The most violent children’s entertainment since “The Silence of the Lambs” stars Kevin James, features Isla Fisher as leader of a hard-drinking “gang” of soccer moms and gives the inventive character player Alan Tudyck his best shot at impersonating and mocking Elon Musk.

Which is to say “Playdate” is perfectly awful, glib in its violence, cavalier about “collateral damage” and packed with what regular family movie watchers might call “Hollywood parenting” — kids who curse, bully and have zero respect for sportsmanship and adults, especially parents.

But the producer of TV’s “Scrubs” scripted it and the director of “Let’s Be Cops” started every day on location with a perverse “Let’s GO there!” So there are a few sick, twisted and “Oh no they DIDN’T” laughs.

And no, these two — Neil Goldman and Luke Greenfield — should never be allowed anywhere near anything that could be called a “family” movie. Ever.

Kevin James stars as Brian, a nebbish of a “forensic accountant” who married Emily (Sarah Chalke of “Scrubs”) and took on “dad” duties with her tween son, Lucas (Benjamin Pajak).

The kid’s no good at sports, and his musical theater tendencies are a subject of fun. Hey now…

When Brian loses his gig at a family owned accounting firm inherited by douche bros and hos (one played by Greenfield), he becomes the stay-at-home-Dad. A day at the park is how he meets the “Mom Mafia” and hard-drinking, “Bitch” slinging/”windbreaker” insulting Leslie (Fisher), and how he sees how he measures up as a dad by watching Jeff, a walking muscle who doesn’t so much toss the football as fire artillery rounds at his son.

Jeff is played by Alan Ritchson of TV’s “Reacher” like a muscular actor liberated from playing tough and serious, or maybe one who’s just had his first taste of coke or amphetimines. Dude is WOUND up.

As butch and bonding-happy as Honda Odyssey (the best sport maternity vehicle) driver Jeff seems, he’s just off. A LOT off. He talks a gonzo fathering game, but the kid seems indifferent to his presence. CJ is on-the-spectrum weird, which is why dance-happy Lucas bonds with him.

Next thing newly-nicknamed “Bri-Bri” knows, he and Lucas are on the lam, on the run and on the road with Jeff and CJ (Banks Pierce) as they flee the mysterious minions of a tech tycoon (Tudyck), brawling in a “Buckee Cheese’s,” dodging bullets in parking lots and outrunning black SUVs in their turns-out-to-be-stolen Odyssey.

What’s the deal here? Yes, the answer is far out, and stupidly predictable.

Ritchson, channeling John Cena and Dave Bautista, just goes for it in scene after scene, a dope on some sort of adrenlin bender, “rescuing” this kid, “like the ‘Yellowstone’ guy from ‘The Bodyguard,’ only BADASS.”

The fun players are Ritchson and Fisher, only Fisher has her two scenes and vanishes after scoring a couple of laughs,. Characters played by Walter Hauser and Stephen Root are introduced and abandoned without a scripted thought of making them funny. And Tudyck, dropping “bitch” insults like the other 11 year-olds, doesn’t have much to play.

James? He shows up, but he emptied his bag of tricks years ago.

The final edit included a whole TV season’s worth of musical needle-drops — chases set to “Gimme Some Loving,” with “Carmina Burana” and Wagner and “Stuck in the Middle” and KC & the Sunshine Band and Nilsson and Ice Cube’s greatest hits thrown in. That’s a dead giveaway that the distributor knows this dog isn’t getting by without a LOT of purchased music rights.

It doesn’t help. Nothing does.
