Kevin Hart plays Sonny, a stay-at-home dad who's a little overworked in the new Netflix comedy, Me Time. The streaming service released the first trailer for the upcoming film, giving audiences a glimpse at the wild antics that Sonny will participate in with an old friend, Huck, played by Mark Wahlberg.
"This week isn't about me. It's about us." Huck is turning 44 in Me Time, and he planned one huge, weekend-long celebration. Sonny is, of course, included in every aspect of the party, whether he wants to be or not. Sonny will go to a mini-version of Burning Man, fight off a mountain lion, and jump off a cliff in a wingsuit during his free time from his family. See the wild ride for yourself in the first trailer for Me Time.
The official synopsis reads: "When a stay-at-home dad finds himself with some "me time" for the first time in years while his wife and kids are away, he reconnects with his former best friend for a wild weekend that nearly upends his life."
In addition to Wahlberg and Hart, Me Time will star Regina Hall, Jimmy O. Yang, and Tahj Mowry. The film also features Carlo Rota, Luis Gerardo Méndez, Melanie Minichino, Deborah S. Craig, Thomas Ochoa, Kieran Roberts, and Chau Long. John Hamburg is helming the film, responsible for movies such as Why Him?, Along Came Polly, and I Love You, Man.
Me Time is part of Hart's major deal with Netflix through his production company HartBeat Production. The agreement guaranteed Hart would star in at least four films for the streaming service, with this movie being the first. Me Time is set to arrive on Netflix next month, on Aug. 26th.
Wahlberg and Hart Know How to Make a Successful Comedy
Me Time won't be the first collaboration between Kevin Hart and director John Hamburg, with the filmmaker previously writing for the 2018 film Night School, also starring Hart. In addition, the comedian has been in countless comedies, including Ride Along, Central Intelligence, Grudge Match, and Jumanji.
Mark Wahlberg also has experience in the genre, playing John Bennett in two Ted films opposite Seth MacFarlane. In addition, he starred in both Daddy's Home films with Will Ferrell and The Other Guys in 2010. Me Time marks the first collaboration between Hart and Wahlberg, whose chemistry appears to work based on the trailer.
Audiences can decide for themselves whether they like the duo when Me Time releases on Netflix next month, Aug. 26th.
