Playdate Movie Cast, Plot and Everything to Know

Plot

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 an easy afternoon of small talk and football tossing. Instead, he's thrust into a chaotic scramble to stay alive as they are pursued by a ruthless team of mercenaries. Brian stumbles through one ridiculous obstacle after another, his zero tactical skills a stark contrast to Jeff's oddly prepared demeanor. The movie hilariously collides suburban dad life with high-stakes thrills, transforming a regular afternoon into an absurd action-packed adventure where minivan mayhem meets hitmen.
