Um Dia Fora de Controle

I had a lot of fun with this one. It really feels like a bunch of Reacher fans got drunk and started one-upping each other before deciding to actually make the film. It's fast-paced for the most part, though the pacing is a hit and miss at times. Plot holes are rampant, the humor is low brow, but somehow it works. I've watched it with my wife who usually doesn't like movies like this one and she had a blast.

Seriously it's a fun movie to watch, especially if you're a big fan of Kevin James and Alan Ritchson. Just don't go in expecting to see an academy award winning masterpiece.

So if you're one of those people who focus on the tiniest details and expect every movie to be perfect then this isn't for you.

Playdate (2025) is an action buddy comedy movie on Prime Video and it follows a stay-at-home dad accepting a playdate invitation from another stay-at-home dad who turns out to be a loose cannon. I just got done watching the movie and it was really fun.

Positives for Playdate (2025): This movie is exactly what you're getting from a streaming movie. Alan Ritchson and Kevin James are a fun duo and they bounce off each other very well. The comedy and action is done very well. The movie moves at quick pace that is easy to keep up with. And finally, this is a good hangout movie to watch at home on the weekend.

Negatives for Playdate (2025): This movie has a basic enough story that is predictable from the start. The villains aren't interesting and they're not cartoonish. The movie is also basically background noise for other activities that you could be doing. And finally, the movie doesn't have any standout moments to make it memorable.

Overall, Playdate (2025) is a fun enough but standard streaming action comedy movie that gets the job done.

This film is not well made, bad CGI, shaky cam, bad green screens and you can see the camera man in the reflection of a car. However, this film has one purpose make you smile and laugh and it certainly did that. Ritchson and James have great chemistry and have many laugh out loud moments. This may be a generous rating but I had too fun a time watching this to give it any less despite its flaws. Also has great actors in supporting roles which definitely helps.

Saw someone review that this was just absolutely terrible with 1 star - congratulations you were unique today.

This movie is meant to be dumb and I honestly thought it was really funny. I first watched Alan Ritchson in Blue Mountain State and will always remember him as the dude with the micro pen*s in New Girl. Then Reacher came along and I enjoy him in that.

So it was kind of hilarious to see him acting as the best of both those worlds.

This is a movie, not a fact-checking documentary. It's meant to be fun. And it was so stupid that it had me laughing out loud. Yall need to quit being so serious.
