Playdate

Brian is an out of work accountant who teams up with his buddy Jeff, a stay at home dad, for a playdate with their sons. What seems like a low key afternoon quickly turns into a wild scramble. Instead of balloons and kid friendly games, the pair finds themselves pursued by mercenaries and drawn into a cascade of comic obstacles. Brian, who isn't used to action, has to think on his feet and keep the kids safe while chaos erupts around them. The plan for a simple, peaceful afternoon becomes a test of nerves, quick wits, and teamwork under pressure. No one gets bored as the situation escalates. Brian and Jeff must improvise in a world where every playground swing could be a trap.

Directed by Luke Greenfield, Playdate pairs Kevin James as Brian with Alan Ritchson and Sarah Chalke in a high energy family action comedy. The project comes from creator Neil Goldman, offering a brisk, kid friendly blend of humor and danger.
