The first trailer for Adam Sandler's latest Netflix film has a brand new cameo-filled trailer - and it looks like the project will have the same fate as his previous two films to be released via the streaming service: mauled by critics, watched relentlessly by subscribers.

Sandler - the star of such films as Happy Gilmore, Big Daddy and Grown Ups - has gone full-blown Little Nicky for Sandy Wexler, a film which follows the titular goofy-voiced talent manager as he goes about his days in the mid-90s.

It must be said that for the project, Sandler has called upon an admirable number of Hollywood figures - Chris Rock, Dana Carvey and David Sp[ade all appear in the trailer, as does Conan O'Brien, Penn Jilette and Curb Your Enthusiam's Richard Lewis.

Despite the critical rinsing and dire Rotten Tomatoes scoring of the previous two releases The Ridiculous 6 (0%)and The Do-Over (5%), Netflix is happy with the deal it struck with the actor - especially considering the films both premiered at number one in every single territory around the world.

“The thing that is most global on Netflix is Adam Sandler,” said chief content officer Ted Sarandos.

Directed by Steven Brill, Sandy Wexler co-stars Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson, Kevin James, Terry Crews and, of course, Rob Schneider. It'll be released on 14 April.
