Netflix released the trailer for “Little Brother,” starring John Cena, Eric André and Chris Meloni, and the chaotic preview promises plenty of outrageous moments and big laughs.
Directed by Matt Spicer, the movie centers on John Cena’s character, a real estate agent whose orderly life is turned upside down when his eccentric “little brother” — who is not related to him by blood — suddenly becomes a constant presence in his daily life, causing chaos along the way. The cast also includes Michelle Monaghan, Ego Nwodim, Sherry Cola, Caleb Hearon, Ben Ahlers, Bryce Gheisar and Pilot Bunch.
“He’s not my actual brother,” Cena says in the clip.
He voices his growing frustration as the trailer cuts through a series of chaotic scenes showing André causing damage, destruction and nonstop distractions that throw Cena’s carefully structured life into disarray.
Everything seems to be crumbling around Cena as he has to try and deal with Andre and his work. “The timing on this couldn’t be worse,” he says.

Cena’s larger than life persona is no match for Andre’s troublesome ways as the two continue to find a way to exist with one another.
Andre bring his signature humor, at one point commenting on Cena by telling Monaghan “Our man is hurting right now,” and suggesting, “You might want to think about eating that a**.”
The comedic trailer takes a series of unexpected twists and turns, and a recent interview with Extra revealed that some of the laughs were very real.

“They’re only going to show the seconds that I wasn’t laughing,” Cena joked.
“I honestly think we play off each other very well. He has an incredible sense of humor, and I’m a decent sounding board for that.” (RELATED: Cate Blanchett, Selena Gomez To Appear In X-Rated Film)
