REVIEW #208 Me Time (2022)

Sonny is the stay at home dad who finally finds himself with some ‘Me Time’ for the first time in years. He decides to reconnect with an old friend, a decision that nearly upends his life.

Me Time works best during the grounded moments of comedy between Kevin Hart and Mark Wahlberg but unfortunately has some bizarre moments which make the latest Netflix flick look more silly, than comical. The idea to have scenes with CGI was a strange creative decision because it looked poor and was definitely not needed. They could have replaced it with a more grounded source of comedy, it would have had the same effect and the CGI wouldn’t have acted as a low budget distraction. That being said there are a lot of moments that had me laughing out loud and that was the purpose of the film, so it had some success. I liked the chemistry between the two lead actors and it wasn’t the worst buddy comedy I have ever seen but it was certainly forgettable.

Overall (6/10)

Thanks for reading.
