MurderMystery2 Review: Aniston & Sandler Lead An Unfunny, Boring Murder Mystery
Murder Mystery was released in 2019 and, according to Netflix’s own reporting, was a smash hit. This solidified Adam Sandler’s relationship with the streaming company; he would later sign a new development deal with them. With more movies to come, Netflix is banking on two things, Sandler’s undeniable star power and his ability to make semi-entertaining movies with all-star casts.
Murder Mystery 2 has little going for it. Sandler's recent flicks have dropped in quality compared to his work in the 1990s and early aughts. Except for the beautiful locales and occasionally fun casting choices, films from Sandler’s production company, Happy Madison, are nothing more than amusing little trifles.
John Kani’s Col. Ulenga only exists for jokes about his missing limbs. Mélanie Laurent’s Claudette is the bland love interest that might as well have been the victim since she is neither a compelling suspect nor particularly sympathetic as the worried love interest. Mark Strong, who has shown that he can be funny, is utterly wasted. Jodie Turner-Smith simply exists to be beautiful and snotty. There is no character work, and the stakes are meaningless.
