Movie review: ‘Me Time,’ with Kevin Hart and Mark Wahlberg, has trouble finding the funny

Somewhere around the midpoint of “Me Time,” if not sooner, it may hit you: You could be watching “Old School” or “The Hangover” instead.

Those two gems from the 2000s do better jobs, respectively, of mining laughs from a man mired in midlife monotony learning how to have fun again and from a wild night shared among longtime friends that gets out of hand than this underwhelming comedy landing on Netflix this week.

On the other hand, neither “Old School” nor “The Hangover” boasts the typically hilarious Kevin Hart, as “Me Time” does. And, if you’ll excuse our grammar, that’s not nothing. (Conversely, neither features Hart’s co-star, Mark Walberg, which is another point for each of them.)
