Netflix has released the first trailer and photo forThe Week Of, which reunites comedy superstars Adam Sandler andChris Rock. This movie marks their sixth collaboration together, following 2003’sPauly Shore is Dead, 2005’sThe Longest Yardremake, 2008’sYou Don’t Mess With the Zohan, 2010’sGrown Upsand 2013’sGrown Ups 2. This movie also marks the fourth of Adam Sandler’s original four-movie deal with Netflix that he signed back in 2014, followingThe Ridiculous Six,The Do-OverandSandy Wexler.
This Netflix comedy won’t be the end of their deal withAdam Sandler, though, with the comedian signing on for four more movies with Netflix. The streaming service claimed in a statement from last March that the first two movies of their Adam Sandler deal, the ensemble Western comedyThe Ridiculous Sixand the action-comedyThe Do-Over, which reunitedSandler and David Spade, were the “biggest film releases” for Netflix, although they still have not released any viewing data. The first three movies of the Netflix deal were all very different types of comedy, with this fourth movie exploring the family comedy genre.
The comedy tells the story oftwo fathers who are polar opposites(Adam Sandler and Chris Rock) and the dysfunctional hilarity that ensues when their families come together to celebrate the wedding of their children. They are forced to spend the longest week of their lives together and the big day could not come soon enough, as everything that could go wrong, does. Watch the hilarious hijinks as the two attempt to keep everything afloat, while dealing with their families…and each other. Before they get to the big day, they have to go through a long week.
The supporting cast includes Rachel Dratch and Melanie Nichols-King as the wives of Adam Sandler and Chris Rock, Allison Strong and Roland Buck III as the bride and groom, along with Rob Morgan, Scott Cohen, Patricia Belcher and Steve Buscemi. The film is directed by Robert Smigel and co-written by Smigel and Adam Sandler. The comedy is produced by Happy Madison Productions with Adam Sandler and Allen Covert serving as producers and Barry Bernardi and Tim Herlihy serving as executive producers. The film willpremiere globally on Netflix on June 17, 2025.
While the movie won’t open in theaters, it will debut on Netflix the same date that the Lionsgate thrillerTraffikand an untitled animated project from Entertainment Studios debuts. While the last weekend of the year is often one of the worst at the box office, that could very well be an advantage for thisNetflixcomedy. Take a look at the trailer and photo below as we start the countdown toThe Week Of.
