The Do-Over.
Bit stupid in parts...of course, it's Sandler.
However, I wouldn't discourage people to watch it.

I used to quite like Sandler. The wedding Singer, The Waterboy, Airheads, Lil Nicky, Mr Deeds, Bulletproof, 8 crazy nights, I thought Reign over Me was actually pretty interesting too.

I never much got into the two that seem to be universally loved by his fanbase Happy Gilmore and Billy Maddison, they just didn't do anything for me.

Though in my mind he's made some really dogshit straight up dumb and unwatchable movies in the later parts of his career. Won't bother mentioning them, but I'll just say the vast majority after 50-first-dates, which I thought was "ok".

This one though?
Maybe it's because he wasn't playing Sandler?
Maybe it's because he wasn't the lead strictly.
For me though, this was the best Adam Sandler film I've seen in some time.
Not really "among his best", true, but a damn site closer to form than most of what I've seen him do in the last decade.

It's on netflix, give it a look with an open mind.
