Critics Consensus

Murder Mystery reunites Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler for a lightweight comedy that's content to settle for merely mediocre.

Murder Mystery's predictability and cliches are comforting - which has entertainment value if you're not looking to be challenged for 90 minutes.

Rated: 2.5/5

Watching Murder Mystery is a slog, and I still can't comprehend how the same dude who wrote Zodiac wrote this, and oh, did I mention this movie steals one of its final reveals from Legally Blonde?

It's no Punch-Drunk Love, but it's on the better end of the spectrum when it comes to Sandler's streaming selections.

Not all bad. It’s just bad as a murder mystery. What does it say about a thriller if its best parts are not the actual murder or the clues that lead you to the killer, but the squabbling, grumbling interactions of a bored, middle-aged couple?

It’s not fresh enough to be called original and not smart enough to be called a parody.

I'm not criticizing character development or anything like that, I just kicked back... and watched a good movie.

This won't be on many lists for all time greats, but it does about what you'd expect. It has a few laughs, you get to see some weird characters, and enjoy a few attractive people in beautiful locations. The plot is a little absurd, but you can't say you didn't see that coming. It's a take on the old who done it films and follows it with twists and turns, some unexpected, some delightful. The ending is a bit on the ridiculous side but this may be one of the more plausible Adam Sandler movies out there. And it doesn't involve his usual cohort of buddies who are in every single movie he's Sandler is in.

I found this to be a great movie. I'm always skeptical about Adam Sandler flicks, as I am generally not a fan. However, this movie was surprisingly well done. It is absolutely a spoof. Some people didn't seem to grasp that. Witty and fun spin on the Agatha Christie murder mystery genre.
