“I remember sending it to Mark, and obviously, I was nervous that he would respond and maybe not want to do it,” Hamburg tells The Hollywood Reporter about the cheeky scene. Hamburg recalls Hart suggesting that Sonny’s first in-person meeting with Huck be a bit more memorable, which was achieved thanks to an added scene in which Wahlberg gamely shows off his toned bare backside after his character emerges from a skinny-dipping session. Hamburg didn’t initially pen Me Time with its eventual stars in mind, but having worked as a writer on Hart’s 2018 film Night School, he knew the star would be a perfect fit for the lead, although the script needed some tweaks to make it work. Netflix's Steamy 'Supersex' Teaser Causes a Stir on Instagram - and Briefly Disappears The filmmaker behind the project, who also wrote the script, is John Hamburg, known for a string of successful 2000s laughers, including working as a writer on all three Meet the Parents films and 2001’s sleeper hit Zoolander, along with helming Along Came Polly (2004), I Love You, Man (2009) and Why Him? (2016).
The movie, currently streaming, stars Kevin Hart as Sonny Fisher, a musician and stay-at-home dad who manages to find some coveted time away from breadwinner-wife Maya ( Regina Hall) and their kids by joining carefree pal Huck ( Mark Wahlberg) on a hedonistic weekend adventure that quickly goes awry. Me Time brings a type of buddy comedy to Netflix that theatrical audiences haven’t gotten to experience as much in recent years, and the film is courtesy of a writer and director who knows quite a bit about the genre’s glory era.
