Murder Mystery 2 is the sequel of Murder Mystery, also starring Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston.
Same essence as Daggers in the Back: The Mystery of Glass Onion – pure production in a film that becomes more and more forgettable as it gradually gets chewed up by Adam Sandler’s jokes.
If you like his humor, here are a few more brushstrokes by this comedian who comes from stand-up humor: fast, sometimes over-easy.
As a movie: not much, or in truth even less, to write home about
Movie Review
A real luxury of sets, ambience and so on. No style, true, but a lot of waste and it even has a nice little dance at the beginning of a film that is consumed as fast as it is forgotten: insipid and painless.
A film – as is to be expected – from Sandler’s production company, Happy Madison, that is, like so many others, created for the fans and inconsequentially “dumb” for the experts. However, it is the hallmark of these productions that – so much to the liking of the fans – on the one hand, in Murder Mystery 2 they will find one more way to waste their time but which is the same as any other, and can use it to forget about everything, and that, on the other hand, doesn’t aspire to anything greater than achieving exactly that.
It’s a Hollywood that revels in being Hollywood and with jokes that, if you’re European, can even make you feel queasy.
The first part was already a disaster with regard to the reviews, and this sequel will not be a success in that respect either. However, it was the most watched movie on Netflix that year, so the continuity of the Sandler-Netflix idyll is more than assured.
The best part, as always: Jennifer Aniston, who returns to pretty much play the role we fell in love with, the one which she never wanted to stray from too much, and that, in addition, she does so well.
Our Opinion
A lot of money invested in a luxurious studio production that is forgotten as it is consumed.
