The Breadwinner a Winner or Loser?

 The Breadwinner is a family movie starring Nate Bargatze from TriStar Pictures, Wonder Project and Nateland Productions. Bargatze plays Nate Wilcox the Top Selling Toyota salesman based in Nashville Tennessee. This is not surprising since Nate Bargatze is really from the Nashville area in real life and the setting for this movie. Nate’s wife is Kate Wilcox played by Mandy Moore. The movie deals with what if your wife gets an opportunity to start a business and be a very successful entrepreneur after she goes on the show TV hit show Shark Tank with her product for organizing your life. That product is called Star Minder. After Kate gets chosen by Lori Greiner on the show, she gets thrust into this new chapter in business building it away from her family temporarily. What is Nate Wilcox going to do? He becomes the new modern Mr. Mom on steroids with funny chaos ensuing. Nate stays home while Kate develops her business. The Breadwinner is a funny family movie with a believable story that kind of gives me RV movie vibes with Robin Williams crossing with the blueprint approach that Adam Sandler has in his movies. Adam has used his same fellow comedic friends and actors through all his movies. Bargatze has done that in this movie as well. I heard someone comment it is a clean SNL type movie. Why is that you say? Because Sandler used to be on SNL years ago. Nate Bargatze is a clean comedian and surprisingly very good actor and lead actor to boot. The supporting cast of this movie is believable, endearing and made me want to see Nate win and show how he can pull it together as the stories unfold. Can he be everywhere all at once? Of course not. But through out Nate Wilcox’s journey I saw a man who will try to be a good father, a grateful father and saw lessons learned by multiple cast members including him that made me feel it was definitely a movie worth watching and had good clean fun that a whole family can watch together. There is no cursing, no violence and I felt happy when I walked away from the Breadwinner. So who is the Breadwinner? We all can be the Breadwinners with the right teamwork. Was The Breadwinner movie a winner at the Movie Theater? Definite Yes! It is a must watch movie even if only once even if you wait for your home streaming services. I give this movie an 8 out of 10 popcorn bucks.
