One of the worst kinds of movies molded for streaming. The kind that's just made to be background noise.

One of the worst kinds of movies molded for streaming. The kind that's just made to be background noise.

I don't want to sound condescending but it's just that both films, this one and its predecessor are mere vehicles for Adam Sandler's effortless comedy.
And it's that when he throws himself into these types of projects is when he stops being a humorous actor and borders on the line that makes him a buffoon.

It's the lame comedy that depends on the familiarity the audience has with its actors and their jokes to work properly.
Give this same awful story to better but unknown actors and you wouldn't even hear about it. That's how disposable Murder Mystery 1 and 2 are.

The first one was better. This one is entertaining but a bit too confusing. But I still enjoyed watching it! It's not bad, it's just not very good or clever either.

Don’t get me wrong, there are laughs to be had, but they are all cheap, one-off jokes. It pairs the ancient whodunnit plot with the ancient one-joke of ordinary people stumbling across extraordinary situations.

I've had a bit of a love hate relationship with Sandler over the years. Back in the 90s his brand of comedy worked well enough but over the years his man child character wore thin.

Back in the 90s his brand of comedy worked well enough but over the years his man child character wore thin. What I once found funny became amusing and then just grating. But he's still done a few decent movies scattered in there over the years.

The first Murder Mystery wasn't great but it also wasn't terrible. I mean I wouldn't watch it again but it was ok to pass 90 minutes. It's no masterpiece but it's better than most of his other movies.
And Murder Mystery 2 isn't really terrible. It's a "pass the time" movie. Not better or worse than the first. Just more of the same. And that's why it gets the low rating. They took the first script and changed a few details. This is basically the first movie with a different crime and locations. It's lazy.

Final Thoughts:

Rare for a schlocky comedy, Murder Mystery 2 rips out what held its predecessor back and smooths over the cracks with a slick, hilarious dramedy that wastes no time. Surprisingly sharp, Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston
Final Thoughts:

Rare for a schlocky comedy, Murder Mystery 2 rips out what held its predecessor back and smooths over the cracks with a slick, hilarious dramedy that wastes no time. Surprisingly sharp, Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston return as the Spitzes, sporting more confident chemistry and more confident performances. Joining them is better pacing which is bolstered by nicely directed action.

Overall, Murder Mystery 2 knocks it out of the park, combining focus and wit to make its title experience a well-rounded one.

Underwhelming, nonsensical, incohesive, unexciting load of absurdity.

Really bad an incoherent, the plot and mystery is below any sort of acceptable level. What is this a straight on action movie for and why is Adam Sandler fighting like John Wick?

Whatever. Boring as hell. Unfunny. What more would you expect from the "long awaited sequel" of the hit Adam Sandler movie, Murder Mystery. Adam, I liked Punch-Drunk Love. I liked Uncut Gems. Keep. Doing. Those. Please!
