VOD: Me Time (dir: John Hamburg, 2022)

HAPPY 13th BIRTHDAY TO MY BLOG!

REVIEW No. 1350!

"There's no way I'm f***ing a tortoise!"

This film is the very definition of a dated mismatched-buddy comedy starring Kevin Hart and Mark Wahlberg, and for the most part it is as crass and desperate as expected, as a family man (Hart) gets a few days away at his estranged friend-from-former-days' birthday trip.  Watching middle-aged men trying to recapture their youth to comedic effect rarely works in this sort of film, and nothing much of interest happens here.  The film drowns in a sea of seemingly-improvised excessive dialogue that simply floats by.  Hart overacts and over-talks, the dependable Wahlberg is oddly subdued, and overall Me Time does little to truly entertain.
