Movie NationRoger MooreJun 15, 2019
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

Los Angeles TimesJustin ChangJun 14, 2019
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.

The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeJun 14, 2019
A tale as generic, and as dull, as its title. Read full review

The New York TimesElisabeth VincentelliJun 14, 2019
Aniston and Sandler have a goofy, relaxed rapport that is often amusing despite the film’s best efforts to smother any sign of verve. Read full review

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

Murder Mystery is the kind of lazy and uninspired trash that can only be made by someone who knows that it doesn’t matter; bad movies are made all the time, but precious few pieces of content are so content to breathe in their own foul stink. Read full review

Even with a title this generic, there’s less to Murder Mystery than meets the eye. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Barry HertzJun 14, 2019
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
