Directed by Luke Greenfield and written by Neil Goldman, the film stars Kevin James, Alan Ritchson, and Sarah Chalke in an action comedy available on Prime Video starting November 12, 2025.
Brian, a former accountant turned stay-at-home dad, agrees to a playdate with Jeff, whom he met through their children. The meeting takes a turn for the worse when the two men are targeted by a team of mercenaries, triggering a chaotic escape across the city. Brian tries to keep up despite his lack of preparation.
Jeff adopts a strangely experienced attitude in the face of danger, pushing the duo into a series of improvisations to protect their children and understand why they are being pursued.
The project is produced by Luke Greenfield, Jason Benoit, and Sean Patrick O'Reilly, with Alan Ritchson also involved in executive production, according to Amazon Studios. The film is based on a dynamic of comedic action, similar to Greenfield's previous works. Kevin James is known for his comedic roles in film and television, while Alan Ritchson has made a name for himself in the series Reacher. Neil Goldman's screenplay is an action-comedy featuring a contrasting duo.
The film is aimed at audiences looking for fast-paced action, humor based on the contrast between characters, and a plot centered on escape and family protection.
