What a worthless piece of trash. It uses the same old, unrestored pictures and movie clips over and over, and most of the time they are unrelated to the narration. The show jumps all over the place from history to government back to history and over to pictures (without captions) back to government, etc. Etc, I hoped I could learn something new, something interesting, such disappointment. The narrator is a monotone sounding like he's reading from a computer repair manual, Overall it feels like the company that made this video was forced into it, No context, no continuity, very little color. And how many times do we need to see a picture of Princess Diana dancing with John Travolta? And why?

Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston would not seem to be a natural fit for a natural couple. But somehow they pull it off. They just seem so right together. It's just natural to imagine them as a middle aged married couple.

While it follows the same format as Murder Mystery 1, it has enough twists and turns to make it an excellent comedy in its own right and not just a bad sequel also many are. A person could watch and enjoy this movie without ever having seen the original.

The film is fast. Paced and the movie was over far too quickly. In addition to Sandler and Aniston, the supporting cast was excellent, with many of them returning from the first film.

Let's hope there is a Murder Mystery 3 coming somewhere down the road.

I tried to watch this film with an open mind but unfortunately I'm old enough to have seen the 1968 version when it first came out. There simply is no comparison. The characters go thru this film just reciting their lines as if they don't understand what they're saying nor do they care. The scenery, both indoor and outdoor, while beautiful, seems too "clean" and "modern" to represent a time when everything was lit by candles and torches. And a really good film will have background music that is barely noticeable but which actually sets the mood and adds to each scene. Here the music fights with the film to get the most attention. One good attribute is Hailee Steinfeld's role as Juliet. The director must have held Olivia Hussey look-alike auditions for this part. It's just a shame that they didn't hire an acting coach to work with her.

It's a dead giveaway that Amazon Prime offers this version for free but still charges for the 1968 edition.
