Murder Mystery

Aniston and Sandler, paired before in 2011’s "Just Go With It," relax into their roles as if their only stake in Mystery is to enjoy the free trip to Italy and have fun running down cobblestones.

The movie proves a cheery enough diversion, during a summer movie season leaden with underwhelming blockbuster offerings.

With competent but unspectacular direction from Kyle Newacheck (“Game Over, Man!”) and an entertaining supporting cast, Murder Mystery does just enough to keep audiences engaged until its goofy mystery is solved.

It’s rarely clever enough to be funny nor frightening enough to be suspenseful; leaving it to sag like Sandler’s cargo shorts.

One could imagine a context in which some of this belabored mayhem might be funny, maybe a dinner-theater stage with lots of booze and a strong audience-participation element. Seen from the vantage of your living room, however, the spectacle of Aniston and Sandler bumbling their way through one strained, busy set-piece after another becomes a deflating, even depressing experience.

Murder Mystery is a dud, stained with slack humor and a total unwillingness to play within its own chosen genre.

The new movie is dumb, pointless and completely bereft of laughs. It wastes a talented cast and all of your time. Worst of all, though, it is unconscionably lazy, starting with its generic title (again, who is naming these things?) and ending with its shrug-of-the-shoulders climax.

This movie is everything you would hope for in a comedic murder mystery. The movie was full of over the top and subtle comedic moments. Adam and Jennifer's roles were on pair with their better films and the over all feel of the movie was fun and exciting and keep me focused through the whole filme.

I definitely did not love “Murder Mystery”, but it wasn't absolutely terrible. Certain things were well thought out. If it had a different director or editor, I could actually imagine this being pretty decent. I give it a C, if you've already seen the best, but you insist on watching a movie, try this one out.

With an interesting cast, a predictable and cliché but always entertaining plot, decent jokes and a fairly good ending, Murder Mystery is a surprisingly fun watch. Although it is far from being a good comedy, it's still a more than decent movie.

It could be fascinating movie, but once again we got boring, predictable and stupid film. It's extremely painful to see Aniston and Sandler trying to act. They should to start looking for more challenging projects because they are wasting their talents.

One of the most nuanced example set for women empowerment, Sandman has got what these big banners would kill to have for; Aniston will solve it, though. Murder Mystery I try and always give credit to the creators or directors at first, before I start on saying something about the film. But over the years, with plenty of films and other appearances on stages or shows, the Sandman- as Sandler claims himself to be- has remain Sandman all the way through, untouched and unfiltered with only a couple of exceptions. And just like all of them, this one too is a Sandler film. With that same unorthodox method and repetitive familiar jokes and goofy flirty language, the film suffers the same consequences. My brother is a huge fan of his and over the years we have had our fair share of debates. And what this has accounted with, is material against procedure. Adam Sandler is an amazing comedian, and so is his comic timing in his films. But the film, no matter of comedy genre, cannot simply run on gags. The film defines, asks, it to be a collaboration of simply good work from all accounts. Whether it be execution or narration. The goofiness is tolerating, in fact, it is encouraged in a world like such. But the lack of concentration on the state and vocab and command over the characters is never negotiable. My brother often turns down the discussion by announcing it as an escape route from the real world- as any fan would- that has been bugging you for an entire week. But is it really enchanting or engaging enough to get lost? Even an amateur film buff finds it hard to swallow these clunk of rocks, set and told, as the final polished product. So where does this project in Sandler's catalogue lies? Murder Mystery is not his finest or most ambitious work of all but it certainly shines the Sandman label clear and bright with gorgeous locations and his middle age crisis.
