Netflix has released an official trailer for “Bad Day,” an action comedy starring Cameron Diaz, with the film headed to streaming starting in December. The movie centers on Diaz as Joy, a single mother whose day spirals into escalating chaos as she tries to keep one promise to her daughter despite a string of setbacks.

Across the outlets’ previews, the tone is framed as a “big-heart” comedy that mixes domestic stakes with outlandish situations, including incidents teased in the trailer such as an accidentally escalated bank-related problem. Coverage also highlights the ensemble cast, naming co-stars such as Mark Duplass and an extended group of supporting performers, and notes the film’s filmmaker, Jake Szymanski, as part of the promotional rollout. Several listings emphasize the return of Diaz to acting, linking the release to an “acting comeback” narrative while still focusing primarily on trailer details and the premise.
