Review by adogcalledstray

It was billed as a comedy, but in the beginning I found it a little too subtle about mocking the mystery whodunnit genre. There were in fact real moments of pathos. So when the real comedic stuff came on, I was just kind of stiff and still, "oh, here come the jokes I guess?" I laughed, but not so much at the jokes, just at the fact that I got caught off guard. "Oh yeah, this is a comedy after all. Hah!"

Throughout it all, I kept thinking that something like Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler's "Murder Mystery" did a better lampooning of the genre. Whilst Ana de Armas and Daniel Craig's "Knives Out" was a better homage to it that had moments of comedic genius.
