“She makes it look so easy! This has been the hardest I’ve ever worked in my life!” Sure it is. Let the dad era begin. Sony Pictures has unveiled a fun second trailer for the summer comedy The Breadwinner, a family adventure directed by Eric Appel (of Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, Die Hart) and starring comedian Nate Bargatze in his first ever feature film. It was originally set to open earlier in the year but they shifted this to release in May now to capture the big summer audience – expect this to be a huge fun-for-the-whole-family hit. It’s about a dad trying to navigate his sudden time as a stay-at-home dad when his wife leaves for work. One dad. Three kids. Zero clue. A supermom lands a Shark Tank deal, switching roles with her breadwinner husband. He struggles to adapt as a stay-at-home dad to their three daughters. “Nate finds out quickly that running the household is the toughest gig he’s ever had.” Nate Bargatze stars as Dad along with Mandy Moore, Colin Jost, Zach Cherry, Martin Herlihy, Kate Berlant, with Kumail Nanjiani and Will Forte. This looks like it’s going to be hilarious and wholesome – just the right kind of summer fun we need.
Here’s the second trailer for Eric Appel’s dad comedy The Breadwinner, direct from Sony’s YouTube:
