Leo’s First Trailer Casts Adam Sandler As A Wise, Talking Lizard & Looks Adorable

«Leo» will be Adam Sandler’s 9th collaboration with Netflix as a part of the actor’s deal that was extended back in 2020. Shortly before that, Sandler scored big with the Netflix original «You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah,» where he plays a supporting role alongside his real-life daughters Sunny and Sadie Sandler — and the film ended up earning one of the highest Rotten Tomatoes scores in his career. 

Over the years, the beloved comedic actor, writer, and producer has worked on a solid selection of projects for the streamer, like «Murder Mystery» and its sequel with Jennifer Aniston, the family holiday favorite «Hubie Halloween,» the basketball drama «Hustle,» and the parody film «The Ridiculous 6.» On the heels of «You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah,» it seems like «Leo» will be another film that’s fun for the whole family. The story promises to be heartfelt, with the elderly Leo becoming an unconventional mentor who helps the young students live life to the fullest, build confidence, and realize their dreams. Hopefully, it strikes the right balance between comedy and emotion, providing viewers with a memorable experience. In the past, Sandler has delivered compelling performances when he has great material, so fingers crossed «Leo» is another winner for the actor.

«Leo» hits Netflix on November 21, 2023.
