The Breadwinner review
The comedian makes an unconvincing bid for movie stardom in a largely unfunny and old-fashioned feature-length sitcom episode
TL;DR
- Nate Bargatze's film debut, 'The Breadwinner,' mirrors the structure and tone of Adam Sandler's mid-career comedies.
- The film centers on Bargatze's character, Nate, a car salesman who becomes a stay-at-home dad, forcing him to confront domestic labor.
- Supporting SNL cast members like Will Forte appear, though only Forte's performance is highlighted as effective.
- The movie attempts to pay tribute to the work of mothers but is criticized for its affluent portrayal and unoriginal humor.
- The film is described as dated, struggling with direction and humor, with the exception of a few specific gags.
