Cameron Diaz is finally back, and no one's more excited than Jamie Foxx. For their new action comedy "Back in Action" (streaming Friday on Netflix), the Oscar-winning actor did what no one else could: pull Diaz out of retirement.

Her new Netflix movie, 'Back in Action,' isn't great. But if it means there’s more Cameron Diaz in our future, let’s take it.
Of course, Cameron Diaz wasn't done breaking the rules. On January 17, she proved that we should all be wearing white well after Labor Day. In fact, any hold-outs of this antiquated fashion taboo should consider wearing only white throughout winter, just as Diaz demonstrated at a Back in Action photocall in London.
Taylor Gates of Collider rates it a 4 out of 10, saying Back in Action is “too formulaic to be fun,” and it struggles in tone as too adult to engage a younger audience but too kid-friendly to be considered one of Netflix’s sexiest movies. Gates says:
From “There’s Something About Mary” to “The Sweetest Thing,” the multitalented actor Cameron Diaz makes her triumphant return to acting with Netflix’s action-comedy “Back in Action” alongside Jamie Foxx,
Andrew Scott, Kyle Chandler and Glenn Close also star in Seth Gordon’s caper about a pair of retired undercover agents dragged back into the spy game along with their unknowing children.
We should all have as much fun going back to work as Cameron Diaz does in the appropriately titled “Back in Action,” the actress’s first movie since “Annie” in 2014.
Some new releases heading into the weekend are Apple TV's thriller "Severance," new Netflix movie "Back in Action" and J Lo's new movie "Unstoppable."
C ameron Diaz 's comeback movie Back in Action is finally on Netflix after its release was pushed back from last November. Diaz, who returns to the screen 11 years after appearing in 2014's Annie, stars opposite Jamie Foxx in this action comedy from director and co-writer Seth Gordon.
The actress was featured in a selfie with her husband after making her return to the red carpet after 10 years.
