The Do-Over
Release year: 2016
My Rating: ★★ out of 5
Tagline: Dying was their first mistake.
Synopsis: The life of a bank manager is turned upside down when a friend from his past manipulates him into faking his own death and taking off on an adventure.
What do y'all expect me to say. It's the same kinda movie I've seen a million times already.
The Do-Over is not a great movie. It's not one of the worst either. This one fits the same type of quality you get in Pixels, Grown Ups, Grown Ups 2, Blended, Just Go With It, That's My Boy. It was at this point watching, a lot of these movies start to blend together. BLENDING!
Oh wait, wrong movie. This is one where you probably will just have a puzzled face on the whole time. The plot is very weird and complex especially for a Sandler movie. That doesn't make it better, it just feels like a movie you struggle to have a grasp on what is going on.
Does anything in this movie stick out to me? I feel like I just have bits and pieces that form in my brain that probably could give you a good image of the movie quality. I think there was something about nipple electrocution. I think there was a twist villain. I think Luis Guzmán was gay and had very saggy balls that they showed on screen. I don't know man.
Don't watch this movie. Or do, I don't care. Maybe I was getting a bit burnt out at this point watching Sandler movies. This is December 7th, 2022 and we still had 10 movies left. Kosuke yesterday called this the "slop era", and that couldn't be more accurate. I think whenever Sandler switched to Netflix, all the care he had left for his movies just vanished. Here's hoping tomorrow's is better.
