Kevin James and Alan Ritchson go full action in Playdate, trailer out!

Amazon Prime Video's upcoming film Playdate, set to release on November 12, 2025, promises to redefine the buddy comedy genre with a high-octane twist. Directed by Luke Greenfield (Let's Be Cops) and penned by Neil Goldman (Scrubs, Shrinking), the film stars Kevin James and Alan Ritchson in a dynamic pairing that blends slapstick humour with intense action.

The story centres on Brian (Kevin James), a recently unemployed accountant who agrees to a seemingly innocent playdate with Jeff (Alan Ritchson), a charismatic stay-at-home dad. What begins as a casual afternoon with their sons quickly escalates into a chaotic survival adventure when they become targets of a ruthless team of mercenaries. Brian's lack of tactical skills contrasts sharply with Jeff's surprisingly prepared demeanour, creating a comedic yet thrilling dynamic as they navigate one absurd obstacle after another.

The film's ensemble cast includes Sarah Chalke, Alan Tudyk, Stephen Root, and Isla Fisher, each bringing unexpected depth to their roles. Greenfield emphasizes the blend of chaos, humour, and vulnerability, showcasing two fathers learning to step up despite their own flawed upbringings.

With its mix of absurdity, fatherhood antics, and action, Playdate is shaping up to be a surprising fan-favourite on the 2025 movie schedule.

As the release date approaches, audiences can look forward to a film that delivers both laughs and thrills, proving that sometimes, the most unexpected pairings lead to the most entertaining adventures.
