If the director had a teenage son, I would think that the son helped him with the script.
Jokes about drinking, poo and masturbation. Maybe some cousin must have done the special effects, they are terrible. Perhaps the wife suggested that the main character has a crazy friend, but the director wanted to make a film about a self-sufficient woman and an unemployed father. Because in another way, I can't explain this sur and problems in the structure. Despite all the above: the film tries to teach and offer the right values.
From the beginning, we are introduced to two friends. Heka's life is in danger, he spends money beyond the norm. And Sonny is a responsible adult who married his outstanding architect wife Maya, a tried to distance himself from the crazy friend. It is as if the author is everywhere looking for the edge of the right choice. Be friends with a crazy friend and accidentally die, leaving two fatherless children? Be a good father and forget about your own life?
Despite the fact that the author drags the plot from one extreme to another. A credit to the author for not portraying Sonny as a “stuck and miserable” guy—the man truly enjoys (and is good at) preparing elaborate meals, eagerly presiding the PTA at his kids’ school, and being at the same time a great father, while Maya sometimes struggles to recall her kids’ tastes and medical needs. And make no mistake here: “Me Time” doesn’t ever dare demonize Maya as a cliched “cold evil career woman.” This is a movie that accepts and understands on a surprisingly efficient level that if it’s societally accepted for a successful working man to fall behind on certain parental duties guilt free, it should absolutely be that way for a woman, too.
And of course, it was not without a sexy, successful and rich boy, who makes any man jealous. Tell me, how could he not be, when Maya and her boss cozily binge-watch “Bridgerton” on long flights and text each other romantic gifs. The film seems to be trying to find “WORK LIFE BALANCE”. After re-watching the film, seeing the result seems to make you think “What about you?”

I loved the dynamic between Kevin & Mark. I laughed through the first half of the movie, but then it just got stupid.
