Next: Check out our Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power review to see why we think it's great - and divisive. So make sure you know what you're getting into first. It seems to be a simple outing, and this might be a case of mis-calibrated expectations. In a way, we're almost confused how it inspired such frustration from the audience. It looks best for those trying to relax and watch a so-gross-it's-funny juvenile movie that is prime for turning your brain off and giggling. Me Time, as you've seen above, isn't trying to re-invent the comedic wheel. Jeff P, though, disagrees, with a 4.5-star rating and review that simply says "This is funny as hell! If you like to laugh, you need to watch this one." Me Time outlook: Should you watch tonight? C'mon you guys could have done better with character development and the dialogue." There's just not enough time to write it all. There are (sic) just sooo much more that was wrong to this film. She says "I loved the characters, hate the whole "the husband (Kevin Hart) is in the wrong" vibe and dislike the lack of friendship development between Huck and Sonny. Stella S wrote a very upset 0.5-star review that hammers on the plot details (which I won't spoil here). There are actual quality movies out there. It's always entertaining to see Mark Wahlberg taking big swings though, and I can respect that. I would only watch it if I was stoned out of my mind. Had potential but the story and dialog was poor," while Miles S (who also gave it a 1.5-star score) wrote "In a word: Unfunny. Ravi G says he "Gave it 1.5 because I was able to finish watching it at least, otherwise a 1. But when it has a Rotten Tomatoes audience score of 29%? You start to wonder who it's actually for. Me Time could just be a Netflix movie that's more for fans than critics. Among them are a goodhearted portrait of an unconventional heterosexual marriage where the woman is the breadwinner, a celebration of friendship, and a few genuinely funny and unexpected moments that almost make up for the painfully clumsy special effects."Īnd while he notes that "a few" of the movie's raunchier jokes "land and the rest of them don't," he ends his review noting Me Time "comes with enough rewards nonetheless thanks to an idiosyncratic group of lovable people who just need to get a little crazy in order to survive as their true selves." Me Time audience reviews: What people are saying He notes that "Search this sometimes clunky, sometimes over-plotted story and you will find worthwhile pursuits in it. Tomris Laffly at is slightly mixed in his review. But that affection is likely to be tested with too many sub-par comic efforts such as this." For Good Morning America, Peter Travers wrote that Me Time is both "dim-witted and disposable" and its "hit-and-miss sight gags do not add up to the rowdy free-for-all that everyone clearly intended."įrank Scheck at The Hollywood Reporter writes "There’s nary an amusing or unpredictable moment in the film," and that while Hart and Wahlberg "have earned considerable good will from audiences over the course of their hugely successful careers. The audience score, which I'll get to below, isn't much better. Me Time reviews: What critics thinkĪs noted above, Me Time has an abysmal 8% Rotten Tomatoes critics score. While it seems like Sonny is letting his inner maniac out, he keeps getting physically hurt - with reasons to go back home and stay there. Sonny keeps getting into trouble, but soon finds ways to impress Huck and his friends. They even go to a cut-rate version of Burning Man. His favorite movie of all time is Almost Famous, which might account for his chosen career path as a journalist.Tired and stained, Sonny gives in and goes to meet up with Huck.
