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.

Blade: Trinity nearly killed Marvel movies. As it turns 20, we look back at what went wrong
The cast of Blade: Trinity.

Although X-Men and Spider-Man are widely credited with starting the modern comic-book movie boom in 2000 and 2002, respectively, there's an argument to be made that it was actually the original Blade movie in 1998 that got the ball rolling. Superhero movie fans don't know how good they have it now because there was a time when Marvel couldn't get a decent movie out of any of its franchises. Case in point: The Punisher movie starring Dolph Lundgren and the infamous Howard the Duck.

Blade was a game-changer in that it took a little-known Marvel anti-hero, placed Wesley Snipes in the title role and delivered a fun action flick. Stephen Norrington helmed the first film, and Guillermo del Toro stepped in to direct the sequel, Blade II, which was an even bigger success.

If you have to watch one Amazon Prime Video movie in December 2024, stream this one
Tom Hanks in Road to Perdition.

If you're looking for holiday merriment this month, you should check out the best Christmas movies on Amazon Prime Video. When it came time to pick the one Amazon Prime Video that you have to watch in December, however, we decided to go with something decidedly less cheery. Our selection for December 2024 is Road to Perdition, a 2002 crime drama directed by Sam Mendes (Skyfall) from a script by David Self.

The movie is based on the 1998 graphic novel Road to Perdition by Max Allan Collins and artist Richard Piers Rayner. Despite having a future Superman in the cast, it's completely unlike most comic book movies. Road to Perdition arrived in theaters during the same era as American Splendor and Ghost World, two other unconventional comics that would be hard-pressed to get their own movies in the franchise-obsessed Hollywood of 2024. While Road to Perdition has come and gone from Prime Video several times before, it deserves the spotlight this month because the film still isn't widely regarded as the modern classic that it is.
