Summaries

Storyline

Starring record-shattering comedian Nate Bargatze in his first feature film, The Breadwinner stars Bargatze as salesman Nate Wilcox and Mandy Moore as his wife, Katie. To Nate and their three children, Katie is the ultimate mom - she manages their comically chaotic household with equal parts efficiency and love, and everything runs perfectly. But when Katie's household invention leads to a once-in-a-lifetime deal on Shark Tank and takes her on a prolonged business trip, Nate has to figure out how to keep the house from (literally) falling apart. He and his kids soon learn that while he may not do it like mom, he can figure out how to do it his way. Welcome to the dad era.

Fun Facts

TriStar bought it before the script was even finished. In November 2024, TriStar Pictures made a preemptive acquisition of Nate Bargatze's pitch while the screenplay was still being written — a rare move for a major studio on an unproduced comedy spec.
