Back in October 2014, comedianAdam Sandlersigned a groundbreaking deal with Netflix to produce and star in four new movies exclusively for the streaming service. The first movie to come out of this deal was the Western comedyThe Ridiculous Six. Last month, we learned that the second movie isThe Do-Over, with the streaming service releasing a brief teaser trailer. Today we have the first full trailer for this comedy, which sheds new light on the story.
InThe Do-Over,Adam Sandlerplays “Max” andDavid Spadeplays “Charlie,” old friends tired of their mundane lives who reunite at their 25thhigh school reunionfor the ultimate mulligan: they decide to wipe the slate clean for a do-over. After faking their deaths and assuming new identities, could their lives be better the second time around? The comedy is set for release on Netflix Friday, May 27, just in time for the Memorial Day weekend holiday.

WhileThe Do-Overwon’t be released in theaters, it will still debut on the same weekend as the highly-anticipated sequelsX-Men: ApocalypseandAlice Through the Looking Glass. Obviously there won’t be any box office figures to compareThe Do-Overwith thesebig summer movies, but it will give comedy fans something to watch over the long weekend.
