Four years later and the sequel to Murder Mystery has finally arrived on Netflix. The sequel picks up a few years after the first one and finds Audrey and Nick are trying to become their own detectives when they get roped into another murder scheme, when the Maharajah is kidnapped.
I must say the mystery in this film is better then the first and there are quite a few twists and turns that I must say I didn’t see coming. That said with the likes of Knives Out it’s very hard to watch a Murder Mystery without it being up to that quality.
The special ingredient that makes this film work is obviously the chemistry between Jenifer Anniston and Adam Sandler. They are absolutely great together and are just the perfect comedic paring. The fact they have known each other so long really helps to sell the bind they have on screen together and they are what makes this move such a good time.
This film also had a lot of frat locations, especially in Paris as it’s just beautiful. It was also nice swing Paris after just watching John Wick 4 and also seeing him cause absolute carnage in Paris as well.
There were certain scenes here that just stood out as being absolutely hilarious. The first one being just after the murder and all of the suspects keep entering Audrey and Nicks room and they have to keep finding them different places to hide. The way Jennifer and Adam played this was great and just seeing Nick keep having to block and unblock the door was hilarious. Another of my favourite scenes was when when they were in the van in Paris and just causing absolute chaos, from trying to fight the kidnappers to driving the van all over Paris, it was just a lot of fun.
Overall this is a fun sequel that raises the stakes from the first film and with Jenifer Anniston and Adam Sandler front and centre you know you are in for a fun time.
