Nate Bargatze has developed quite a following over the years. His simple, relatable comedy is always a warm welcome that has created a number of devoted fans. It’s also the inspiration for a new summer comedy.

In The Breadwinner, Bargatze plays a father who is a top car salesman and a master of his craft at work. But when he’s plunged into the domestic duties normally handled by his wife, things go off the rails quickly.

Nate (Bargatze) is the top salesman for the Toyota of Nashville. It’s a title he takes pride in, also enjoying the yearly Titans tickets and a chance to be recognized with his wife, Katie (Mandy Moore), and three girls. He lives a good, simple life. His role is to bring in the funds to support their life, while Katie takes care of pretty much everything else.

Along the way, Katie developed a handy tool—the Starminder—to help her and the girls stay on top of things. It becomes so popular in her community that she’s given a chance to explore making it a business. That leads to an appearance on Shark Tank to get the capital needed to launch the project on a larger scale. She gets an offer—contingent on Nate taking time off to take care of the household while Katie is away. He readily agrees but soon finds out he had no idea what he was in for taking Katie’s place.

Over the span of a month Nate tries—and fails—to fill in at home. He tries to follow Katie’s plan. He tries a plan of his own. All of it leads to more than a few bumps in the road leading to Katie’s big launch.

This is a fun film. If you’re a fan of Bargatze’s stand up, this is going to be in your wheelhouse. But it also works if you haven’t seen him on stage. It’s fun, over the closing credits, to see the pieces of his routines over the years that helped inspire plot points in the film. But the film is a fun ride all its own.

There’s a diverse supporting cast of funny folks that help make it work. Nate’s co-workers are played by Zach Cherry and Kamil Nanjiani, while Will Forte, Colin Jost, and Kate Berlant are among those who help populate the rest of his life and sphere. It’s a great cast that helps bring some dynamic and fun characters to the screen.

But this is really about Bargatze. He has a breezy quality to his screen presence, often selling sequences with just a look or a reaction. He’s at home in this part and in this kind of comedy, selling all the bits and making for a fun time at the movies.

The Breadwinner isn’t deep or complex, but it’s a fun time at the movies. It moves at a good pace, has plenty of jokes, and delivers a fun story in its 100-minute run time. It’s a great night out at the movies for the family.

The Breadwinner is now playing nationwide.
