Me Time is pointless and lazy. Kevin Hart's act is tired, but it's the only effort here. The story is muddled, unrealistic, and generic, delivering inconsistent characters, contrived emotions, and irrelevant side plots. Genuine topics of self-fulfillment, estranged friendships, and parental partnerships are handled with mocking carelessness. Conflicts are illogical, resolutions are forced, and themes are exploited for cheap humor. Thus, Me Time is counterproductive and insulting. Also, it isn't funny or clever. Hart's charm is heavily outweighed by a lost narrative, juvenile antics, simplistic jokes, insincere drama, and a disengaged Wahlberg. Consequently, Me Time is a messy void.
Technically, Me Time is similarly negligent. Its cinematography is overlit and arbitrarily framed. The musical number is cringey and unconvincing. The CGI is weak and unnecessary. The editing has cooldown moments but is otherwise unintentional about pacing, structure, or transitions. Meanwhile, the ADR sound is distracting, the production design is sterile (complete with product placements), and the direction has no strategy. Overall, Me Time's filmmaking is tacky and its script is sloppy. True comedy comes from relatability, insight, honesty, and skilled setup. Instead, Me Time offers nothing outside of Kevin Hart improvisations, and viewers should not waste their time.
