Mandy Moore<\/a> and Nate Bargatze’s new film promises a family comedy, but social media users have already declared it an insult to stay-at-home dads.<\/p>\n

The Breadwinner, slated for a March 2026 release, tells the story of Nate Wilcox, played by Bargatze, 46, and his wife Katie, played by Moore, 41.<\/p>\n

After Katie is offered a business opportunity after appearing on Shark Tank, Nate is tasked with taking care of their three daughters without her help as she goes on a month-long business trip.<\/p>\n

After a new trailer was released, many social media users slammed the ‘tired premise’ and expressed their irritation over the poor representation of stay-at-home fathers.<\/p>\n

‘As a millennial dad, this isn’t it,’ declared one user.<\/p>\n

‘As a dad-of-three, I hate this s**t. Why do we have to s**t on dads in every movie and TV show?’ asked another.<\/p>\n

‘This would\u2019ve slapped in 2006,’ a third sarcastically said.<\/p>\n

‘We\u2019re well past thinking it\u2019s funny to portray all dads as incompetent,’ complained someone else.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I\u2019m sorry, but this is so 50 years ago,’ a sixth user said.<\/p>\n

‘I liked this better when Michael Keaton was in it,’ joked another, referring to the 1983 film Mr. Mom.<\/p>\n

‘Another one bites the dust with a weak script and tired premise,’ declared someone else.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Other people said they hoped it sheds light on how much work motherhood really is.<\/p>\n

‘A lot of people saying this is weaponized incompetence, but I think the underlying main idea is how much moms take care of behind-the-scenes that no one sees,’\u00a0one user wrote. ‘Maybe more dads will realize it after this movie.’<\/p>\n

Will Forte, Colin Jost,\u00a0Kumail Nanjiani, Zach Cherry, Martin Herlihy and Kate Berlant also star in the upcoming film.<\/p>\n

Bargatze is known for his stand-up comedy, but The Breadwinner will be his first feature film. It’s also the comedian’s first project since hosting the Emmy Awards in September, to mixed reviews.<\/a><\/p>\n

Moore’s most recent notable role was in the NBC drama, This Is Us, which she starred in for six seasons.<\/p>\n

Moore has also been in the public eye for her changing appearance, with fans noticing her face seemed slimmer in recent months. Moore pictured in November<\/p>\n

In January, Moore lost her family’s home in Altadena, California, to the devastating LA wildfires.\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

She recently reflected on the challenging year<\/a> in a heartfelt post shared to social media.<\/p>\n

‘It\u2019s been a pretty wild and difficult year, but the top line is definitely overwhelming gratitude,’ Moore wrote.<\/p>\n

Moore has also been in the public eye thanks to her changing appearance, with fans noticing her face seemed slimmer and her makeup style had changed in recent months.<\/p>\n

Instead of the usual soft pinks and nudes that she favors in her usual lipstick shades, Moore went for a bright red lip and a dramatically dark eye and brow.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fans were shocked when the singer stepped out for the Inspiration Awards in Hollywood last month, saying she looked totally different.<\/p>\n

‘I refuse to believe that this is her!’ one person wrote in a comment shared online.<\/p>\n

Another added, ‘It\u2019s not even the signs of aging that surprise me, it\u2019s the fact that this person doesn\u2019t look like Mandy Moore whatsoever.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mandy Moore and Nate Bargatze’s new film promises a family comedy, but social media users have already declared…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":330922,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[97,96,655,95898,2839,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-330921","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-dailymail","tag-entertainment","tag-lifestyle","tag-michael-keaton","tag-movies","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/330921","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=330921"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/330921\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/330922"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=330921"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=330921"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=330921"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
