Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston in a still from 'Murder Mystery 2"

Spoilers ahead... 


Nick Spitz (Adam Sandler) and Audrey Spitz (Jennifer Aniston) after getting famous in their previous chance detective case at their 15th anniversary vacation, have been struggling since then to make money out of new cases and failed detective agency. They couldn't have asked for a break at a better time when Maharajah (Adeel Akhtar) invites them at his wedding. We already know what happens when Spitz's goes at an invite, in this case, Maharajah gets kidnapped and we have another whodunnit. 

It was so adorable to watch Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston try to dance on Indian wedding songs, and some good choice of music too like the 'Ghungroo' War track or some punjabi ones. How Audrey tries to fill her plate full of food and then feels guilty later. And when Nick-Audrey are remembering how they gifted flip-flops on their wedding while they are getting new Iphones here. I so wish that this was a film totally based on the Indian wedding setting and didn't shift into the Paris locales, Eiffel tower etc which sadly it does after 10 so minutes. 

Would sound like a repeating record, Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston are once again great to watch for their amazing chemistry and comic timing, yet they are offered poor dialogues and situations to be part of. I think the laugh out moment for me was when Audrey is worried that Colonel is going to have no arm left way he keeps trying to save people. Also, the way she mimics that weird laughter of one of the characters. 

If I felt the other characters were not interesting enough in last film Murder Mystery, then this one is even worse in that regards, not a single likeable character except for Francisco (Enrique Arce) who plays a lusty guy and keeps coming onto Audrey giving some awkward yet fun moments. Just to remind, Enrique is our very own Arturo from Money Heist. What's worse this time around is that the case is more silly and it won't take long before you can deduce the possible killers. 

Some of the fun moments I found were Nick using whale noises as his alarm tune, I even liked the ringtune he had set 'an Indian punjabi track' for Maharajah, who probably must have helped him in that. The puzzle way of suggesting to pick the damn gun and shoot in the van from Nick was another funny sequence. Also, how last time around Nick missed driving Ferrari and it's a Lamborghini this time.

Overall, Murder Mystery 2, I would mainly remember for the Indian wedding scenes, way below average and not really the kind I would even wanna watch again for guilty pleasures. I would prefer a better lighthearted whodunnit movie than this. 

My Rating : 4.5/10
