Cast includes Kuhoo Verma (Plan B), Taylor Ortega (Another Simple Plan), Soojeong Son (Kaleidoscope), Saamer Usmani (3 Body Problem) and Mark Gessner (NCIS: New Orleans).

The female-led, mystery-comedy-thriller set in NYC is about investigative reporter George (Verma) who moves to New York, but needs a roommate. Knowing no one else in the city except her childhood best friend Trish (Son), George agrees to move in with Trish’s city bestie, Avery (Ortega), an aspiring actress and full-time mess. Due to a clash of personality and a series of mishaps, the two women quickly end up at each other’s throats – and competing for Trish’s friendship. Until one day when Trish mysteriously vanishes.

We spoke with real-life astronaut Nicole Stott following the release of Space Cadet, Emma Roberts' new NASA comedy film on which Stott served as a consultant. Stott has seen a fair share of other outer space-centered films that Hollywood has churned out, and she shared her thoughts with us on some of the films she truly loves despite some glaring inaccuracies.

It's not just about the technical feats in these movies for Stott; having grounded human and emotional elements are also vital and resonate with the experience of space travel. "I tend to look at it kind of that way with films," Stott told MovieWeb. "Gravity is a good example, but the story is kind of absurd the science, I'm like, 'Holy moly, come on! You could have gotten that right!'" She continued:

"I mean, it's a film where I felt like it should have been gotten right, so...

Quick Links Elle Woods vs. Rex Simpson The Stakes Are Higher Passion, Determination, and Empowerment

Prime Video has added a new sci-fi comedy to its inventory, and it is a special one, to say the least. Written and directed by Liz W. Garcia, Space Cadet, stands out with its catchy storyline and familiar cast members. Emma Roberts stepped into the role of the main character, Rex Simpson, and is joined by The Umbrella Academys Tom Hopper and The Afterpartys Poppy Liu. The reception of Space Cadet wasnt as satisfying as the director and cast probably would have wished for, but the sci-fi comedy sparked a conversation after all.

In Space Cadet, the Florida party girl and quirky bartender, Rex Simpson, has lost sight of her biggest dream, but an unexpected conversation sparks her motivation. Without much time to contemplate, Rex embarks on a journey to become an astronaut. The only issue?...

Quick Links Space Cadet Matches Roberts' Previous Comedy Movies Emma Roberts Rollercoaster Career Emma Roberts Is Way Too Quirky in Space Cadet

Hollywood has a wide list of celebrity names that immediately ring a bell, but the Roberts surname is undoubtedly pretty far at the top. While Academy Award-winning Julia Roberts has and continues to be in the spotlight of the film industry, her niece, Emma Roberts, has followed her footsteps from a young age onward, and her face continues to pop up on the screens.

Just recently, Roberts new comedy movie, Space Cadet, which also stars Poppy Liu and Tom Hopper, was released on Prime Video, and the cast really fell in love with their characters. Despite their admiration for the story and plot, viewers have quite a different perception of the movie. Instead of becoming a valuable addition to Roberts filmography, Space Cadet merely works as a bleak...

Space Cadet, which stars Emma Roberts as Florida party girl Rex, who finds herself unexpectedly becoming an astronaut candidate, comes from director by Liz W. Garcia, who brings a refreshing spin to the beloved “fish out of water” trope,

infused with a female-centric narrative that reminded me very much of classics such as the 80s Goldie Hawn-led duo of Protocol and Private Benjamin – which itself inspired a similar “fish out of water” military comedy in 2002s Cadet Kelly; along with the likes of Miss Congeniality (2000) and Legally Blonde, released a year later in 2001.

Garcia’s film very much echoes Legally Blonde and Miss Congeniality thematically, both of which featured strong, independent women – played by Reese Witherspoon and Sandra Bullock respectively – who...

Emma Roberts recently arrived at the Jimmy Kimmel Live! Studios in Los Angeles on Tuesday, July 9, looking absolutely stunning. Hand-in-hand with her boyfriend, Cody John, she exuded effortless chic, proving that a well-curated outfit can go a long way.

