The new film stars Kevin as Sonny, a stay-at-home dad who finds himself with some 'me time' for the first time in years when his wife and kids go away for the weekend. He decides to reconnect with an old friend, Huck, played by Mark, and the pair embark on a wild weekend that threatens to upend his life. 

Viewers were divided over the new comedy, with some taking to Twitter to complain about the plot and "lowbrow" humour. One person wrote: "#MeTime has some funny moments but it's yet another lazy, mostly unfunny and instantly forgettable Netflix comedy filled with unnecessary subplots. It benefits from Kevin Hart and Mark Wahlberg's chemistry but the lowbrow humour, unfocused story and terrible script weigh it down."

A second viewer added: "I don't know how #MeTime can have Kevin Hart and Mark Wahlberg and still be so awful. No wonder people are calling it each of their worst movies. I barely got through it. What a let down. Normally I can enjoy Kevin doing anything and John Hamburg has made some of my fav comedies. Not this one."
