Adam Sandler and David Spade go high concept, lowbrow in 'The Do-Over'
Watch Next

Adam Sandler is a man who's long admitted that the movies he makes in exotic locales are basically excuses to take paid vacations. That said, it looks like his next Netflix project might have more plot than the typical Sandler joint.

This one, The Do-Over, stars David Space as a sad-sack suburban dad whose world is turned upside down when he reconnects with an old high school pal (Sandler) -- who takes him to bumpin' clubs, introduces him to the wonder of threesomes with Luis Guzman, and, oh yeah, fakes both of their deaths so that they'll have a chance to "start over" and live their lives with a blank slate. 

Naturally, it's not long before they're strolling the streets of Havana and shooting mobsters before leaping off cliffs into the ocean.

Wait. Say what?

Anywho, The Do-Over also stars Paula Patton and Kathryn Hahn in (almost certainly) thankless roles and premieres on Netflix May 27. Gird yourselves -- there are still two more Sandler/Netflix movies to come.