Rotten Tomatoes gives a score to Emma Roberts new Prime Video movie Space Cadet, and it continues a bleak trend for the actor. Released on July 4, Madame Web star Roberts latest film concerns a Florida party girl with bigger aspirations, who scams her way into astronaut training school, with comedic results. As directed by Liz W. Garcia, the Space Cadet cast also includes Tom Hopper, Gabrielle Union, Poppy Liu and Dave Foley.

Even with Roberts in the lead role, and a solid supporting cast behind her, critics are not over the moon about Space Cadet, as reflected in its just-revealed 24% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Space Cadet is a romantic comedy film written and directed by Liz W. Garcia. The Prime Video film follows the story of Tiffany “Rex” Simpson, a Florida party girl who has always dreamed of going to space and gets admitted into the NASA space program because of a fluke with much more capable candidates. She must prove herself to the NASA bosses using her heart, street smarts, and moxie. Space Cadet stars Emma Roberts in the lead role, with Tom Hopper, Poppy Liu, Sebastián Yatra, Kuhoo Verma, Desi Lydic, Gabrielle Union, Andrew Call, Sam Robards, and Dave Foley starring in supporting roles. If you like the comedic, romantic, and heartfelt moments of Space Cadet, here are some similar films you could watch next.

Legally Blonde (Max & Rent on Prime Video) Credit – MGM

Legally Blonde is a romantic comedy film directed by Robert Luketic from a screenplay by Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith.

Space Cadet features a diverse ensemble cast full of strange, unique characters. Emma Roberts plays Rex Simpson, a woman from Florida in her early 30s who dreams of being an astronaut and makes up for the lack of traditional qualifications with her smarts, passion, and drive. Space Cadet has romantic comedy elements, with Tom Hopper playing Logan O'Leary, Rex's superior at NASA's Johnson Space Center and her main romantic interest.

The 2024 romantic-comedy movie Space Cadet follows Emma Roberts as an unconventional hopeful astronaut with a hilarious supporting cast. The original Prime Video movie takes an interesting approach to the space movie subgenre through Roberts character and the rest of the astronaut candidates, comically referred to as Ascans. While Space Cadet is certainly a comedy with romantic elements, it has an important message and a lot of heart behind it. Space Cadet can make viewers laugh out loud and...

Emma Roberts has been in some iconic movies like Valentine’s Day, It’s Kind of a Funny Story, Scream 4, We’re the Millers, and The Blackcoat’s Daughter. And ever since she first stepped into the world of American Horror Story in 2013, she has become one of the most recognizable faces in the horror genre, at least on the small screen. But it seems like she hasn’t had the same kind of luck when it comes to feature films since the 2015 film Nerve. And it’s not like she hasn’t tried. Roberts has done rom-coms, science-fantasies, action-horrors, straight-up horrors, and whatever categories Madame Web and UglyDolls fall into. However, I think she has come up with the ultimate test for her fans in the form of Space Cadet.

Liz W. Garcia’s Space Cadet tells the story of Rex Simpson, a girl living in Florida who aspires to go to space.

Emma Roberts stars in the disappointing Space Cadet with a weak script and storyline. The movie's plot feels more suitable for a Disney Channel release, lacking character growth and full of implausible storytelling. Despite Roberts and Tom Hopper's charming performances, the film's writing and predictable plot hinder their efforts.

Though having made a name for herself in the early years of her career on Nickelodeon and in teen movies, Emma Roberts has shown a wide diversity of talent onscreen, whether it be as the entertainingly cruel Chanel Oberlin in Scream Queens or the hauntingly compelling Joan in The Blackcoat's Daughter. It's this prior range of performances that makes Space Cadet such a disappointing installment for her filmography, with its painfully unfunny script and storyline.

Liz W. Garcia is a talented writer and director who created the original film "Space Cadet." The film follows Tiffany "Rex" Simpson, played by Emma Roberts, as she chases her dream of going to space. The film's message is about not settling and reconnecting to one's dreams, even if they seem too big or out of reach. Garcia hopes to work with Emma Roberts again on a romantic comedy in the future.

