Review: Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston look for clues and laughs in a strained ‘Murder Mystery’
LA TimesFilm Critic It spoils nothing to point out that “Murder Mystery,” a painless, mostly mirthless action-comedy starring Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston, ends with an explicit homage to Agatha Christie. Christie herself remains a hot commodity, as evidenced by recent screen adaptations of “And Then There Were None” and “Murder on the Orient Express.” Even still, we are well past the days when Hollywood churned out classical detective yarns by the dozen for an audience hip to their geeky, creaky puzzle-solving pleasures. For anyone who mourns those days, the mere idea of a daffy, spoofy “Clue” knockoff, with two popular American stars heading up a large international cast, might sound like a reasonably enticing prospect. ------------ ‘Murder Mystery’ Rating: PG-13, for violence/bloody images, crude sexual content and language Running time: 1 hour, 36 minutes Playing: Streaming on Netflix [email protected] | Twitter: @JustinCChang
