Wondering if ME TIME on Netflix is ok for kids? Me Time is a raunchy rated R buddy comedy that is not kid-friendly. The jokes fall flat and Kevin Hart and Mark Wahlberg seem to have lost some spark, because the film was not funny. Here’s what parents need to know in this Me Time Parents Guide.
Me Time Parents Guide
Sonny (Kevin Hart) is a stay-at-home dad, supporting his career wife and needs some “me time.” Ever since he and his wife had children, Sonny has dedicated his time to the family.

Is Me Time Kid Friendly?
Me Time is not kid friendly due to its R rating and sexual humor and nudity. The themes are very mature for young audiences.
Language

Mature Content
Sexual humor and content is high in Me Time. A man and woman about to have sex discuss different positions. There are talks about masturbation as well as a character seen about to rub lotion on himself and watching porn when his wife and child walk in. There are also other sexual conversations about condoms and AIDS. Characters go to strip clubs. Some characters are seen swimming nude and back nudity and behinds are shown.

There is crass and potty humor including farting, vomiting, poop jokes.
Characters drink alcohol and are seen drunk. There is a drug reference where a character appears to be using cocaine but it is another substance.
There is some violence used for comedic effect like fingers being smashed with a hammer or people being punched. Also a wild animal attacks a character.
Is Me Time Appropriate for Kids Under 16?
I wouldn’t recommend Me Time for kids under 17. You can expect to see you can expect to see some sex scenes and partial nudity, comedic violent scenes, alcohol and drug use, and profanity used by some of the characters. To sum it up, Me Time is not kid-friendly or appropriate for kids or tweens. Teens are iffy, depending if parents are comfortable with that kind of sexual material for their kids.
The one thing I did appreciate about Me Time was the reversal of roles where it’s typically the woman who is the stay-at-home mom who somewhat loses herself in the midst of caretaking for the children. There are a lot of stay-at-home dads, though whether I can’t say whether this depiction is accurate on what they would choose for me time.