Prime Video has an array of movies, and it's adding writer-director Liz W. Garcia's Space Cadet to its repertoire. Starring Emma Roberts as Rex, a woman who dreams of going to space and applies to a NASA program to get there, Gabrielle Union, and The Umbrella Academy actor Tom Hopper, Space Cadet is one of the best streaming comedies out this year. The film is all about empowerment and following one's dream regardless of age, experience, or the obstacles standing in one's way.

This July, beat the heat with the latest additions at Prime Video and Freevee!

It’s a light month for original series, films, and specials as we head into the summer lull, but there is still plenty to watch throughout the month: over 140 classic films between the two Amazon streamers will be added this month, from horrors such as the genre-changing “The Silence Of The Lambs” and last year’s newest “Evil Dead” franchise installment “Evil Dead Rise,” the first five films of the “Rocky” franchise, and comedies like “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” “Animal House,” “13 Going On 30,” and much, much more.

But after the majority of the film load drops on July 1, don’t forget to head back to the services’ additions throughout the month, including Season 2 of the critically acclaimed “Troppo,” the new “Legally Blonde“-like comedy “Space Cadet,” and a new documentary from award-winning documentary filmmaker Dawn Porter,...

Prime Video has revealed a new trailer for the upcoming Emma Roberts-led ‘Space Cadet.’

Tiffany “Rex” Simpson (Emma Roberts) has always dreamed of going to space, but life isn’t going quite as planned. Determined to turn things around, she aims high and with the embellishing touch of her supportive best friend Nadine (Poppy Liu), her “doctored” application lands her in NASA’s ultra-competitive astronaut training program. In over her head, Rex relies on her quick wits, moxie and determination to get to the top of her class. NASA program directors Pam (Gabrielle Union) and Logan (Tom Hopper) certainly take notice, but can this Florida girl get through training and into the cosmos before she blows her cover? Written and directed by Liz W. Garcia, Space Cadet is a comedy about the power of being yourself, following your dreams and shooting for the stars.

"We need unconventional candidates!" But do we really? Prime Video has revealed the official trailer for a comedy called Space Cadet, arriving for streaming worldwide on July 4th this summer. From the looks of it, this seems like it's trying to be Legally Blonde but for NASA's astronaut program instead of law school. "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for a Florida party girl." Even that tagline is cringe.

Abortion rights took center stage at a rally Tuesday for striking film and television writers, who gathered with their supporters outside the New York City headquarters of Amazon on the first day of the retail and streaming giant’s “Prime Day” summer sale.

Linking abortion rights to labor rights, speakers said that film and TV workers in anti-abortion states are less protected today from pregnancy-related health emergencies than they were before the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Roe v Wade last summer. That ruling turned abortion rights and restrictions into a state-by-state patchwork after the high court’s ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.

They also said production companies such as Amazon — which reimburses employee travel expenses for medical procedures including abortions — could be more vocal in their support of women’s reproductive freedom and medical care.

Warning! This article contains Spoilers for Murder Mystery 2.

Murder Mystery 2 may contain much of the former, fittingly for a whodunit, but it hides its most graphic death for a very good reason.

Warning: Contains Spoilers for Murder Mystery 2!

Murder Mystery 2's kidnapper identity is not revealed until the very end, but the movie included several clues along the way. The sequel to 2019's Murder Mystery brings Nick (Adam Sandler) and Audrey (Jennifer Aniston) back for another opportunity to solve a crime. After solving a murder before, Murder Mystery 2 turns Nick and Audrey's attention toward a kidnapping. The case begins when they attend the Maharajah's wedding and witness the groom being kidnapped. Their list of suspects includes those closest to the Maharajah (Adele Akhtar), ranging from his wife-to-be Claudette (Mélanie Laurent), ex-fiancee Countess Sekou (Jodie Turner-Smith), and more.

It is not until Murder Mystery 2's ending begins to wrap up that the movie confirms the kidnapper's identity by revealing two people were involved. The overall plan was put into effect by Maharajah's sister Saira (Kuhoo Verma), who thought that she...

