I've never been a huge fan of Adam Sandler, but I thought 'Murder Mystery' may be worth checking out, especially since Jennifer Aniston rarely gets a fair shot on the big screen any longer. While not as horribly unfunny as most of Sandler's recent efforts, the film never takes off as cleverly as it wants to be. Balancing humor during situations involving death is always a tricky task, and for most of the film, it fails to pull out all the laughs. It's one of those films that you have to believe they knew was not as good as they're presenting, making for more of a "so bad it's good" story. In all, I laughed some, I cringed more. I would probably avoid this one if I were you.
