It’s becoming more and more common for people to have serious conversations about what it actually takes to be a stay-at-home parent. Putting someone who has never done any of those aspects of parenting in that role has also been a source of easy jokes for a really long time, but it usually comes with this low-level resentment from one spouse toward the other. The Breadwinner doesn’t appear to be going there, at least, not with the resentment. It’s not that funny that there are dads out there who don’t know where their kids go to school, but this new trailer seems to indicate that while the movie is seeing the humor in this, they are also acknowledging that this is not a good thing. We also have several scenes where Nate talks about how he doesn’t know how his wife managed to do all of this. Comedies like this are very hit or miss at the box office these days, so we’ll have to see how this one does when it hits theaters next month.

The Breadwinner: Summary, Cast List, Release Date

Starring record-shattering comedian Nate Bargatze in his first feature film, The Breadwinner stars Bargatze as salesman Nate Wilcox and Mandy Moore as his wife, Katie. To Nate and their three children, Katie is the ultimate mom – she manages their comically chaotic household with equal parts efficiency and love, and everything runs perfectly. But when Katie’s household invention leads to a once-in-a-lifetime deal on Shark Tank and takes her on a prolonged business trip, Nate has to figure out how to keep the house from (literally) falling apart. He and his kids soon learn that while he may not do it like mom, he can figure out how to do it his way. Welcome to the dad era.

The Breadwinner, directed by Eric Appel, stars Nate Bargatze, Mandy Moore, Colin Jost, Zach Cherry, Martin Herlihy, Kate Berlant, with Kumail Nanjiani, and Will Forte. It will be released in theaters on May 29, 2026
