His appeal spans across viewers of all ages – – everybody has a favortie movie, everyone has a favorite line – – not just in the U.S. but all over the world.”
Sandler joked on Twitter and Instagram that he was trying to sign up for Netlix, and ended up signing the four-picture deal instead:

The film will be releasing on Netflix and in theaters on August 28, 2015.
