Playdate
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

I’m a London based game and film creator and producer. 2023 saw the release of three games I directed (The Last Worker, its Playdate spin-off Skew & Golden Joystick nominee C-Smash VRS, now also on PS5). Now I’m building new titles at @rapideyemovers.bsky.social.

neutral · AI labelView post →"When people complain about the death of mainstream comedies, it’s bottomfeeding films like Playdate that are the genre’s executioner." My review of PLAYDATE for @avclub.com is ... not kind. At all.

The biggest change is something I could never have done in the original 1.0 release on Playdate: COLOR We went for an early Technicolor ™ film look with our colorization process. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #steam
neutral · AI labelView post →I know this is far from the most important thing happening in the world, but I saw the new Prime Video movie PLAYDATE last night and I just need people to know that Alan Ritchson's peformance in this movie is FULLY UNHINGED. Like, this is just a TASTE.
positive · AI labelView post →While inside the Mountain, I've added a little rim light to the character to make you feel like you're in a movie theater 🍿 #playdate #gamedev
neutral · AI labelView post →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

neutral · AI labelView post →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.
neutral · AI labelView post →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

There’s a better way: preorder Season 3. https://play.date/games/sound-mind/

Two: I enjoyed it TREMENDOUSLY & I have not screeched that hard or ended a movie w a smile that big on my face in a long time 🤣

positive · AI labelView post →The giant man just got a lot of press for his angry, anti-trump rant on a podcast. Alan Ritchson has been in a surprising amount of TV and film. I liked him in Playdate which was a mindless action comedy with Kevin James.

neutral · AI labelView post →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."
positive · AI labelView post →I just read a summary of "Playdate" & DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT SPOILERS FOR THIS MOVIE. I was reading along, thinking, "Okay, sounds goofy but maybe fun," & then I got close to the end.... <SPOILER SPACE> <SPOILER SPACE> At the end, they KILL a bunch of kids? Clones, but still?

positive · AI labelView post →1st Movie: House of Dynamite 3.5/5 ⭐⭐⭐💫 Great cast! Rebecca Ferguson, Idris Elba, Jason Clarke, Anthony Ramos! 2nd Movie: PlayDate 3/5 ⭐⭐⭐ Silly but cute. 😆 But Kevin James will always be Doug Heffron in the Kind of Queens and Alan Ritchson will always be Jack Reacher, lol #Saturday 🎥 🎬 🍿
neutral · AI labelView post →In awe at how bad the new movie Playdate(on Amazon) is. I loved every second. 5 stars.
positive · AI labelView post →Then new Alan Ritchson movie (Playdate) is not the greatest example of cinema or screen writing, but watching Reacher go foul-mouthed hyper-violent competitive against suburban moms, or beating up a horde of children, is worth your time.😂😂😂 Or at the very least, it was worth mine. 😁
positive · AI labelView post →We're gonna waych this movie Playdate with the giant Reacher guy and Kevin James
neutral · AI labelView post →wait, could it work to buy targeted ads for the amazon movie and point them at play.date 👀📈 no shade to the "dadventure" movie crowd but I really think they might appreciate having a Playdate more
neutral · AI labelView post →Accidentally clicked on the (highly dumb looking) trailer for the movie Playdate. That's the most suburban Canadian looking thing that ever suburban Canadian'd. But where? Kitchener? Cambridge? FakeLondon? Nope, Maple Ridge BC. There's something so maddening about how samey suburban Canada is.
