Murder Mystery 2 (2023) Netflix Film Review
Four years after falling into a vacation murder mystery where nearly everyone around them dies, husband and wife duo Nick and Audrey Spitz (Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston) are struggling. Both have quit their jobs to open a private detective agency. The only cases they have are cheaters and even those don’t go well. Then a call from the past comes in and it’s for a wedding invitation to the wedding of The Maharajah (Adeel Akhtar).
The two, needing a break and hoping this helps, decide to take the all paid invitation not realizing they’re about to fall into more mayhem.

Full of the same antidotes and silly humor, this is very much a good match for the genre and its prequel. There’s many of the same throwbacks to movie one and the actors bring the same humor we know from these characters. It helps to keep the continuity and yet, the plot is different enough to be fun. murder mystery 2
There’s a mix, which did surprise me, of old and new characters in this ensemble cast. I try not to read much or watch trailers if I know I’m going to see and write about something. Nonetheless it’s a pleasant surprise to find the return of characters and to meet new characters, too. Like spy capers, this one jet sets to a couple locales and has some beautiful scenery and costuming, too.
If you like Knives Out or even most of the Hallmark mystery movies, you probably would enjoy this. It’s a fun little movie that has adventure aspects but also a cute little mystery. It’s perhaps not the cleverest mystery play, yet it still manages to spin some things and that makes it fun.

CONTENT: This one has profanity including abuse of deity like GD and sh*t. There’s a use of the F-word. Some innuendo plays into the plot but nothing terribly graphic. (A man is constantly insinuating he’d like to sleep with someone and finds her body hot. A joke is made about him having a night with her for money. Recurring is a joke about pulling something, like a key, out of a man’s pocket.) There’s use of guns and someone is accidentally shot. Someone dies up by helicopter blades (unseen) and characters drop off buildings. Someone is stabbed. The film is PG-13.
I didn’t remember the first movie at all, but this was fun for a Saturday night!
SO FUN! I liked both movies. Not sure in this case I can pick a favorite because there are things about both that I liked. :)
My husband and I just recently watched the first movie. Perfect timing as a few weeks later, Murder Mystery 2 came out! Such fun! Hope they keep coming out with more movies! :)
They ARE fun. 90-some percent of the time I enjoy films like this because they know how to entertain and most of the time that’s all I want. :)
