinity problems.
It’ll shock no one that, at regular intervals throughout this mirthless affair, Hart is also demeaned as a “bitch” and a “pussy,” and told that he has no “balls,” the film underscoring his quasi-castrated condition so often that the headliner’s schtick begins to feel borderline masochistic. Wahlberg does a halfhearted version of his goofy-cheery musclehead routine, and Hall is saddled with a two-dimensional character designed to be both a matronly scold and a negative example of what happens when women prioritize their careers over their kids. It’s at this juncture that Hamburg’s tale indulges in the first of its dreary switcheroos, revealing Huck to be far less sure of himself than he outwardly appears, which is as surprising as the fact that Hart seizes every opportunity to scream and flail about in trademark bug-eyed, temper-tantrum style. He’s a suburban domesticated dork and for that is mocked and humiliated by just about everyone he meets—no matter the backhanded praise he receives for being so good at his duties. Yang](https://www.thedailybeast.com/how-silicon-valley-star-jimmy-o-yang-is-using-humor-to-combat-covid-racism)) arrives at the gathering demanding that Huck settle an outstanding $47,000 debt, and then torches the place to prove his point. This isn’t as crazy as the fact that Sonny’s best friend is named “Huck Dembo,” which sounds less like a person than something you’d spend hours searching for at Home Depot.

The safest kinds of films are often the most uninteresting, and that’s definitely a sentiment that frustratingly applies to Me Time. That leads him back into the path of Wahlberg’s childhood best friend Huck Dembo, a manchild that’s approaching middle age with as little grace and dignity as possible, with the old buddies reconnecting on Huck’s 44th birthday bash that takes them into the desert. Me Time takes a talented filmmaker and a strong ensemble that should be playing to their strengths, but drowns everything in the unshakeable stench of mediocrity.

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 and Mark Wahlberg are old buds reconnecting in "Me Time," Sylvester Stallone is maybe a former superhero in "Samaritan" and Idris Elba is a Djinn ...
In theaters. Meanwhile the Djinn tells her the long version of his origin story, which can feel as long as the movie's title. "Mad Max" mastermind George Miller tells the story of a genie in a bottle in "Three Thousand Years of Longing," starring Tilda Swinton as a narratologist who frees a Djinn (Idris Elba) but is hesitant to make her three wishes. Granite City needs a superhero, and they get one — maybe — in the form of Joe Smith (Sylvester Stallone), an anonymous looking city dweller whom young Sam (Javon Walton) believes may be Samaritan, former protector of the city streets. "Overlord" director Julius Avery doesn't break the mold here, but he tells a grounded story that forgoes capes, tights and most hallmarks of today's superhero extravaganzas. Kevin Hart is a straight-laced dad and Mark Wahlberg is a loose cannon bachelor in "Me Time," a brutally unfunny buddy comedy, which makes no attempt to ever connect to anything resembling reality.
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

Netflix film "Me Time" is a perfectly watchable buddy comedy. John Hamburg lets Kevin Hart and Mark Wahlberg shoulder the entire weight.
And now that the idea is out in the ether, it’s up to Hart to act on it. But in between them, will it really hurt him to do something in the vein of “Shanghai Noon” and “Rush Hour”? And one of the ways to do so is by being with your loved ones and ensuring that you all have the space to co-exist. Finiteness means that you have to make the best of it. Kevin Hart and Mark Wahlberg’s on-screen chemistry is, for the lack of a better word, explosive. However, it’s undeniable that irrespective of the film or show he’s in, Hart never sleepwalks through his roles. They play everything so ironically that you cannot help but laugh at the innocence of their accidents and insults. Of course, this is a result of the writing, which largely revolves around “dad jokes” and safe humor. Finiteness doesn’t mean you have to make the most of it. He has showcased his dramatic acting chops in “ [Fatherhood](https://dmtalkies.com/fatherhood-summary-review-2021-film-kevin-hart/)” and one of the best miniseries of all time, “ [True Story](https://dmtalkies.com/true-story-ending-explained-netflix-mini-series-kevin-hart/).” But since hardly anyone logged into their Netflix accounts to watch those last two, he’s back again with a buddy comedy. Or that he’s on the verge of having a midlife crisis. The ethos of the film is quite antithetical to its title.

'Me Time' writer and director John Hamburg spoke exclusively with 'Distractify' about collaborating with Kevin Hart on his Netflix comedy film.
As for Mark, the duo approached the actor to play the role of "wannabe George Clooney," Huck. With Kevin in the driver's seat, the Along Came Polly writer revealed that he had extensive conversations with the actor to fit Kevin's "specific voice." "Kevin has such a specific voice that, for whatever reason, I think he and I work well together and I was able to capture it," he said. ... I put him on the spot." Just go," she said when asked about improvised lines in the movie. Kevin plays the role of Sonny Fisher, a stay-at-home dad who reconnects with his childhood best friend Huck (Mark) for a wild weekend.

'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.
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.

We were lucky to get him, and at his age to still be doing it, to still remember lines, to still be present on set. I can’t wait because I know there’s going to be a lot of laughter, and [that’s] what the world needs, and this guy’s been providing so many laughs and keeping people entertained through the difficult times. I was so pissed! To have him come… Wahlberg: Oh man, I never got to do no scenes with him. It was a complete shock to them, but people are going to absolutely love this movie. It’s not until it’s presented to him or brought up that he has some type of understanding of that. I can’t wait to see the rest of the cast, there’s so many wonderful performances in this movie. And he is just a really nice guy, so to be able to go and cut loose after I just did, I had just done Uncharted. So talk to me about like the script’s portrayal of work-life balance because that’s an issue everybody can relate to. Then I came into this movie and it was just so much fun. Kevin Hart: Well, I think it’s about not knowing that you’ve lost a piece of yourself.

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.

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.
