You won't forget Alan Ritchson. If he can make crap entertaining, imagine him in a comedic role with a much better script Read full review

Nearly everything Ritchson and James do in the name of comedy is forced and untethered from reality. Then again, so is the movie, so at least it's consistent. Read full review

Playdate is perfectly awful, glib in its violence, cavalier about “collateral damage” and packed with what regular family movie watchers might call “Hollywood parenting” — kids who curse, bully and have zero respect for sportsmanship and adults, especially parents. Read full review

No one escapes from this mess looking good, although to his credit, Ritchson is at least giving it a titanic effort. Read full review

When people complain about the death of mainstream comedies, it’s bottomfeeding films like Playdate that are the genre’s executioner. No energy, no wit, just a tasteless and tacky sequence of events that barely manages to clear the bar for what’s still considered a movie. Read full review
