The comedy film Playdate follows two dads, Brian (Kevin James) and Jeff (Alan Ritchson), who get involved in some top-secret spy shenanigans after an assassin invades a pizza place called “Buckee Cheese.” Well, turns out Jeff isn’t really the dad to young CJ (Banks Pierce), and that both are low-key badasses. Brian, meanwhile, is the normal dad just caught up in all the insanity.
Although Kevin James is known for his down-to-earth humor, it looks like Ritchson is going to be the one-liner MVP in this movie. The writer for Playdate is Neil Goldman, a former Family Guy writer, who also penned episodes of Scrubs and Community, along with Garrett Donovan.
