Back in 2014, Netflix struck a deal with Adam Sandler to have the Billy Madison star produce and feature in four films. The first of those was "The Ridiculous 6," which has the dubious distinction of holding a zero percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Above you can see the trailer for Sandler's follow up film, "The Do-Over" (warning, it's NSFW). In it, he'll be playing a supporting role to Joe Dirt himself, David Spade.

It's hard for most people to get excited about a Sandler film in 2016, but it looks considerably better than "The Ridiculous 6." Then again, that's not saying much, because, you know, zero percent.

Regardless of critical reception, the famed comic is big business for Netflix. The streaming service's chief content officer Ted Sarandos said at CES this year that "The Ridiculous 6" was "the most watched movie in the history of Netflix" in its first 30 days of availability.
