Adam Sandler’s Whodunit Shtick Wears Thin in Murder Mystery 2

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 10:49:35 GMT

If prizes were given out for stupidity at the movies, Adam Sandler would be a contender. Possibly the most childish actor in Hollywood, he has simultaneously raised the status of farce and created laughter at his own expense. Even as a serious actor, Sandler plays the fool, and in Murder Mystery 2 he takes to the role like a detective on the case.It’s not the first time we’ve seen Sandler in the part of Man Child (see: Murder Mystery 1), but it’s one of the few times he’s asked to be idiotic as well. While he’s known for his broad characters, this time he goes broader than usual, which doesn’t always work to the film’s benefit. Still, there is much to enjoy in this Netflix caper, and if you squint hard enough at the screen you may even convince yourself that you’re watching a Glass Onion reboot.There’s all the elements of a Benoit Blanc riddle, just with a whole lot more banter thrown in the mix. When we catch up with Nick and Audrey S...

I just loved a good song it didn’t matter where it came from — if it made me feel something inside I embraced it.I got a fake I.D. at 17 and I started going to dance clubs with my sister on the weekends. One of my sisters friends had an apartment and I was there one night, and this song “Midnight’ was playing. There was a very rich soulful voice (Allison Moyet) starting the song a-cappella and I could not stop listening. I thought it was so interesting to hear such a soulful voice over electronic music and the words and melodies sucked me in as well.I found out what record that song was on and went out to purchase Upstairs at...
