This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Adam Sandler really toned down his usual annoying arrogance for this movie, and it worked! Apart from some very confusing plot developments, David Spade and Adam Sandler really work well together. My favourite scene was were the flare gun was shot at the women laughing at David Spade's small weener... yeah, just watch it. All in all, much better than Sandler's previous 5 or 6 movies to be honest. The movie did drag on a bit, as it seems all of the best material was reserved for the first 30 minutes. This movie is perfect for Netflix.… Expand

It goes without saying that Adam Sandler is guilty of putting out some low quality movies in the recent years, but this is not one of them. It is becoming painfully obvious that hating Adam Sandler is a trend that needs to stop. I feel thatIt goes without saying that Adam Sandler is guilty of putting out some low quality movies in the recent years, but this is not one of them. It is becoming painfully obvious that hating Adam Sandler is a trend that needs to stop. I feel that the majority of these negative reviewers went into watching the movie wanting it to be terrible and it just wasn't. This movie does not deserve the low rating people are giving it, and it's detracting people from seeing a good movie. Reviewers also need to stop cutting comedies into a million pieces like they're meant to be some elaborate piece of art. It's a comedy!!

Onto the movie:

A friend and I decided to watch a movie out of boredom and chose The Do-Over on Netflix, mainly because it was the first option and not because we're Adam Sandler fans. Within a few minutes of the movie starting, we were glad to have put it on. The movie was refreshing and outside of Adam Sandler's norm. We found it well written, the story line was interesting, and it made us laugh many times.

For the movie type it was, it did what it was supposed to and we found it very entertaining. It is difficult for me to sit through an entire movie, but not with this one. In fact, I showed it to my fiance later that day (who loved the movie as well) and sat through it again no problem. The first thing my friend did after the movie ended was call his wife and told her to watch it, and she also thought it was great.

This Adam Sandler hate needs to stop fueling bad reviews. This is a good movie and if you don't think so, you shouldn't be reviewing movies. Every person I know who has watched it thinks it's great and immediately recommends their friends/family to watch it.… Expand

One of those rare R-rated Sandler outings. There are some typical Sandler gags here that will still elicit laughs from his fans.

There are some typical Sandler gags here that will still elicit laughs from his fans. Despite the added F-bombs and raunchiness, this isn't anything too far out of the Happy Madison wheelhouse. Good news for fans, bad news for just about everyone else.

It's no secret that Sandler movies have definitely begun to resonate just as well with audiences as they always have with critics. This one isn't going to change any of that. What works with it is that it isn't quite as lazy as some of Happy Madison's latest efforts. For starters Sandler actually seems to be having some fun here. It's clear that in some of his more recent efforts he is unmotivated and just there for the money. Here we get some life from him which is good.

The problems with the movie lie in two areas. Three if you aren't the type who enjoys the sense of humor Sandler movies contain. The first is that it occasionally goes overboard with the freedom R-rated movies allow for. It never quite reaches the level of nastiness That's My Boy achieved, but there are still moments completely out of good taste. So much so that it gets in the way of the humor.

The other issue is that there's quite a bit of misogyny on display. The movie either treats women like objects. When they aren't meant to be screwed by the characters, they're meant to stab them in the back. Its shallow and another big flaw with the Sandler style.

So is the movie garbage? Technically. But it's the type of garbage that can still brings laughs. It's a Sandler movie. Not his brightest moment, but it will still please fans. Some extra added effort some Sandler, David Spade sharing the spotlight, and a so-so attempt at a more action-comedy plot do help it stand out from the rest of Sandler's offerings. It's not high art, but it's still pretty funny.… Expand

Not too shabby.It's worth watching once or twice but after that you'll probably forget about it. As an Adam Sandler movie it's definitely one of his better ones since Happy Gilmore. Watch it if your a fan of Sandler and Spades past films.

Adam Sandler and David Spade; of course I'm gonna check it out despite Sandler's latter day record for not-so-good movies. Having said that, this one was pretty damn funny.

this is the best adam sandler movie since a lot time. We must promote this type of movie and not the garbage movies like Pixels. I know this movie doesn`t deserve a 10 but less than 5!!! No way!!

Reborn to face even bigger troubles.

It's true that Sandler had lost his Midas touch, but last few films suggest he's back. Still, he's not the same old what he used to be. The time has changed, so he has to adapt to it and I think he'sReborn to face even bigger troubles.

It's true that Sandler had lost his Midas touch, but last few films suggest he's back. Still, he's not the same old what he used to be. The time has changed, so he has to adapt to it and I think he's doing okay. Only haters/film critics keep hating him. This is a Netflix production and Sandler in a mysterious role. He teams up with his old school friend and they fake their deaths to begin a new life. But the identities they have borrowed ones are even in the bigger troubles which begins to haunt them as well. So coming out of it is the remaining film to tell.

The storyline seems just okay. Since it is not fresh enough, they did not even overuse the concept to build plot with clichés. Kind of guessable twists, but it will work for most of the people. Better stunt sequences for such a comedy flick. Good performances and it was a smooth sail according to the film's pace. The director and Sandler had given a few good comedies back then, and this fresh collaboration was decent. So don't believe the film critics (Rotten Tomatoes & Metacritic), elsewhere it is rated much better, but still somewhat underrated. If you are seeking a decent action-comedy, this is worth a try.
