Critics Consensus

A dunderheaded story of mistaken identity, The Do-Over finds Adam Sandler and David Spade retreading old ground -- minus the comedic pep required to enliven the decidedly uninspired proceedings.

The Do-Over, Adam Sandler's second Netflix film, is what happens when a successful artist is given lots of money and very little direction.

.5/4

Typical Adam Sandler fare in every way, from the raunchy humor to the inclusion of his buddies to the deplorable view of women to the vacation disguised as a movie shoot to the forced sentimentality in the final act.

2/5

Surely this movie must be almost over, you think, as you jab the pause button on your remote - only to find you are at the 50-minute mark with another 58 to go.

I'm not even outraged anymore by these movies. I'm just like, "why?"

The Do-Over is a throwback to classic Adam Sandler films and, while ridiculous, is still a fun ride.

This movie is amazing, ignore all the bad reviews. The movie had tons of funny moments, things were relatable, the story was good, there were plot-twists throughout the movie, a must watch!

What even was this? I don’t even know how to review this. Well, I’ll make it short… The writing is sloppy and tries to play it off like it’s being funny but instead it’s really just lacking. It’s not the acting or the story itself that I have an issue with, I think it’s just how random it was. I mean, at points I found myself bored when there wasn’t any action. I don’t really recommend unless you want some funny Adam Sandler scenes.
