I don't think I chuckled even once during this whole movie. Both the dialogue and the storyline were bland and none of the jokes landed. Acting was fairly decent from the cast but the characters lacked depth. Plot was kind of all over the place and a lot of unnecessary back and forth. The ending was way too forced feel good, it was expected and delivery lacked any real empathy. Was expecting a lot more from this cast but surprisingly Hart and Wahlberg lacked the buddy chemistry needed to pull something like this off. Definitely a skip, not worth the time it took to watch. Like they pulled all the modern movie tropes and tried to pass them off as unexpected.
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.

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.

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.

It was suppose to be a comedy movie and when i saw the main cast i was really into it.
Mark and Kevin has some great comedy movies. How bad this could go wrong... well it went horribly.
Jokes were so bad and predictable that even Kevin Hart couldnt execute in a fun way and Mark was complete like a guest star.
I hope they can meet in a better project with a better story that we can have fun and good time.
It is one of these movies that the trailer is better than the whole movie. Netflix really needs to change the movies department. They have only couple of good series and thats all.
I cant say anything for the rest of the characters. Because they were so cliche. Writers tried to make them funny as well and ended up being annoying. Uber driver to get help, really.
