Adam Sandler, David Spade Fake Their Deaths in 'The Do-Over' Red-Band Trailer
By Lamarco McClendon, Variety
Adam Sandler and David Spade fake their own deaths and assume new identities in the first NSFW trailer for the new Netflix original movie The Do-Over.
In the teaser, Charlie (Spade), a bank manager down on his luck, reunites with Max (Sandler), at their 25th high school reunion. While Max appears to be living the good life as an FBI agent, taking Charlie to clubs, on “sexcapades” and boat trips, things take an unexpected turn when Charlie awakens to find that Max faked their deaths and is not who he claimed to be.

Sandler signed a deal with Netflix in late 2014 to star in and produce four movies for the streaming site. The Do-Over marks the second film in the pact following last year’s The Ridiculous Six, which was panned by critics. However, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings and COO Ted Sarandos said during their CES keynote in January that The Ridiculous Six was watched more times in 30 days than any other movie in Netflix history.
