Parents' Guide to Playdate

Parents need to know that comedy Playdate has significant violence, including with children involved, as well as swearing and sex talk. Even though it's played for comedy, violence includes abductions, threats of torture, fights (sometimes with weapons including knives and guns), kids being hurt, car chases, car crashes, explosions. A man is accused of abducting a child, and an Amber Alert is sent out. Adults still suffer the consequences of being abandoned as children. A man describes some of the death and dismemberment he witnessed in war. Swearing includes "f--k," "s--t," "damn," "hell," "bitch," "a--hole," "crap," "butthead," "t-ts," "ball sack," "d--k," and more. Adults smoke cigarettes, drink wine (including at a children's park playdate midday), and mention being high, partying, coke, speed, and ayahuasca. A man mentions he's slept with "thousands and thousands of women," and another boasts he's going to "make love to a woman." Two men catfish another man on dating apps, where they flirt in both subtle and aggressive ways, mentioning "banging" and "smashing." Men find friendship and their footing as fathers in the film.
