WORST OF THE WORST (tie): 

THE MAN FROM TORONTO

If you think a buddy team-up between Woody Harrelson and Kevin Hart would be the best thing ever…think again. They’re likable dudes, but their chemistry is DOA in this lackluster action-comedy of mistaken identity between a backfiring entrepreneur (Hart) and the world’s deadliest assassin (Harrelson). Best of all, it can all be blamed on printer toner. Practically everything director Patrick Hughes (The Hitman’s Bodyguard) comes up with has been done a million times over with one exception: they are way more entertaining than what’s thrown together here. Lazy and unfunny, Hart is stuck doing his usual schtick while Harrelson is just trying to look cool by being decked out in black from head-to-toe. Whatever they do hardly matters because there’s no escaping such obnoxious material. It’s pretty painful to watch them try, too.

ME TIME

Kevin Hart plays Sonny, a stay-at-home dad who’s dedicated to his family but somewhere along the way stopped doing stuff for himself. His wife (Regina Hall) hatches a plan for her to take their two kids on a trip without him so he can have a week to himself to do whatever he pleases. And after dodging his best buddy Huck (Mark Wahlberg), he eventually reconnects with him to go all out in celebrating his birthday. What ensues is derisive, unfunny, and so stupid. It’s hard to imagine this coming from the writer/director of I Love You, Man and Along Came Polly, but unfortunately it is.

What Wahlberg and Hart are doing these days is very predictable, and their on-screen friendship feels fake and forced. These two guys can do comedy but they’re clearly just going through the motions here. The one I feel sorry for is Hall. She’s way too good to be stuck in such a dull role where she’s not allowed to be funny. Viewers are cheated throughout the entire movie with a weak story about friendship and being yourself that’s filled with dumbass antics we have to suffer through. Me Time is a total waste of time.
