Playdate
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.
Critics Sentiment
CJ rebels against programming by shooting Maddox with crossbow
Armed mercenaries attack the families at Buckee Cheese playground
The film jumps from its lowest point during the poorly executed Buckee Cheese attack to finding its comedic groove in the minivan chase sequence.
Playdate starts awkwardly and stumbles through its opening action, but finds its footing in the middle act when the absurdist humor and Ritchson-James chemistry click. The film peaks during its climactic facility sequence before losing momentum in a rushed ending, creating a polarizing experience that worked for viewers who embraced its 'so stupid it's funny' approach.
