| Proof Sandler can make great movies (by lusciousmuffins) |
| Not sure what happened to Adam Sandler recently because his movies when from really funny to painfully bad. Consequently, I clicked on "The Do-Over" with more than a bit of trepidation. Still, it had a decent number of stars and the best part about Netflix is being able to stop watching as you see fit. Well, surprise! surprise! I ended up being very glad I took a chance on this flick.No, this is not the next Citizen Kane, but if you are looking for a feel good comedy, then you owe it to yourself to watch it. I confess that the inclusion of David Spade also was a huge plus for me, <more> |
| Awesome comedy, plain & simple (by fakebook-81761) |
| Made me laugh all morning. Sandler has peaked in my eyes, finally. Looks better, acts better and David Spade is brilliant as usual. Loved it and can highly recommend it to all who appreciates movies such as All about Mary, Dumb & dumber, Arrested development, Modern family and those kind of flicks & shows. Beautiful scenery with lots of cool boats and sunshine, good balance between action and jokes. The plot seemed a bit lame but they sure made everything work. Sandler is supposed to be on of the most over paid actors in the industry and until this morning I was inclined to agree. But <more> |
| Loved it, Was seriously surprised by how good it was (by coonshep) |
| So i knew the movie would be at least somewhat funny. David spade and sandler both make good comedies. This however surprised me. There were so many moments where I was on the edge of my seat laughing. There were some pretty hilarious parts. I watched it with some friends and we all thought it was one of his best movies. The Do Over is defiantly his best recent movie. Maybe this will be a trend of good movies. You seriously have to have no since of humor to not find this movie to be funny. This is the kind of stuff he should be putting in theaters. I bet this one would have been a box office <more> |
| Adam Sanlder Is Back!! (by darrenbraithwaite) |
| For a movie that was expecting to be as bad or even worst than the ridiculous 6 that came out in February I was highly surprised on how good this movie actually was. the movie is about Adam Sanlder and David spade that fake their death due to the life's being awful, but there's a twist the they change there identity to people that have died but unfortunately for them they are the most FBI wanted in America David spade doesn't know why yet but Sandler secretly does, so they are hunted down by serial killer because they want the secret formal the movie plays thriller, comedy and <more> |
| Adam drives this movie. Spade keeps it relatable. It is so good to see these two back in action. Action packed, exciting and unexpected. (by kpwwhit) |

| Sandler back? (by earnyandberney) |
| This movie I was expecting to be as bad if not worse than The Ridiculous 6 which I couldn't even finish, but I was pleasantly surprised with The Do Over. The movie has a good amount of laughs, and at some points kept me on the edge of my seat. I think that this is one of Sandler's best movies within the past 6 years. I was also very happy with David Spade's performance. I was expecting him to be just like he was in Grown Ups, as a stupid immature old man, but he surprised me as well. He kept the movie funny as well as maintained great acting the entire movie, as well as the whole <more> |
| Pleasantly Surprised (by heidi-717-706300) |
| I am a fan of older Adam Sandler movies Billy Maddison, Happy Gilmore, and old SNL with Farley . Everyone knows Sandler has done some terrible stuff in the past while, but this one wasn't the worst.He wasn't terribly over the top or in your face like he is in roles for films like Zohan, That's my Boy, Jack & Jill. This film had genuinely laugh-out-loud moments; the cast really helps Kathryn Hahn, Matt Walsh - even David Spade is funny! The movie isn't a classic. It isn't going to be one you're quoting. The film is enjoyable! If you're looking for a laugh, <more> |
| Best Sandler movie in years! (by fxdx4) |
| 20 years ago, a movie starring Adam Sandler, Catherine Bell and David Spade would be plastered all over billboards and the trailer would be shown 50 times during an episode of Saturday Night Live. Well, fast forward 2 decades and it is basically the same movie – a movie from a decade where Adam Sander made funny movies and David Spade was a star Catherine Bell, maybe the best actor of the cast really only has a cameo, so we can ignore her . However I was only told about this film from a friend, and I had no interest in it until he said it was good. So the story has Spade I won't use <more> |
