Me Time - Un weekend tutto per me

When I first saw this trailer I wished that it was not a Netflix movie and was in theaters because with a comedic duo like Kevin Hart and Mark Wahlberg it deserved an audience. So I thought. Truthfully nothing about the cast was the problem. The story was all over the place and it was painfully unfunny. It was just cheesy and I fail to see why every comedy feels like some random wild animal attack is supposed to be funny. The party scenes were weak like a watered down version of Bad moms and of all musicians they get seal who just added another boring scene to an already boring movie. I mean it's Mark Wahlberg and Kevin Hart so it's not a total disaster but the script was just crap. A silver lining for me was a newcomer that played the Uber driver Thelma. She's really got something. Bet money you're gonna see her more and hopefully in leading roles. That said the only other highlight was seeing Mark Wahlberg's ass. I really thought it was gonna be good it just wasn't but definitely not the actors' fault. They worked with what they had.

Guess I'll be the first to rate this then.

The movie just doesn't really get going. If it's aiming to be a comedy, it just wasn't funny. If it's aiming to be wild and wacky, then it fails in that category too.

I feel like to movie's idea was have Sonny have a wild adventure with Huck but then the budget said actually you guys have to film in the desert and suburbs and not really do much.

The writing was very lazy and both Mark and Kevin really just dialled in a sub par performance. Mark definitely didn't look like he wanted to be here.

Netflix really need to start adding good content again. It's flops like this which are causing people to leave.

...when big Hollywood names go for the big money and Netflix think they can score easy with those big names and with no effort besides that.

If Kevin and Mark weren't in this movie this would be considered a laughably bad B-movie. Come to think of it even with Mark and Kevin this is a laughably bad B-movie. The bad part starts in the first scene I mean just look at the CGI helicopter...

So apparently you need to have 600 characters in these reviews nowadays. So here goes. Kevin Hart puts up a predictable performance. The typical comedy we've seen him do now a million times in his movies. I mean I loved his movies but some point it's getting old. It's too predictable and too easy. Even Mark's brand of comedy is been there done that.

I am a big fan of Kevin Hart. He usually makes me laugh a lot. I saw the rating on IMDB and thought: maybe it's because it has just been released and doesn't have enough votes. No, it's bad, really bad.

The director decided to throw money everywhere and ended up with an American Pie wannabe movie for dads. I have watched 1 hour of it and laughed 0 times. They managed to make the funniest actor on earth, not funny at all, just cringe.

It's the first time I can't finish one of Kevin Hart's movies.

I just don't understand how he and Wahlberg accepted doing this. Is this really the guy that wrote "Meet the parents?"

Do not waste your time.

1) Boot laptop

2) Open "Movie Formula 2c - Family Comedy.doc" file

3) Change husband profession to Homemaker/School Talent Show director

4) Change wife profession to architect

5) Change house pet to tortoise

6) Change relationship with troublemaker to "best friend"

7) Find and replace "Main Character" with "Kevin Hart"

8) Find and Replace "Secondary Character" with "Mark Wahlberg"

9) Find "primary action joke" scene - insert joke sequence 17A

10) Print and distribute.

There ya go.. this film in a nutshell. There's NOTHING original here. It's all terribly predictable without any surprises whatsoever.

That being written, it's not "terrible" - it's just VERY run-of-the-mill. NO ONE is stepping outside any comfort zones here - not the actors, not the writer/director.... no one. I, personally, found no laughter here - I saw the attempts, but all the jokes fell completely flat for me. Watch with the family.. teenagers or "tweens" MIGHT like it more - merely because they may not be aware of some of the 'the world doesn't work like that' aspects. But it's just sugar-coated standard schlock from Netflix's "family comedy" sweatshop.
