"When these fine people came to me with an offer to make four movies for them, I immediately said yes for one reason and one reason only...Netflix rhymes with Wet Chicks," Sandler said in a statement. "Let the streaming begin!!!!"

The comedians movies cost on average $80 million and have an incredible following. Therefore, this partnership seems in good hands.