At this point in his career, after almost 30 years of cranking out hits and a recent Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, Adam Sandler makes two kinds of movies. He can fully commit himself to projects of originality and depth, including Hustle, one of the few truly great basketball films on record, and Uncut Gems, an anxiety-fueled, character-based thriller quite funny in its own way. And then he can return to his bread and butter: throwaway comedies that play like the star mostly just wanted to have a good time with his friends.

Warning: Contains Spoilers for Murder Mystery 2!

Nick and Audrey Spitz return to solve a kidnapper plot, and Murder Mystery 2's ending delivers a few big twists and surprises in the resolution of the crime. Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston returned for another whodunnit mystery on Netflix that picks up four years after the original film. The premise of the sequel sees Nick and Audrey travel to a private island for a wedding of a former friend, only for the groom to be kidnapped the night of the festivities. It sparks a massive search for who kidnapped The Maharajah (Adele Akhtar), which makes the cast members in Murder Mystery 2 as Nick and Audrey's new suspect list.

Review: There are two types of Adam Sandler movies: good ones and the ones he makes for Netflix. Since signing a massive deal with the streaming platform in 2014, Sandler has made eight films of varying quality, with all but two being lambasted by critics. Looked at by many as expensive vacations for Sandler and his friends, most of these comedies are nothing more than filler for Netflix to pad their library of original productions. When Murder Mystery premiered in 2019, the reunion of Jennifer Aniston and Sandler was a critical dud, but fans loved the blend of action and mystery. Now, Murder Mystery 2 draws from Rian Johnson’s Knives Out sequel,...

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.

Murder Mystery 2 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,...

Murder Mystery was released in 2019 and, according to Netflix’s own reporting, was a smash hit. This solidified Adam Sandler’s relationship with the streaming company; he would later sign a new development deal with them. With more movies to come, Netflix is banking on two things, Sandler’s undeniable star power and his ability to make semi-entertaining movies with all-star casts. Murder Mystery 2 is entirely built on these two principles, and if audiences enjoyed Murder Mystery, they will get more of the same with its sequel and nothing else.

Murder Mystery 2 follows Nick (Sandler) and Audrey Spitz (Jennifer Aniston), the unlikely mystery-solving couple from New York. After solving the murder of billionaire Malcolm Quince (Terence Stamp), Nick and Audrey return to everyday life as newly licensed private investigators. The former police officer and hairdresser enjoy the thrill of solving a crime, and little do they know that...

If you’re in the mood for an action movie, there’s the superb “John Wick: Chapter 4” in theaters. If you’re only looking for a Netflix streaming whodunit, there’s “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” just a click away. Or, it’s late or you’re hungover or doing laundry or just in need of background noise. Enter: the perfect movie, “Murder Mystery 2.”

Four years after the first blandly titled (dare we say meta?) take on Agatha Christie meets the “Vacation” movies, the sequel is back with plenty of “my wife” jokes and outlandish locations for an unassuming American couple to ruin. But damn if that couple isn’t charming.

Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston are back as Nick and Audrey Spitz, who have now started a private investigator agency in Brooklyn. The only problem? Their cases are dwindling and — so is the steaminess in their marriage.

To quote the evil Noah Cross in Chinatown, “Politicians, ugly buildings and whores all get respectable if they last long enough.” The same can be said of Adam Sandler, who spent years as a piñata for critics as a result of such mindless comedies as Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore. Now he’s an acclaimed actor, his name floated by Oscar prognosticators for such superb performances as the ones he gave in Uncut Gems and Hustle. He’s even joined the ranks of such illustrious comedic talents as Richard Pryor and George Carlin in winning the Mark Twain Prize.

But Sandler’s ultimately gotta be Sandler, and that huge deal with Netflix has to be fulfilled. Hence the arrival of Murder Mystery 2, the sequel to the critically panned 2019 comedy co-starring Jennifer Aniston that became the streamer’s biggest hit that year. This film brings back the goofy, doofus Sandler...

