Sandler, Spade up to NSFW shenanigans in Netflix’s final ‘The Do-Over’ trailer


The wait for The Do-Over, Netflix’s upcoming comedy starring Adam Sandler and David Spade, is almost over, and the streamer has given fans a little something to get through the homestretch: the final trailer. Like the previews before it, it is definitely NSFW (Not Safe For Work), thanks to its liberal use of profanity and raunchy humor.

The trailer again brings us to the Class of 1991’s reunion, where Charlie (played by Spade) gets a blast from his past — and then some — thanks to a run-in with Max (Sandler). Charlie’s former friend is sympathetic to his discontent with his life, which involves an unhappy marriage and an unsatisfying job.

“Let Maxi-Pad soak up your pain,” says Sandler’s character in an oh-so charming offer of help.

Charlie quickly realizes that Max’s form of assistance is just a wee bit unorthodox, but his discovery only comes after he wakes up tied to a bed. (Obviously, that’s how you break the news to your friend that you’ve faked both of your deaths; otherwise, they might freak out.) His and Max’s problems soon get bigger, though. It turns out that they’ve made enemies with dangerous guys connected to the two men whose identities they’ve assumed.

Thanks to the new preview, we get to learn more about other key players as well. Heather (Paula Patton), the wife of the man Spade is impersonating, gets roped into the madness, while Becca (Kathryn Hahn) seems to insert herself into it by spying on them. Even Max’s mom (Renee Taylor) somehow gets involved.

The second in Sandler’s four-movie deal with NetflixThe Do-Over looks sure to entertain the comedian’s legion of fans. After all, there seems to be no lack absurd situations, action, and dirty jokes as Max and Charlie go about their crazy ride.

The Do-Over premieres Friday on Netflix.

Adam Sandler discovers an NBA prospect in Hustle’s trailer
Juancho Hernangomez and Adam Sandler in Hustle.

There are a lot of Adam Sandler comedies on Netflix -- perhaps too many. That's because Sandler signed a development deal with Netflix long before many of his fellow stars did. And this summer, Sandler is making a rare detour into drama with Hustle, a new Netflix original movie he produced alongside NBA superstar, LeBron James.

Within the film, Sandler plays Stanley Sugerman, an international talent scout for the Philadelphia 76ers. It's a dead-end job for someone who has aspirations of becoming an NBA coach someday. At least until Stanley comes across the prospect of a lifetime: Bo Cruz. Appropriately enough, Bo is portrayed by an actual NBA player: Juancho Hernangómez of the Utah Jazz.

To quote a notorious line from a James Bond movie, "Christmas comes but once a year." Since that's the case, you better have something fun planned, or the holidays can quickly turn sour. You could watch a football game or go to the movie theater, but why bother with all that hassle when Netflix is just sitting right there?

The streamer has plenty of movies available, especially Christmas-themed ones. But the following list doesn't include such recent films as Hot Frosty or The Merry Gentlemen. Instead, these five movies are all guaranteed crowd-pleasers, even if they don't explicitly involve the holiday.

'Tis the season for watching movies. It's a great opportunity to watch a movie since many of us will be off during the holiday season. There are so many Christmas movies to choose from that it can be overwhelming. Family-friendly classics like Elf, Home Alone, and A Christmas Story never go out of style. Rom-coms like Love Actually and The Holiday always play well this time of year.

There are significantly fewer Christmas dramas than the two categories mentioned above. However, the dramas that are available to stream are worth watching. Our picks for drama movies to watch on Christmas include a famous psychological drama from a master, an iconic adaptation of a novel, and a Netflix romance.
