Playdate – Streaming on Prime Video

 We all admit we never saw Kevin James and Alan Ritchson teaming up together as a possibility. Toss in Alan Tudyk, and you’ve got yourself one heck of a screwball comedy. On paper, this entire enterprise sounds like it shouldn’t work. But, if you just sit back and enjoy yourself, there’s a lot to like about Playdate. Ritchson really gets to stretch his legs here, and we’re just wondering how we can get him into more fun projects like this.
