Trailer Tease: Dad Takes Over
The new trailer for The Breadwinner just dropped, and it’s a delightful mess in the best way. Picture one very competent mom, a sudden business break, and a dad who’s left to steer a house that was previously run like clockwork — with the occasional pratfall and a lot of heart.
What the Movie Is About
When Katie’s home-invention scores her a big opportunity, she has to hit the road for work. That leaves Nate — the well-meaning, slightly overwhelmed dad — in charge of three daughters and a home that seems determined to rebel. The chaos is constant, the problems are loud, and the solutions are mostly improvised. It’s less about perfection and more about a family figuring out how to survive (and laugh) when routine goes out the window.
Who’s Behind the Laughs
Director Eric Appel, who made waves with his offbeat comedy work, steers this ship. The script comes from Dan Lagana and stand-up comic Nate Bargatze, so expect a blend of sharp jokes and relatable parenting moments. The film is produced by TriStar Pictures and Wonder Project — in other words, it’s got the studio polish and the indie heart.
Why This One Lands
The trailer sells a simple but satisfying promise: family comedy that’s equal parts chaos and warmth. The jokes are physical and situational, the daughters are clearly charming, and Nate’s attempts to emulate Mom (and fail adorably) make for solid character beats. It’s the kind of movie that leans into real-life parenting absurdity instead of polishing it away.
Release Info & Where to Watch the Trailer
The Breadwinner arrives in U.S. theaters on May 29. No word yet on a Spain release. If you want to see the trailer now, it’s available on Dailymotion and in the Trailers and Movie Videos section of our site.
Bottom Line
If you like family comedies with messy stakes, genuine warmth, and a dad who learns to do things in his own gloriously imperfect way, this one should be on your radar. Consider this your friendly warning: bring snacks, because parenting is rarely a smooth ride — and apparently neither is this house.
