Playdate is an unexpected action-comedy rollercoaster that pairs a suburban dad with full-blown chaos.
The film brings together the unlikely but electric duo of Alan Ritchson and Kevin James, fusing slapstick charm with muscle-bound mayhem for a comedy duo you didn’t know you needed.
When recently unemployed accountant Brian (Kevin James) agrees to a playdate with charismatic stay-at-home dad Jeff (Alan Ritchson) and their sons, he expects a leisurely afternoon of small talk and football tossing.
Instead, he’s thrust into a chaotic scramble to stay alive as a ruthless team of mercenaries pursues them. Brian stumbles through one ridiculous obstacle after another, his zero tactical skills a stark contrast to Jeff’s oddly prepared demeanour.
Director Luke Greenfield (Let’s Be Cops, The Girl Next Door) hilariously collides suburban dad life with high-stakes thrills, transforming an ordinary afternoon into an absurd action-packed adventure where minivan mayhem meets professional hitmen.
In addition to Alan Ritchson and Kevin James, the film features a diverse cast including Sarah Chalke, Alan Tudyk, Benjamin Pajak, Banks Pierce, Hiro Kanagawa, with Stephen Root and Isla Fisher.
Playdate is pure fun: packed with over-the-top action, laugh-out-loud set pieces, and a refreshing twist on the buddy comedy formula.
Streaming on the 12th of November, only on Prime Video.
