Murder Mystery

Release year: 2019
My Rating: ★★★ out of 5

Tagline: First class problems. Second class detectives.

Synopsis: On a long-awaited trip to Europe, a New York City cop and his hairdresser wife scramble to solve a baffling murder aboard a billionaire’s yacht.

We're in the endgame now!

Murder Mystery is a perfectly fine, enjoyable Adam Sandler movie in the vein of late-2000s/early-2010s Sandler comedies. You won't be overly impressed, but you probably won't be disappointed either. It gets the job done.

Of all Adam Sandler pairings, Jennifer Anniston is definitely one of the best. They have good chemistry and match vibes pretty well. Unsurprising that they brought her back after Just Go with It.

I can't say there's too much memorable here, but there's a fair amount of laughs, and it's pretty fun to see the straight-men Sandler and Anniston weave their way from the Clue/Knives Out-type mystery they got themselves into.

Ultimately, better than most I've needed to sit through over the past decade of Sandler movies.
