I know what you’re thinking, another comedy about an out-of-work dad trying to find his way? Well, not quite. Me Time, the newest film from director John Hamburg (Meet the Parents, I Love You Man), is actually a surprising and heartfelt look at stay-at-home dads struggling to balance their time between taking care of their kids and maintaining their masculinity while still having fun. And it’s hilarious! John Hamburg’s ‘Me Time’ Is a Hilarious Look at the Struggles of Stay-at-Home Dads

Why we need movies like ‘Me Time’

Many Hollywood comedies put stay-at-home dads through the wringer. Between being pushed to fit into tropes and being seen as incompetent parents, few movies offer nuanced portrayals of this oft forgotten community. Me Time provides much needed laughs with a heartwarming narrative that focuses on friendship, parenting, and the struggle of getting some me time. Sonny Fisher (Kevin Hart) is desperate for some much needed time off while his wife is out of town on business.

He convinces his best friend Armando Zavala (Luis Gerardo Méndez) to take care of their two kids during the day, but Sonny quickly realizes he may have bitten off more than he can chew when he learns how much work it takes to run a household. His kids are driving him crazy and soon enough he’s turning into a walking nightmare! Luckily, Armando arrives in the nick of time just in time before all hell breaks loose!

An honest look at what being a father looks like

A highly entertaining take on what it takes to be a parent and stay-at-home dad, Me Time is an insightful look into the trials and tribulations of how hard it can be to maintain that me time as parents. Sonny Fisher (Kevin Hart) is spending his first moment alone since being a dad while his wife Chloe (Regina Hall) is away on business. He tries to enjoy himself but always feels guilty when he has fun by himself. Armando Zavala (Luis Gerardo Méndez), Sonny’s best friend from high school and college, arrives for a visit with his son Alexi. When Alexi asks about why Armando doesn’t live with them anymore, Armando says that he just needed some space because sometimes it gets too tiring to have so many people around all the time.

How ‘Me Time’ differs from other parenting comedies

In John Hamburg’s ‘Me Time,’ stay-at-home dad Sonny Fisher (Kevin Hart) is suddenly left with his three kids and wife Jenny (Regina Hall) while they are on vacation. No one thought to inform him of their plans and he worries that it will be an unenjoyable and stressful week. However, what becomes most troublesome for Sonny is his struggle to balance work and family life all while not seeing himself as having any authority in either arena. It doesn’t help that Armando Zavala (Luis Gerardo Méndez), the children’s new nanny, has more control over them than Sonny ever had. A man who spends too much time at home starts to feel resentment towards those who actually spend time outside of it.

If you are looking for a movie that is packed with hilarious laughs and heartwarming moments, then Me Time is for you. John Hamburg successfully tells the story of two friends from high school reuniting over the struggles they’ve had as fathers while still staying true to their roots as jokesters. I thought Luis Gerardo Méndez did an excellent job playing Armando Zavala, one half of this comedic duo, who spends most of his time joking and trying to get away with almost anything. Mark Wahlberg was also impressive in the role of Sonny, a stay-at-home dad who starts having some me time after spending years doing nothing but taking care of everyone else. Sonny has never really known what it feels like to be happy because he’s always taken care of everyone else around him before himself. But when he starts thinking about himself for once in his life and meeting up with old friend Armando, things start to change.

After attending various international film festivals with his short films, Luis joined forces with John Hamburg to co-write and co-star in Me Time, the debut film for writer/director John Hamburg.

What made you want to be a writer/director?

It started out as a hobby. I really enjoy watching movies and thought it would be fun to try and write my own. It quickly became something I was passionate about and wanted to pursue as an actual career. My favorite part about writing is being able to tell stories from all sorts of perspectives. The challenges are always exciting, so it never feels like work to me. I hope that people can connect with this story because it’s one that needs to be told.

Working on Me Time has been such a joy!

And if you’re asking who Luis Gerardo Méndez is…he plays Armando Zavala in Me Time!

How did you come up with this concept?

I came up with this concept when I saw Luis Gerardo Méndez as Armando Zavala in Netflix’s first Mexican comedy series, La casa de las flores (2012). He reminded me so much of my own dad who is a stay-at-home dad. This movie is funny, but it also provides important insight into the challenges that stay-at-home dads face. Luis Gerardo Méndez as Armando Zavala has been praised for his performance and called one of Mexico’s best actors by Forbes Magazine.

This film will be released on December 25th 2022, and will have a wide release through theaters and streaming services like Netflix.

What was your research process like?

The protagonist, Sonny, is portrayed by actor Kevin Hart. Sonny is a stay-at-home dad that has not seen his wife and kids in about a year since he started staying home to take care of them. To relieve some stress and do something for himself for once, he decides to find out what it would be like to go back to work. I spoke with my coworker who also takes care of her kids all day while her husband works and she described how she feels when they come home. I think this research will help me create an accurate portrayal of a mother’s perspective on the struggles of being a full-time parent.

Since women are the ones primarily taking care of their children, they have more insight into the daily challenges that are faced by parents with stay-at-home dads.

If we don’t include women’s perspectives on these types of films then we will never get accurate portrayals or experiences.

What was your favorite part about making this movie?

It was such an honor to work with John, Regina, and Kevin and be in a film that will hopefully resonate with so many families. My favorite part of filming Me Time was getting to see Luis Gerardo Méndez as Armando Zavala for the first time! I really enjoyed working with him on this project and am excited for his performance. He did such a great job at being intimidating but also understanding and supportive of Sonny.

I felt like we had great chemistry together which is important when you’re playing husband and wife.

Luis is such a kind person and he never fails to make me laugh or make me feel good about myself when we’re together.

Where can people go to learn more about you?

I am Luis Gerardo Méndez, one of the screenwriters for Me Time, and as you might expect, I have been fortunate enough to see this dream become a reality. The film is in theaters now! It tells the story of Sonny (played by Kevin Hart), who comes to find he has some me time while his wife and kids are away. He has some help from friends played by Mark Wahlberg and Regina Hall on navigating everything life throws his way with hilarity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the movie me time Rated R?

Why is Me Time Rated R? This question came up for many viewers when this movie trailer was first released. I think, to better understand this decision, one should know that there are two sections to the film– Before The Trip and After The Trip. Before the trip, Armando Zavala (played by Luis Gerardo Méndez) is married with a family he cares deeply about. He has no time for himself but does not mind it because his needs are met with love.

After the trip, after going through an experience as extreme as being left in charge of his niece and nephews while their parents go on vacation, he begins to question whether or not his wife really loves him like she says she does because her words do not match her actions.

Is Me Time appropriate for 10 year olds?

The answer is it depends on who you ask. Let’s say for a moment that your ten year old has seen no more than one sex scene in their lifetime.

On the other hand, if they have watched movies or tv shows with mature themes, than it might not be appropriate.
