Netflix debuted the trailer for Sandler's first movie, "The Ridiculous 6," Tuesday and it looks, well, ridiculous.

The Western satire features Sandler as Tommy "White Knife" Stockburn, an orphan raised by Native Americans. Together with his five brothers, played by Terry Crews, Taylor Lautner, Jorge Garcia, Rob Schneider, and Luke Wilson, the crew sets out to rescue their father (Nick Nolte).

The film is stacked with a bunch of stars. Steve Buscemi, Dan Aykroyd, Will Forte, Danny Trejo, and Steve Zahn are also credited among a huge cast.

"The Ridiculous 6" came under fire earlier this year when American Indian actors walked off the set after concerns were raised about the portrayal of Native American religious practices.

Sandler signed an exclusive four-film deal with Netflix last October claiming he did it because it "rhymes with wet chicks."

"The Ridiculous 6" will be released December 11.

Disclosure: Mathias Döpfner, CEO of Business Insider's parent company, Axel Springer, is a Netflix board member.
