This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie was pretty decent for a adam sandler movie, although it does have have unrealistic expectations. First of all i'm pretty sure you're not suppose to get off your seats, even if you wanted earplugs. Second of all what type of famous or rich person befriends a cop and his wife of 15 years. It was also pretty unwatchable for me if it includes a scene that's too embarrassing for me to watch (like the scene were Malcolm who asks "who are you?") also it was pretty predictable. I predicted that fact that other people die in this movie, but on the other note, the movie was pretty decent although half bad. i'll give this a 6 out of 10… Expand

I definitely did not love “Murder Mystery”, but it wasn't absolutely terrible. Certain things were well thought out.

The premise of this whole film felt like it would have worked in 80s and 90s comedies, however just doesn't cut it in the 21st century. Though the idea was interesting, the bickering American couple trope is so cliche.

With an interesting cast, a predictable and cliché but always entertaining plot, decent jokes and a fairly good ending, Murder Mystery is a surprisingly fun watch. Although it is far from being a good comedy, it's still a more than decent movie.

Since a long time Adam Sandler hasn't had a Box Office hit, recently, he tends to make a stupid movies not befitting him, "Murder Mystery" is dumb and pointless, it wastes a talented cast, Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston last seen togetherSince a long time Adam Sandler hasn't had a Box Office hit, recently, he tends to make a stupid movies not befitting him, "Murder Mystery" is dumb and pointless, it wastes a talented cast, Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston last seen together in "Just Go with It" and actually it was more funny than this one.

The Story is similar to "Murder on the Orient Express" but in a funny way, most jokes were stupid thus the performance was same.

It's just the kind of movie to turn on one night when you're looking for something fun, silly, and a little mysterious.… Expand

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.

It has been fruitful after all with the exception of Hotel Transylvania 3 all the actor's latest films have been in the streaming service including ''The Meyerowitz Stories''; The only film in which he did a good job since ''Reign Over Me''

But honestly after all this time it's pointless to call most of his work disappointing. He knows what he sells and the audience consumes it, so anything else I could mention about that it's just irrelevant.

This new film simply follows the comedic formula of everything he does and I've gotta say it because frankly I'm not a fan of his work and maybe for Netflix and for him this will be considered a success, I really don't know but for me it's a another boring film and another forgettable film for Netflix's catalog and for the actor's career.

Jennifer Aniston? I guess she was there for the paycheck and because he's her friend. Other than that there's really nothing worth mentioning.… Expand

Esta nueva oportunidad de trabajo de Adam Sandler y Jennifer Anniston carece del carisma y química que "Just go with it", y es porque la película tiene un guión flojo que falla en darle los tintes de romántica o de acción.
"Murder Mystery" esEsta nueva oportunidad de trabajo de Adam Sandler y Jennifer Anniston carece del carisma y química que "Just go with it", y es porque la película tiene un guión flojo que falla en darle los tintes de romántica o de acción.
"Murder Mystery" es la historia de un policía y una peluquera que se hallan en medio de un asesinato, y es su deber limpiar su nombre de la lista de sospechosos mientras buscan al verdadero culpable.
La trama aunque ya vista puede funcionar si el grupo y las pistas son lo suficientemente bien jugadas para hacer que uno pueda seguir el misterio por su cuenta, pero aquí se desperdicia esa conexión haciendo del misterio algo sólo de los protagonistas.
Si hay que darle unos puntos positivos es gracias a la comedia, no es de la mejor, pero por partes se las arreglan para hacer reír.
En general no puedo recomendarla a pesar de que me guste la química de la pareja, el problema pasa por la estructura del film que poco le otorga al espectador.… Expand

Murder Mystery can be good fun at best, but it's mostly a clichéd, generic and forgettable summer comedy.

this movie was unfortunately a let down, the humour wasn't great and I wouldn't recommend watching this if your looking for a comedy.

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

Construcción de lo más típica pero es fácil de ver. Si ha sido un gran estreno en Netflix por algo será.

· Cosas buenas: el reparto mola bastante, tiene algunas ocurrencias molonas y lo dicho, fácil de ver y guay si es con amigos.
· Cosas malas: la comedia es muy forzada, aunque tiene toques que te pueden hacer reír si estás de cachondeo. En general la construcción de la película erra bastante.
· Conclusión: hay muchas mejores películas de este estilo para ver con amigos, aún así, si no se os ocurre nada más, está bien para echar la tarde.… Expand

It was a decently funny romp, the plot and pacing is just so wild and so illogical that its hard to stay grounded in the mystery at all.

It’s a fun movie. It’s silly and enjoyable. It’s nothing ground breaking but it is fun.

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.
