Murder Mystery 2019 7+ out of 10
I have grown to really love the movie Just Go With It starring Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler -so when I first saw the trailer for this direct to Netflix movie--I was excited.
Murder Mystery re-teams Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston as
married couple that decides to finally go on their honeymoon after 15 years of
marriage. Adam Sandler’s character is a New York cop that wants to be a detective and Aniston plays his wife who likes to read Mystery novels.
On the flight to Europe they get
invited on a rich Englishman’s yacht.
This leads to a “Someone in this room is a murderer” plot. The owner of the yacht gets killed when
the lights go off while he is about to change his will.
The murder mystery itself
is just okay, but the dialogue and comic chemistry of Sandler and Aniston as a
bickering couple is what makes the film good. Their characters end up being suspected on the
murder and must try and solve the murder themselves as the list of other
suspects start dying off. It’s kind of had the feel of movies like The Out
of Towners. I don’t want to say too much
about the plot itself –for fear of giving away any of the mystery –but I would
definite recommend it a good Comedy/Mystery film with some decent laughs. I especially loved how the end of the film
set itself up so well for a possible sequel (Mystery Movie fans will definitely
catch the reference).
Sandler movies can be so hit and miss—but when he has been
teamed up with Aniston and Drew Barrymore those films have worked quite well.
