“Murder Mystery” has quite possibly the most generic title for any film that I have ever heard. It’s allegedly a comedy movie and it stars Adam Sandler (“Happy Gilmore”, “Little Nicky”) and Jennifer Aniston (“We’re The Millers”), who previously appeared together in “Just Go With It”. However, it feels more like an excuse for a luxury holiday.

Nick (Sandler) and Audrey (Aniston) are an American couple that decide to finally go on a trip to Europe, over a decade after Nick promised he would take his wife. On the flight, they meet an eccentric and wealthy individual (Luke Evans “Dracula Untold”) and soon find themselves aboard a yacht. The murder of an elderly billionaire (Terence Stamp “Bowfinger”) leads to them becoming suspects. They are pursued by authorities as they try to figure out who the real killer is.

A private yacht, lavish food, the Monaco Grand Prix, a visit to Lake Como, a drive in a sports car and a snazzy tuxedo make it seem more like this was Sandler and Aniston treating themselves rather than wanting to make a decent film. Neither star has much talent and their chemistry is mediocre at best. Luke Evans is okay. It’s sad to see the great Terence Stamp appear in such an underwhelming picture. The dreadful David Walliams (“Stardust”) has a mercifully brief appearance.

I’m sure it was a blast for Sandler and Aniston to soak up the warm weather of the Mediterranean and the sights of Europe but for the audience, this is a rather mundane comedy flick. It’s a bit like “Clue” but thankfully not quite as bad. There are a few jokes in here that are vaguely amusing but that’s seriously about all the praise that I can give to this very lazy film. It’s forgettable so it will not continue to annoy me like “Little Nicky” or “Eight Crazy Nights” but Sandler shows that he is getting incredibly unprofessional. It’s like he doesn’t even care about trying to make it look like he wants to make a real film.
