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. Read full review

A surprisingly nimble summer comedy that finds both Aniston and Sandler at their most charming. Read full review

The mystery itself is rote and, despite its jokey foreshadowing and its constant winks to the audience, never smart enough to really work as a genre parody. Instead, the movie just breezes along on the strength of Aniston and Sandler’s easygoing rapport. Read full review

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

Slack direction just makes Murder Mystery groan along when a little pacing, as ALWAYS, would have covered up some of the other shortcomings. Read full review

A tale as generic, and as dull, as its title. Read full review

Barry Hertz

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. Read full review

A delightful romantic comedy with some great character actors who really shine. Anniston and Sandler have wonderful chemistry together and it is the first enjoyable film from Happy Maddison that I’ve seen in a very long time.

It's no Game Night, but easily the best of the Sandler/Netflix collaborations thus far. It's almost up to the same level of quality that once saw the comedian dominating the box-office back in the day. The production values and concept are on point. It just needed better jokes.

Not that it isn't funny. Sandler and Aniston's chemistry ensure that things remain amusing throughout. They're just never hilarious enough to elevate the movie above anything more than the kind of easy watching time passer that Netflix regularly churns out.… Expand

Murder Mystery is undeniably schlocky fun, but, despite its short runtime, it struggles to get itself going. Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston as Nick and Audrey Spitz work the same, and the film largely depends on whether you’re a fan of theirs (I’m fifty/fifty, given their limited range).

Plot beats and chemistry are missing from the first third of the film, and, for many, when they improve, it might be too late. Persevere, though, and the comedy begins to hit, the thrills finally manage to pulse, and some genuine heart comes shining through to finish on a satisfying note.

The film has a few fun moments. Quite okay for an evening, but there are clearly better offshoots in this genre.

Not great, but still worth watching. If this wasn't on Netflix, I would have expected more, but if the only realy expense here is your time, it's worth watching.
