Introduction to Kevin Hart Me Time Netflix Movie Review

 

Kevin Hart Me Time Netflix movie is a 2022 buddy comedy film that may be worth your time to check out. For the most part, the film to me was predictable from start to finish - with one exception dealing with a singing guest who makes an appearance. However there were a few noteworthy parts in the Kevin Hart Me Time Netflix movie.

 

The above being said, should you watch Kevin Hart Me TIme Netflix movie and if you do, will you enjoy doing so?

 

Check out my movie review of Kevin Hart Me TIme Netflix movie to find out.

 

Synopsis of Kevin Hart Me Time Netflix Movie

 

The title of the movie is self-explanatory, meaning Kevin Hart plays the role of a stay-at-home father (Sonny Fisher) whose wife, Regina Hall as Maya Fisher convinces Kevin Hart’s character to have some me time for himself. 

 

The film shows where he is with his son and daughter daily, helping them get ready for their day, including drilling his son to practice the keyboard for an upcoming school talent show. In the meantime, his wife is the breadwinner, working as an architect who spends less time with their children.

 

Initially, Kevin Hart’s character declined an invitation to join Mark Wahlberg's character (Huck Dembo) to celebrate his 44th birthday bash. The two have been friends for a long time; however, currently their lives have taken different turns.

 

Kevin Hart is now a married father of two with a wife, while Mark Wahlberg’s character is a bachelor who seems to go to extreme lengths to have a good time which include spending lots of money. This is the type of fun Kevn Hart’s character steers away from since he is now married and have family responsiblities.

 

However, after some reflection from himself internally and persuasion from his wife externally, Kevin Hart’s character decides to attend Mark Wahlberg’s birthday celebration -- while his wife takes a break from her job as an architect to take their  two children to their grandparents’ home.

 

Comedy Methods Used in  Kevin Hart Me TIme Netflix Movie

 

Kevin Hart begins the movie by demonstrating slap-stick type comedy which seems dated and to me, was not funny, such as falling, slipping, etc.

 

His character also uses the comedic element of bodily functions shown in gross ways. This method seemed childish and in my opinion was more appalling instead of funny.

 

I believe that Kevn Hart and other comedy type actors need to knowthat movie scripts do not need to have lines that show cringing bodily functions, noises, etc. in the story to be comedic. 

 

Predictability of Kevin Hart Me TIme Netflix Movie

 

For the most part, you will probably figure out that when Kevin Hart has his me time, he will go overboard to the point of getting in trouble with his family.

 

On the plus side, Kevin Hart Me Time Netflix movie has a surprise singing guest in the film, which I will not divulge here. Other than that, there are no other surprises in the movie except maybe the story of the woman who is the school's crossing guard.

 

Realism of Kevin Hart Me Time Netflix Movie

 

As a comedy movie, realism is not a big attribute of Kevin Hart Me TIme Netflix movie. However, it seemed unlikely that someone would simply give even his best friend such a large amount of money not to be paid back as was done during the Kevin Hart Me Time Netflix movie. There may be a loan involved, but I’m sure in all likelihood there would not be such a big money gift with no expectation to be repaid.

 

Regarding realism in casting, -- the loan shark, in my opinion, (Jimmy O Yang as Sam Berman) did not seem to be a threatening figure. To cut to the chase, someone else more menacing-looking should have been cast in his place.

 

On the other hand, Jimmy O Yang’s female accomplice was realistic in her role, until later during the party, she changed her personna and became star-struck with the surprise musical guest. Her role would have been believable if she stayed in character as a threat to Mark Wahlberg’s character for nonpayment of his debt.

 

As for Kevn Hart’s acting talent, he basically plays the same comedic characters that he has in some of his other movies such as The Man From Toronto, Night School and many others.

 

Mark Wahberg’s Changing Appearance in Kevin Hart Me TIme Netflix Movie

 

Mark Wahlberg has a big part in the Kevin Hart Me Time Netflix movie, from the beginning, middle, and end of the film. Towards the end of the movie, you may notice as I did that Mark Wahlberg’s physical appearance is not as athletic as when the movie started.  

 

I checked and I found out that Mark Wahlberg lost a lot of weight due to another movie he was working on during this time, namely Father Stu.  

 

Lessons Learned from Kevin Hart Me TIme Netflix Movie

 

There are a few common-sense type lessons to be reminded of from the Kevin Hart Me Time Netflix movie.  Some include:

 

-Be true to yourself

-Do not coerce someone, even your relative to do something that he or she really does not want to do

-Remain adults even during celebrations and set good examples as role models

-Looks can be deceiving, for example Mark Wahlberg’s character seemed to be having the time of his life, when in movie reality he is out of a job, an over-spender of money he does not have, etc.

-Stay comfortable in your own skin and if you go outside of your comfort zones, do so as not to harm yourself and others.

 

There may be other lessons, but I will stop here.
