Playdate

ActionComedy

Directed by Luke Greenfield

When out-of-work accountant Brian joins stay-at-home dad Jeff for a playdate with their sons, he expects a laid-back afternoon. Instead, they're chased by mercenaries, and Brian—totally unprepared—must survive one absurd obstacle after another. From TMDB

    PLAYDATE is not a good movie, but it is proof of concept that Alan Ritchson’s agent needs to find some Blockers/21 Jump Street/Neighbors-level, hot dummy scripts.

    I had a realisation that next month is when the second Simpsons theatrical short, Playdate with Destiny was released onto theaters with Onward. And it was the last film I saw before Covid shut the world down I am feeling old over 5 years, I hate this feeling.

    Finally, some 2025 films (except AMERICANA, was from 2023) worth my time on the watchlist. PLAYDATE is enjoyable fun, AMERICANA is copied 90's western-noir indie, RUNNING MAN is a great Remade film & PREDATOR BADLANDS is unexpectedly very Yautja's warrior film #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

    But also, Disney would’ve continue experimenting with their new division at the time, 20th Century Studios like putting animated shorts based on their animated series like Simpsons and Bob’s Burgers before a Disney movie. Playdate with Destiny before Onward would’ve not been the only one to do so.

    PLAYDATE - REVIEW 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻 A pretty basic action comedy movie, but Alan Ritchson is such a loveable idiot in this. Dude is just oozing with charisma, but also slap stick comedy! Kevin James is alright, and the kid actors got a chuckle out of me as well, so worth a view. #movie #review #moviereview

    So many people hoard the #Playdate, keeping it locked in a death grip and staring at the screen, not sharing it with someone and enjoying the theater of the mind enabled by sound, the “other sense.” God, what is wrong with them?!

    And one last thing, when it premiered in theaters for an unexpected short amount of time, it was accompanied by short film not from Pixar, but rather from the Simpsons, called Playdate with Destiny starring Maggie Simpson. Yep, a Simpson short before a Pixar film.

    Which? "Playdate" or "War Machine"? I actually enjoyed PD more; it's probably James' best movie overall after "Hitch." And mostly because of Ritchson. I thought his was the most unexpectedly delightful comic performance in a buddy/action flick since Ryan Gosling in "The Nice Guys."
