Me Time review: Netflix's latest comedy falls apart | Digital Trends (Digital Trends)

'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.

Me Time movie review & film summary (2022) | Roger Ebert (Roger Ebert)

You have to hand it to Kevin Hart for his prolificacy at the very least, keeping the middle-brow, upper-middle-budget studio comedy going on his own terms.

Me Time Review - IGN (IGN)

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

'Me Time' Ending, Explained - Why Does Huck Owe Money To A ... (Digital Mafia Talkies)

"Me Time" opens with Huck (Mark Wahlberg) celebrating his 29th birthday by taking Sonny (Kevin Hart) for some wingsuit gliding. While hurtling to the ground ...

He sees that Huck is at the harbor, and he assumes that Stan is about to kill him. 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.

Me Time review – time well spent (Ready Steady Cut)

This review of the Netflix film Me Time starring Kevin Hart does not contain spoilers or any significant plot points.

It’s far from a perfect comedy but it certainly won me over and I enjoyed spending time with Hart and Wahlberg in particular. Some of the supporting characters grated a touch and things seemed to tie together very neatly at the end for everyone. Wahlberg brings a lovely touch of humanity to his character and in particular, I enjoyed spending time with his Huck.
