Adam Sandler and Netflix have been working together for almost a decade, but the fruits of their long-running partnership have been almost universally bad. In fact, the actor’s first original movie to land on the streaming service, 2015's The Ridiculous 6, earned a very rare 0% score on the review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes.
So I’m pleasantly shocked that the new trailer for Sandler’s latest Netflix project looks very promising. The movie is called Spaceman, and it will see the popular comedic actor swap his usual slapstick potty humor for a more serious role, and as cinephiles will tell you, when Sandler takes a break from fart jokes, he’s actually an extremely capable dramatic actor.
