Scrubs star Sarah Chalke has landed her next movie role in Alan Ritchson's new action-comedy Playdate.

Directed by Luke Greenfield from a script written by Neil Goldman, the film centres around a stay-at-home dad who lands in trouble during a playdate (via Deadline).

"The film follows a down-on-his luck man, Brian (Kevin James), who was just fired from his job and becomes an unexpected stay-at-home dad to his 10-year-old son," reads the official logline for the movie.
