Murder Mystery Reviews
Not all bad. It’s just bad as a murder mystery. What does it say about a thriller if its best parts are not the actual murder or the clues that lead you to the killer, but the squabbling, grumbling interactions of a bored, middle-aged couple?

It’s not fresh enough to be called original and not smart enough to be called a parody.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 24, 2022
I'm not criticizing character development or anything like that, I just kicked back... and watched a good movie.

With a plot reminiscent of Murder on the Orient Express, only this time on a Mediterranean yacht, Murder Mystery has a summer vibe that combines thriller and comedy.

A good cast tries to carry this mediocre film.

It would be welcome to see more movies between them in the same vein, even if Murder Mystery was a bit of an uninspired trek...
| Original Score: C+ | Jan 8, 2020
Murder Mystery is neither a comedy nor a mystery. It's just bad behavior masquerading as mass entertainment.

The problem with this movie is it's just not funny. I don't know if I even laughed one time.
| Original Score: 3/10 | Aug 21, 2019
If you have 90 minutes to kill, Murder Mystery will tick the boxes for easy entertainment.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 14, 2019
It's almost as if the creators couldn't be bothered to develop the scenario beyond a slapdash first draft.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 22, 2019
Little grey cells aren't required to enjoy this pleasant trip into the comedy-mystery genre. [Full review in Spanish]

Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler are no strangers to comedy, so they try their best. But most of their comic banter falls flat.

...a decent premise that's employed to passable (if entirely forgettable) effect...
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 4, 2019
The best that can be said of Murder Mystery is that it's a mildly amusing experience that won't offend but will most certainly evaporate from the mind soon after.

Critics are right - the film isn't great.

The only mystery left to solve is how a comedy boasting an all-star cast can be so dull and lifeless. [Full Review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 27, 2019
The biggest mystery soon becomes: why make this movie in the first place? Besides to give these hardworking actors an overseas vacation.
| Original Score: 4/10 | Jun 27, 2019
The Aniston/Sandler spark we have seen before is somehow missing in this pedestrian dramedy. You expect more but you get less.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Jun 27, 2019
Some of the good things about this film is it's not way too long like some Netflix films. Also the presence of well-known actors like Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston give it more laughs.
| Original Score: 4 | Jun 25, 2019
Thanks to a deft, funny script by James Vanderbilt and brisk direction by Kyle Newacheck, this throwback comedy turns out to be an easygoing charmer.
