The Do-Over

The Do-Over is a 2016 American buddy action comedy film directed by Steven Brill, and written by Kevin Barnett and Chris Pappas. The movie follows Charlie (David Spade) and Max (Adam Sandler) after Max fakes their deaths in order to start their lives anew. Things go awry when they discover that the dead men whose identities they have adopted were entangled in criminal activities. Paula Patton, Kathryn Hahn and Luis Guzmán also star.

The film is the second in a four-film deal between Sandler and Netflix. The film was released worldwide on Netflix on May 27, 2016.

Charlie lives in Florida with his materialistic wife, Nikki and her two unpleasant twin sons from her ex husband, Ted-O. He is a bank manager in a supermarket and Nikki is cheating on him with Ted-O. Charlie reunites with his old high school buddy (an FBI agent) Max at a high school reunion. They spend a weekend on a yacht Max rented, and Charlie feels young again.

Max blows up the yacht to fake their deaths. When Charlie comes to, Max tells him they can now both start over. He says he is not an FBI agent, but actually a coroner. This allowed him to use two unclaimed cadavers in their place; Charlie is now Dr. Ronald P. Fishman, and Max is Butch Ryder.

Initially appalled, Charlie soon realises a do over is appealing after witnessing his lackluster funeral, Nikki reconciling with Ted-O and the bank has quickly replaced him. Max tells Charlie that he found a key in Butch's rectum, which Charlie determines belongs to a Puerto Rican safe deposit box.

Traveling to Puerto Rico, the duo access Butch's safe deposit box, which contains money and the keys to a mansion with a Ferrari. They relocate there, befriending and later having an orgy with neighbours Dawn and Joan during which Dawn reveals the original Butch and Ronald bought the mansion in a hurry, implying they were on the run.

They discover Ronald was married after seeing a picture of his wife on Butch's tablet. At the mansion, Max and Charlie are attacked by assassins led by The Gymnast. They escape, and Max admits he's not a coroner, but actually a guidance counselor.

They track down Ronald's widow Heather at her home in Savannah, Georgia. The duo explain that Ronald was murdered and believe Butch got him entangled in criminal activity. Heather discloses that Ronald's study was recently broken into.
