Murder Mystery 2

Like its predecessor, Murder Mystery 2 sets out to provide a breezy diversion and it largely succeeds. It isn't trying to be deep, or meaningful, or even riotously funny. But there's a good-natured charm to the proceedings thanks to the chemistry of the two leads, who manage to remain affable while quipping their way through the predictable plot. The supporting cast are one-note stereotypes (the vapid billionaire, the aggressive playboy, the coldly judgemental aristocrat, etc.) but they're utilized sparingly enough not to wear out their respective welcomes. It's an enjoyable way to turn your brain off for 90 minutes or so.

6.7/10 from me. Cheesy? Yes! Kind of stupid? You bet. Was it funny? Abso-lol-lutly! I was shaking my head, smiling and grinning the whole movie. It script is ridiculous and it somehow just was cohessive enough to work.

I watched the first one and didn't watch the trailer to the second one and came with very low expectations. I wanted a light-hearted evening to smile and the movie delivered the experience and exceeded my expectations. If you have a sense of humor, like to laugh at crazy and stupid situations, you will have a blast.

Will this win an Oscar? Not a chance,but will this deliver you 1.5 hours of good time? You bet!

Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler are back - with more slapstick, comedy, and even crazier scenes.

They are again the Spitzes, this time officially detectives, who run into murder and mayhem wherever they turn.

Four years after Murder Mystery 1, Nick and Audrey are invited to When they're invited to celebrate the wedding of their friend The Maharajah (Adeel Akhtar) on his island. He is kidnapped, and everyone becomes a suspect.

The movie sports a good supporting cast - Mark Strong, The plot of the film is good enough and so are the characters, especially Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston, who are always great together, along with the supporting cast: Miller (Mark Strong), Melanie Laurent, Jodie Turner-Smith, John Kani, Kuhoo Vermal, Dany Boon, Enrique Arce, Jillian Bell, and Tony Goldwyn.

The story takes us to Paris - the scenery is fantastic. The Spitzes and the predicaments they get into are hilarious.

This is light fun, enjoyable, with some laugh out loud moments.

It would be very easy to attack this movie with many negative adjectives. It's the perfect film for Letterboxd and Film Twitter users to showcase their snobbery and balance their ratings with some negative reviews. After all, this is the kind of movie that is forgotten in a few hours, has little or no subtext, and can easily be watched while doing the dishes or ironing.

However, a movie should be judged according to what it intends to be, and this movie is exactly what it should be: light entertainment that sometimes makes you laugh and doesn't strain your brain. It's an improvement over the first movie in every way: the humour works much better, everything seems much bigger in scale, and the Sandler-Aniston duo has greater chemistry. Adding to this are new characters - our Arturito, as sexist as ever! 🤣 - that fit well into all of this.

This is the typical movie that snobby film critics will never understand when a new sequel is inevitably announced, even if it should be pretty clear: it's honest with its audience.

The time I write this review the movie has a rating of 5.8 Stars and I don't understand why.

The movie is pretty damn funny. I think there wasn't a joke I don't laughed about and the reason for that are probably the actors. Adam Sandler and Jennifer Anniston just work so good together as well as their characters.

The action isn't as good as in John Wick 4 of course but for such a movie it's very good. I wasn't expecting that.

However the movie is a little short leading to a story that isn't as good as in Knives Out, but I mean you don't watch this movie to get a super intelligent 'murder mystery' story, which is kind of ironic.

In conclusion I would say this movie is definitely watchable so don't be afraid if you find the rating of the movie bad.
