Mark Wahlberg, 51, stopped by “Big Boy’s Neighborhood” on Thursday and explained that he’d already agreed to star in 43-year-old Hart’s Netflix buddy comedy “Me Time” when the comedian decided to expose his bare derriere. “He [Hart] came to me with [the movie] and John Hamberg and I said, ‘Absolutely,'” Wahlberg recalled.

Amy Nicholson “Me Time,” a slapdash comedy by writer-director John Hamburg (“I Love You, Man”), stars Kevin Hart as Sonny Fisher, a stay-at-home parent suffering from what Betty Friedan labeled “the problem with no name.” Sonny feels lonely and out-of-step around adults with concerns more grown-up than his fixation on minivan technology, elementary school talent shows and a proposal to include plant-based milks in the cafeteria. His wife Maya (Regina Hall), a high-powered architect, proposes that he press pause on his domestic responsibilities to reconnect with his own inner needs. She’ll take their two kids Dash and Ava (Che Tafari and Amentii Sledge) over spring break if he’ll agree to attend the 44th birthday blowout extravaganza of his childhood best friend Huck (Mark Wahlberg), a footloose, Peter Pan-esque party boy whose company isn’t much more mature.

Me Time, directed and written by John Hamburg (Meet The Parents), pairs Hollywood powerhouses Kevin Hart and Mark Wahlberg in a chemistry-free friendship full of slapstick comedy and hijinks.

Regina Hall also stars in the film and is regulated to the background as the nagging significant other. It’s actually impressive how unfunny this film is and that one must sit through every painful moment until the credits roll.
