Kevin James and Christina Ricci’s “Guns Up” movie has found its streaming home, months after the action comedy film’s theatrical and PVOD release this past summer.

Paramount+ exclusively confirmed to TheWrap that the James, Ricci-led flick will premiere on its streamer on Dec. 1.

“On the verge of leaving ‘The Family’ to make his dream of opening a diner with his wife Alice (Ricci) a reality, Ray’s ‘one last job’ takes a disastrous turn,” the description continues. “With his plans unraveling and the mob closing in, Ray scrambles to protect his family and find a way out, all while navigating the darkly funny absurdity of the criminal world he’s desperate to escape.”
