AceShowbiz - TriStar Pictures has released the trailer for The Breadwinner, a family comedy that marks the first leading film role for comedian Nate Bargatze.
Directed by Eric Appel, known for his work on Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, the film features Mandy Moore as Katie, the supportive wife of Bargatze’s character. Katie secures a deal on Shark Tank, which prompts the lifelong breadwinner of the family to transition into a stay-at-home dad role.
This new dynamic quickly overwhelms him as he faces the challenges of domestic life. The couple’s children, portrayed by Stella Grace Fitzgerald, Birdie Borria, and Charlotte Ann Tucker, show little faith in their dad’s abilities from the start. One child even exclaims, “We’re all going to die.”
The Breadwinner explores themes of family roles and the humorous struggles of adjusting to unexpected changes in life. With its comedic tone and heartfelt moments, the film offers a fresh take on family dynamics through the lens of a man learning to manage a household.
The trailer highlights the comedic tension and warmth between the characters, setting the stage for what promises to be an engaging and relatable story centered around Nate Bargatze’s debut as a lead actor in a feature film.
