Murder Mystery 2

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.

Adam is still going strong in all facets of his career and actually getting a bit of long deserved recognition of late (Mark Twain Award). His comedy is universally loved even in the most basic of regurgitated Hollywood plots. This is another case of that. This builds more on the action side of the couple's escapades but delivers in the standard laughs ten fold. Anniston proves once again she is a terrific match for an on screen love interest for Sandler. Their chemistry is never missing a beat. The story becomes just a backdrop for their antics to shine. While some of the forced modern rhetoric is grating at times, the film is a solid comedy. Know what you're getting and it's a fun time.

We really enjoyed this comedy. It was wonderfully wacky & absurd. We laughed hysterically at some points, usually for off-hand quips from the two protagonists. If you've enjoyed past Sandler and Aniston films, you'll like this one, too. It's a lot of fun, if you're in the mood for laughter.

It's a refreshing change of pace after watching too many thriller & action films. This film is knee-slapping funny. Who cares if both the characters and the plot are verging on the absurd & surreal? That's just part of the film's charm.

I was looking forward to this movie coming out, and I wasn't disappointed. Please keep us laughing, Adam!
