Description: Full-time
detectives Nick (Adam Sandler) and Audrey (Jennifer Aniston) are struggling to
get their private eye agency off the ground. They find themselves at the center
of international abduction when their friend is kidnapped at his own wedding.
Review: In “Murder Mystery” (2019) Nick and Audrey accidentally ended up in a
murder mystery. In the sequel, “Murder Mystery 2”, they are working as private
investigators, but aren’t very successful. When a rich friend invites them to a
wedding on his private island, they decide to take some time off to enjoy a
vacation. But their friend goes missing, meaning Nick and Audrey have to
investigate again.
I really enjoyed the first
film. It wasn’t great, but it was funny and surprisingly entertaining. I had a
good time watching it and I loved the concept of the murder mystery. A lot is
wrong with the second installment. For starters, the mystery itself. The movie
is called “Murder Mystery 2”and while there are people being murdered in this
movie, the actual mystery is a kidnapping, the murders are just collateral
damage and the characters don’t seem to care about these people.
Second, the film isn’t that
funny and both Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler act like this is a routine
job. The movie feels uninspired. Literally so much can be done with murder
mystery in your film title, and then they are using a kidnapping as your main
plot. And I love Aniston and Sandler, also as a duo. But this movie is not it.
I barely remember any details, and I watched it yesterday. A waste of time,
talent and concept.
Rating: 2/ 5
