The Breadwinner (2026)


I'm not sure where the hell Nate Bargatze came from, but the world really likes telling us he's all of a sudden somehow the highest grossing stand-up comedian in America. Marketed as a clean comic to broaden his fanbase, he comes across as a likeable everyman, in a milquetoast kind of way. This is a very old fashioned kind of family comedy (à la Mr. Mom) where the father has to step up and take on the role of house husband after his wife is offered a huge business opportunity. It's completely generic, inoffensive and full of product placement to remind you he's being sponsored by all the big brands.
