“We’re going to be such a good team.” Prime Video has revealed the official trailer for an action comedy titled Reading datedirected by Luke Greenfield as his latest sequel to Half-brothers a few years ago. This is slated for a streaming release in November just before Thanksgiving arrives, completely skipping theaters for a streaming-only release. An afternoon of play between two stay-at-home dads (Kevin James And Alan Ritchon) turns into high-stakes mayhem. Director Luke Greenfield (Let’s be cops, girl next door) hilariously confronts life as a suburban dad with thrills, transforming an ordinary afternoon into an absurd, action-packed adventure where minivan mayhem meets professional hitmen. With Ritchson & James, Reading date stars Sarah Chalke, Alan Tudyk, Benjamin Tax, Pierce Banks, Hiro Kanagawawith Stephen Racine And Fisher Island. A fun comedy for dads of all ages. Luckily this isn’t playing in theaters because it looks like a schlock Saturday Night TV special. But it will still make some people laugh.
Here is the main official trailer for the Luke Greenfield comedy Reading datedirectly from Prime Video YouTube:
When Brian (Kevin James), a recently unemployed accountant, agrees to a date with Jeff (Alan Ritchson), a charismatic stay-at-home dad, and their sons, he expects an easy afternoon of chatting and throwing footballs. Instead, he finds himself thrust into a chaotic race to stay alive as they are pursued by a ruthless team of mercenaries. Brian stumbles over one ridiculous obstacle after another, his lousy tactical skills a stark contrast to Jeff’s oddly prepared attitude. The film hilariously confronts life as a suburban dad with thrills, transforming an ordinary afternoon into an absurd, action-packed adventure where minivan chaos meets hitmen. Reading date is directed by the American filmmaker Luke Greenfieldfilm director The Animal, The girl next door, Something borrowed, Let’s be copsAnd Half-brothers previously, as well as some TV work. The screenplay is written by Neil Goldman. Produced by Luke Greenfield, Jason Benoit, Sean Patrick O’Reilly, Mark Fasano, Jeffrey Greenstein.
