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.

While Nimona has been the big Netflix original animated film of the summer, it's far from the only addition to the lineup. Netflix is making sure that animation fans are well served in August with the first two Despicable Me movies, Bee Movie, and Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2. However, Netflix's biggest recent addition is one of 2022's biggest animated hits: DreamWorks' Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.

Netflix's deals with Sony Pictures Animation, DreamWorks Animation, and Universal Pictures have given it a powerhouse library of animated films. And that's before we even get into Netflix's impressive originals like The Sea Beast. To help you keep track of what's new and what you can stream right now, we've updated our list of the best animated movies on Netflix.

From Barbarella to Howard the Duck: the 7 cheesiest sci-fi movies ever

The science-fiction genre has a vast smorgasbord of cheesy films stretching way back to the early days of cinema. Such pictures are known for their weird stories, unrealistic dialogue, low-budget productions, and exaggerated acting.

While many of these films have been panned by critics and audiences alike, some of them have garnered success for being "so bad, they're good." Whether or not they have been held up by a dedicated fan base, these seven movies stand out as the cream of the cheesy sci-fi crop.

10 best Batman stories ever, ranked
Batman Year One cover

Bounding from rooftop to rooftop, the Dark Knight never misses his mark. He operates like a well-oiled machine tracking bad guys, beating them to a bloody pulp, and throwing them in the slammer - or Arkham Asylum should they be anyone of Gotham's notable supervillains. As the brainchild of Bob Kane and Bill Finger, an artist and writer duo, Batman has been pounding the pavement of Gotham ever since his debut in Detective Comics in 1939. He's undergone a number of changes since his original conception ultimately becoming the brooding powerhouse we know today.

Most understand the basic tenants of Batman these days. His parents were murdered before his young eyes leading him down this path of personal vindication and pursuit of justice. Batman, in most iterations, never resorts to killing -- the one crime that separates his outlaw vigilante operations from the real criminals. Of course, it wasn't always that way. In Batman's earliest days, he had no qualms about ending the lives of baddies on the streets. Even now, some stories and films like Tim Burton's gothic take on the character depict him looking on with cold and uncaring glares as criminals meet their end. Regardless, Batman is mostly a well-established hero simply seeking justice and there are countless stories of the Caped Crusader. Let's take a look at the best among them.
