**Warning: Spoilers for “Murder Mystery 2″**
Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston starred in the Netflix original movie, “Murder Mystery.” That was a movie based on a couple who decided to go on a trip for their anniversary. They were invited on a huge private yacht and took the opportunity to join. While on board, a guest is killed. And then another, and another. Nick and Audrey (Sandler and Aniston), as well as the rest of the passengers, are determined to solve the mystery by finding who was the murderer. In the end, they successfully discovered the truth.
This year, a sequel to this comedy/thriller was released again by Netflix. The expectations were high based on how amazing the first movie was, and “Murder Mystery 2” exceeded those expectations. Before I begin, this writing will contain spoilers.
The sequel started off where Nick and Audrey were traveling for Adeel’s wedding, a friend who they met in the first movie. Adeel is Indian, which is important because the wedding theme was all based on Indian culture. During the wedding reception, Adeel was making his entrance riding in on an elephant, when guests realized that the body on the elephant was not Adeel, and someone had captured him and was currently on the run with him. Everyone fled the scene because of fear, besides Nick and Audrey, the bride, another close friend, and Adeel’s sister.
They immediately contacted authorities and started speculating. Only a few people knew he would be participating in the elephant entrance, so the one who did this had to have been one of the select people who knew the inside details of the wedding. The kidnapper called and offered a ransom, saying to bring 30 million dollars to get the groom back. The cast goes through a crazy adventure trying to figure out who the kidnapper was, and Nick and Audrey even get framed. They prove everyone wrong when at the very end of the movie Adeel’s sister was revealed to be guilty. Audrey put together a few really small details that I did not catch at all or even think of. No one saw this ending coming, and this review doesn’t at all give justice to how entertaining and funny the movie was.
Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston are such a power couple, starring in many other movies together and giving viewers such a great time while watching their movies. If you are thinking about watching this movie, definitely do so and experience the enjoyable movie for yourselves. Giving this movie a rating, it would totally be 5 out of 5 stars.
