Me Time

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."

Not by a long shot. Yang, Luis Gerardo Méndez, and Andrew Santino are among the supporting cast.

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.

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.

- “Crazy” by Seal I don’t know about you, but I always take new films and television shows as an opportunity to find new music, and this irreverent comedy doesn’t disappoint. [Me Time](https://netflixlife.com/2022/08/26/me-time-cast-whos-in-the-kevin-hart-and-mark-wahlberg-netflix-movie/) is finally streaming on Netflix.

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.

Kevin Hart's Me Time is a perfect film to kick off the long weekend. But is the new Netflix release safe for kids? Here's a quick parents guide.
