The Worst Movies Of 2022

Kevin Hart has a lot of fans, but in his willingness to give the audience what it wants, he churns out a lot of movies — so many that their quality could be suffering. "Me Time" is Hart's third movie of 2022, and according to Rotten Tomatoes, it's the worst of his career, amassing a paltry 6% rating. 

Hart plays his usual screen character — a high-strung, wisecracking, deeply insecure regular guy. This time out, Hart portrays Sonny, a doting dad who feels he's losing his edge and is in need of some time away from his wife and children, just to himself, to do the kind of guy stuff he thinks he likes. And so, when the family is away, Sonny gets to play, calling up his estranged best friend, Huck (Mark Wahlberg), to hang out and have fun, meaning he doesn't really want or ever get the "me time" the title promises.

Wahlberg, who usually plays the uptight guy, relishes the opportunity to be the agent of chaos (and revenge) in a series of cliched, predictable scenarios where everything that can possibly go wrong totally does, in cliched, predictable ways. And then Hart repeatedly overreacts to absurd, implausible dangers. Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times found "Me Time" to be "stunningly unfunny," while Christy Lemire of FilmWeek said the movie "is so wacky, shticky, and broad, and there is not a single surprise to be had."
