Meurtre et mystère 2

An attempt to recreate the charm of the first, but doesn't quite get there.

Murder Mystery 2 brings back the charm of Adam Sandler and Jennifer Anniston. Their chemistry is good.

However, the faster action pacing actually works against the comedy. It feels like a chronology of action sequences done purposefully ridiculously. So it seems like a lot of fun to shoot the movie for the cast... but it's a little messy and unfocused for the viewer.

There is even a little lack of creativity in the sequel... many elements from the first movie was recycled: stabbed victim, stealing a lambo, French lieutenant... I'm not even sure why some of the original cast needed to be in the sequel.

It was a quick fun, albeit forgettable movie. Perhaps if the plot and dialogue were a tad bit smarter, definitely the Sandler-Anniston pair can sell it!

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.

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.

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.
