Me Time - Un weekend tutto per me

Something I've noticed with writer/director John Hamburg is that he either writes extremely funny comedies, or comedies that won't make you laugh once. 'Me Time' is unfortunately the latter. This movie was not funny in the least bit.

The problem with Kevin Hart, and the reason I almost never enjoy his movies, is that they're based around energy rather than clever writing. He does bring energy to a movie but that doesn't do it for me. I need some intelligence in the script. Hart is more likely to try and find comedy in slipping on something on the floor, than making a clever observation or witty retort.

Mark Wahlberg can be great in comedies but he needs to be playing off someone who is truly funny. When he's in the 'Ted' movies opposite Seth MacFarlane or opposite Will Ferrell in something like 'The Other Guys' he can play the straight guy and make the other guy even funnier. When the other guy isn't funny like Hart however, Wahlberg's performance comes across very flat as it does in 'Me Time'.

If we learnt anything from 'Scary Movie' and the 2022 Oscars it is that Regina Hall is probably the most talented comic this film has. And yet they don't give her anything to work with. Not once is she given an opportunity to be funny. She is just there to be the run of the mill wife who ticks every cliche in the book. It was very disappointing to see that.

I could go on and on and about the reasons this movie was terrible but I don't think it is worth my energy. I didn't enjoy this one at all. 3/10.

First of all, I love Mark Wahlberg and Kevin Hart and have watched almost every movie of them. The trailer was quite promising and i expected a comedy, even if it was clear that the genre would not be defined new.

Unfortunately, this movie failed to be funny with it's jokes being questionable. Too many pointless jokes with guys displaying too much childish behavior. I know that's what the producers intended to do but i'm wondering who's enjoying such deviate storytelling? In conclusion, it was the first and the last time that I was watching this movie. Well done, one more movie that very likely no one will remember as it goes down in the archive of forgotten movies.

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.

...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.
