Nate Bargatze is heading to the movies, as the beloved stand-up comedian and “Saturday Night Live” host stars in his first-ever feature film.
On Friday, Sony Pictures Entertainment released a brand new trailer for the upcoming family comedy starring Bargatze, titled “The Breadwinner” and releasing next spring. Watch the new trailer below.
In “The Breadwinner,” Bargatze plays a man whose wife (played by “This Is Us” alum Mandy Moore) makes a deal on “Shark Tank” and has to hit the road for a month with her new product. That leaves dear old dad alone with their three daughters. Madness, as you can imagine, ensues.
Based on the trailer, the film appears to be in the tradition of the great studio comedies of the 1980s — particularly 1983’s “Mr. Mom,” which featured a script by John Hughes, with touches of 1986’s “The Money Pit,” starring Tom Hanks, another suburban man in over his head.
“The Breadwinner” also features a terrific supporting cast, with Will Forte, Zach Cherry, Colin Jost, Kumail Nanjiani and Kate Berlant appearing in the comedy film. The film’s screenplay was written by Bargatze and Dan Lagana, who is best known for his work as showrunner of Netflix’s two-season mockumentary “American Vandal.”
The Bargatze-led film was directed by Eric Appel, who last directed “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story.”
In addition to Bargatze and Lagana, “The Breadwinner” is produced by Jeremy Latcham. Executive producers include JoAnn Perritano, Michael Musgrave and Tyler Zacharia.
“The Breadwinner” hits theaters on March 13, 2026.
