Murder Mystery 2

Das zweite Abenteuer des Ehepaars Spitz schien mir qualitativ mit dem ersten vergleichbar zu sein, auch wenn der Zuschauer den Film mit Vorsicht genießen muss. Murder Mystery 2 hat wie sein Vorgänger wieder eine optimale Laufzeit, ist manchmal leicht amüsant, aber auch spannend (vor allem während der Fahrt im Lieferwagen). Sandler und Aniston sind mir nach diesem Film zwar nicht ans Herz gewachsen, aber am Ende waren sie mir egal, während ich Kuhoo Verma und Jodie Turner-Smith (mit ihrem Dienstmädchen) nervig fand. Ein entspannender und wenig anspruchsvoller One-Shot für genau einmal Anschauen! (17.05.2023)

Die Fortsetzung hat mich nicht enttäuscht. Der Film ist zwar actionmäßiger und verrückter, die neunzig Minuten einer leichten und entspannten Unterhaltung mit vielen gelungenen Sprüchen vergehen aber wie im Flug. Adam und Jennifer sind in dieser Komödie ein hervorragendes Paar und das Star-Team wurde geeignet ergänzt. Solche Filme kann man immer wieder drehen, sie werden sicherlich immer ein Publikum haben.

Last time the murders were on a yacht, now they're looking for kidnappers in Paris. And it's more or less the same boring movie, with Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston screaming cutely at each other most of the time, and capable actors standing around with nothing to do. Despite the 90-minute running time, Murder Mystery 2 drags a lot, because despite a stellar cast and a couple of unexpectedly decent action scenes, it's a routine that you'll forget by the next day. Even if it's not garbage, it's hard to find a reason to recommend someone spend ninety minutes of their life watching it. (05.04.2023)

I usually enjoy Adam Sandler's humor, but lately, it feels like he's just doing whatever he wants, regardless of whether the audience is entertained. The first Murder Mystery was a bit of a stretch for me, but I forgave it because there were a few genuine laughs. This time, though, I just can't let it slide. The screenplay is a mess and the whole thing is incredibly boring. It's like picking up a book you know is a B-grade, hoping to relax, but instead, it just gets worse and worse until you fall asleep.

If you have the Glass Onion, then we have the Eiffel Tower! The amateur detective couple quickly jumps into action before they’re forgotten. However, the whodunit puzzle is dull (virtually nonexistent), and the duo of Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston are, in terms of characters, the Cyclopses among Wonder Women, with humor ranging from diapered fauna to lascivious smoke signals, which brings more confusion than laughs. On the other hand, expecting anything different would be as foolish as thinking that the wind on the second floor of the pride of Paris would mess up Mark Strong’s hair. Another sequel? Hopefully, gravity will be against it. (09.06.2023)

Cheerful silliness for a good mood. It lacks the surprise moment of the first episode and the jokes are weaker, but that's what makes the crazy action and the level of luxury all the better. The whole intro makes it seem like the main stars have been spoiled by Netflix with new iPhones, beautiful dresses and an Indian dance they were the only ones who didn't have to learn choreography for. Sandler's a natural. (29.09.2023)

The first one was naively silly, but at least it was entertaining in places. The second one is just silly. I literally didn't laugh once, both the classic Adam Sandler humour and the classic comedy humour are completely missing here, Jennifer Aniston is also bland and the whole result is more of a contrived Netflix cashing in on the previous film's name. Boring, boring, boring. (06.04.2023)
