    Sony expected to make “dough” with their Nate Bargatze comedy THE BREADWINNER but audiences must have chose to “Ciabatta” movie instead. At “yeast” it didn’t cost the studio too much “bread” to make

    The Breadwinner, currently the #3 movie on all of Netflix, contains some of the most egregious product placement I have ever seen in my life. There are actual commercials with less advertising in them than this movie.

    This is fucking me up because there's an actually good movie called The Breadwinner from 2017 based on a book by the same name. It's about an Afghan girl who's forced to pose as a man and provide for her family after the Taliban abduct her father. It's like, basically, the opposite of this

    Worst part about a bad comedy called The Breadwinner? Now I have to tell people when I say I like the movie The Breadwinner, I have to specify it's about the animated film by Cartoon Saloon and that will get annoying fast and the good film has to share the title with the shit film.

    Watched The Breadwinner, an animated movie set in Afghanistan just before the war. A father is arrested for annoying a Taliban enforcer, and without a man of the house, his wife and daughters are forced to starve because they can't legally buy food. All that isn't a side-effect. It's the point.

    When I first saw the trailer I thought: "THAT'S the premise of this movie? 'Mom gets a gig outside the house so dopey Dad's in charge? We're really doing this in 2026?? Really???" The Breadwinner looks like something you'd see being sold for $4 in the bargain bin at Walmart.

    I was reminded of the movie The Breadwinner and it makes me glad that this kind of “lol dads can’t do laundry or cook” gag is outdated and people don’t think it’s funny anymore. It makes me glad I’d probably be a better dad and I never even took home economics as some schools have.

It's a drama film from Irish animation masters @cartoonsaloon.bsky.social and director Nora Twomey about an 11-year-old girl in Afghanistan who dresses as a boy to provide for her family and save her dad after his wrongful arrest.

    My work theater’s showtimes are up…and Mario has finally left. And despite doing well on some weekend showings, The Breadwinner has been reduced to one evening show, which is weird for a family film. Usually, the reduced showtimes are morning ones. It also means Animal Farm did better.
