Netflix continues to debut new movies on Fridays that have the quality of a big screen film. This week Adam Sandler premieres his latest film from Happy Madison Productions Murder Mystery, Starting Sandler (Nick Spitz) and co-star Jennifer Aniston (Audrey Spitz).

This Rom-com pokes fun at the genre while still paying homage to Agatha Christie’s mysteries, the screenplay by James Vanderbilt, have all the character types associated with the genre including: the family patriarch and his much younger fiancée (who may or may not have her eyes on his wealth); the socialite; the spurned son; the foreign dignitary; the world-class athlete who seems to not speak English; the stolid bodyguard; and so on and so forth.

Nick and his wife Audrey go to Europe to celebrate the wedding anniversary but find themselves in a whodunit situation after accepting an invitation from a mysterious stranger, Charles Cavendish (Luke Evans) to stay on Billionaire Malcolm Quince (Terence Stamp) yacht for the weekend. Quince ends up dead following his announcement to his relatives and friends.

In a twist of fate, it’s up to Spitzes’ to solve the mystery after being framed for the murder. Who better to clear their name than a police sergeant, and a reader obsessed with mystery novels. Nick and Audrey are essentially are the audience participating in the most over the top dinner party game, filled with guesses of the killer’s identity, piece together clues, culminating in the classic car chase scene about three notches down from the Fast and Furious franchise.

Sandler deliveries on that lucrative ongoing partnership with Netflix, after some forgettable and lackluster film. A few hidden gems in the film are Boon a sardonic detective who blows smoke rings wherever he goes and Akhtar the maharajah, introduces himself to the Spitzes by bowing three times, as they awkwardly reciprocate, he burst into laughter and says “when a brown person bows, white people bow back” playing on the tropes of stereotypical characters or turning them on their head.

Murder Mystery is now streaming on Netflix.