The only reason Murder Mystery 2 or even its predecessor exists is as a star vehicle in the most literal sense of the word. The recipe is simple: Sign Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston, put them in glamorous locations with lots of action and schtick, and then set it loose on a global platform – Netflix – that can easily sell these kinds of recognizable shenanigans in all points of the world. It worked in 2019, and it works again now, only this time with the action and stunts so ramped up they almost overtake the plot, such as it is. The template and characters were firmly established in the original which had our stars caught up in a murder in which they were suspects, but eventually save the day before the entire cast of characters wind up dead in the process.

It is a familiar trope for movies to pair big lovable...

2019’s Murder Mystery was an international romp which saw Jennifer Aniston’s crime novel-obsessed hairdresser and Adam Sandler’s cop take a European trip and get swept up in a whodunit. It was a hit for Netflix becoming one of the streamer’s most watched movies and a sequel was greenlit which is now upon us.

Aniston and Sandler are back as husband and wife Audrey and Nick but who else has returned and who has joined the cast? Where have you seen these actors before? Mystery solved!

Adeel Aktar as The Maharajar

British actor, Aktar is back as the Maharajar. He’s been in all manner of films and shows in the UK, and has a BAFTA as well as several more nominations. You might recognise him as Faisal from Four Lions, Lestrade in the Enola Holmes movies or from a whole raft of quality British shows include Utopia,...

“Superbad,” a 2007 American comedy film helmed by Greg Mottola and produced by Judd Apatow, follows the journey of high school seniors on their final days. Seth (Jonah Hill) and Evan (Michael Cera), determined to attend one last bash before parting ways after graduation, face an unforeseen roadblock when they decide to lose their virginity.

In addition to Rogen, the movie also features Bill Hader, Martha MacIsaac, Joe Lo Truglio, Dave Franco, David Krumholtz, Martin Starr, and Emma Stone in her feature film debut as Seth’s adoration Jules.

Utterly surpassing expectations, the film proved a phenomenal financial success with over $170 million in box office earnings despite its modest budget of only $17.5–20 million.

Since then, it has achieved international acclaim as one of the best high school films of all time.

So, If you’re looking for an outrageous night of laugh-out-loud teen sex comedy, this list is just what you’ve been waiting for.

Holly Willoughby was forced to apologise after Jennifer Aniston swore live on This Morning.

The Friends star appeared on the ITV talk show on Thursday (16 March) alongside Adam Sandler as they discussed the release of their new film Murder Mystery 2 over video.

During the interview, Phillip Schofield asked the pair about filming a scene on the top of the Eiffel Tower, which they said was partly CGI, but partly real.

Sandler then recalled how he had pretended to push Aniston when they were standing at the top, which Aniston said was “just for s***s and giggles”.

Aniston then put her hand over her mouth, while Willoughby quickly apologised for Aniston’s language. Aniston joked: “I’m sure you can bleep that.”

“Oh no, it’s live,” Schofield replied, with Aniston looking awkward as Sandler commented: “At least she said giggles. There was happiness after it.”

As the pair get invited on another lavish trip before disaster strikes yet again, Aniston asks: “Do you remember what happened last time we were on a getaway?”

Sandler’s character responds, “Yeah, some people died,” as Aniston says, “Not some… a lot of people.”

Sandler questions, “You think five people dying is a lot?”

Following the events of 2019’s Murder Mystery Nick (Adam Sandler) and Audrey Spitz (Jennifer Aniston) are real detectives but not really respected detectives in the new trailer for Murder Mystery 2. The film arrives March 31st on Netflix.

Picking up four years later, the comedy mystery sequel finds the Spitz’s as the heads of a struggling private eye agency with exactly one thing to look forward to: the wedding of their old friend, the Maharaja (Adeel Akhtar). But the island nuptials are spoiled when the groom is kidnapped, and every wedding attendee from guests to bride is a suspect.

Murdery Mystery 2 co-stars Mark Strong, Mélanie Laurent, Jodie Turner-Smith, Kuhoo Verma, John Kani, and Dany Boon. It was written by original Murder Mystery screenwriter James Vanderbilt and directed by Jeremy Garelick, best known as one of the scribes behind The Hangover as well as the helmer of The Wedding Ringer and the Purge parody,...

"This is a distraction… from the escape!" Netflix has revealed an official trailer for Murder Mystery 2, a sequel to the hit streaming comedy from 2019. I'd sat this an entirely unwanted and unnecessary sequel, but that might not be true considering tons of people did watch this first movie, even though it had tons of bad reviews. Full-time detectives Nick and Audrey are struggling to get their private eye agency off the ground. They find themselves at the center of international abduction when their friend Maharaja is kidnapped at his own lavish wedding. Does anyone even want to find out what's going on? "Murder Mystery 2 sends Nick and Audre on a high-stakes case that finally gives them everything they’ve ever dreamed of: a shot at their detective agency finally becoming successful… and their long-awaited trip to Paris." The film is directed by Jeremy Garelick and stars Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston,...

It’s deux or die – their joke, not ours – with the new trailer for Murder Mystery 2, the Netflix sequel that pairs Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston as the married couple with a knack for sleuthing and trouble.

When last we saw them in Murder Mystery, New York cop Nick (Sandler) and wife Audrey (Aniston) were on a European vacation when they got framed for the death of an elderly billionaire and were forced to go on the run.

Now they’re back, and this time they’re full-time detectives struggling to get their private eye agency off the ground when they’re invited to celebrate the wedding of their friend the Maharaja (Adeel Akhtar) on his private island.

Set four years after the action of the first movie, Murder Mystery 2 finds the sleuths in the midst of trouble yet again when the groom is kidnapped for ransom soon...

If you enjoyed Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery and are yearning for more whodunnit comedy set in exotic locales, Netflix has your back as the streaming service has just released the trailer for the sequel to Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston‘s 2019 comedy, Murder Mystery. Murder Mystery 2 reunites Sandler with Aniston on their third collaboration after Just Go with It and the first Murder Mystery. This time, the mystery ends up taking our duo to Paris and will feature an all-new ensemble cast.

The official Netflix synopsis reads,

“Four years after solving their first murder mystery, Nick and Audrey Spitz are now full-time detectives struggling to get their private eye agency off the ground when they’re invited to celebrate the wedding of their friend the Maharaja (Adeel Akhtar) on his private island.

Before we get to the "Murder Mystery 2" trailer, can we talk about Adam Sandler's career real quick? The popular actor simply owned the 1990s with a string of hilarious hits like "Billy Madison," "Happy Gilmore," and "The Wedding Singer," but a funny thing happened on the way to establishing himself as the go-to comedy leading man. A director by the name of Paul Thomas Anderson approached him for this little movie called "Punch-Drunk Love" in 2002, casting him entirely against type and giving him a career-best role that allowed audiences to see that he offered so much more than what they'd gotten used to. Of course, he'd follow that up with about a dozen more movies that we'd expect from him ... that is, until he enjoyed a bit of a renaissance period between "Sandy Wexler," "The Meyerowitz Stories," and especially the Safdie brothers anxiety-inducing "Uncut Gems."

Well, Sandler's back...

Murder Mystery 2 makes a strong case for keeping Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston as far away from your wedding as humanly possible. Arriving on Netflix on March 31, the follow-up to 2019’s Murder Mystery finds the actors reprising their roles as Nick and Audrey, a pair of murder magnets tasked with solving a kidnapping when the high-profile groom of a wedding they’re attending is snatched up and held for ransom.

“We’re not gonna be invited anywhere ever again,” Aniston says in the first official film trailer. And it wouldn’t be without cause.

For Adam Sandler‘s Nick Spitz and Jennifer Aniston‘s Audrey, another idyllic escape turns into a darkly comedic nightmare, as seen in the first trailer for the Netflix movie sequel Murder Mystery 2.

In the original Murder Mystery — which, I should remind you, was Netflix’s most popular movie of the year 2019 — Nick and Audrey impulsively joined a billionaire they had just met while en route to Europe for a yacht party that took multiple deadly turns.
