My quick rating - 6,2/10. After watching the Mark Twain award presentation for Adam Sandler, they reminded me quite a few times that the sequel for this one was coming soon so I figured I better dig into that new release folder and check this out. I am always up for a good old-fashioned mystery flick and this is really all this sets out to be. Teaming with Jennifer Aniston the couple has perfect comedy chemistry on screen and the script offers them ample time to be pretty damn funny. As a couple, their marriage makes for such great jokes during the yacht trip they luck their way into. But being the odd people out on a cruise for a family with Luke Evans as a rich heir. He meets the dynamic couple and invites them to join. Just knowing the movie title can explain what that invite was for. So yes, they find themselves in the middle of a murder that takes a decent amount of twists to keep you guessing. But starting off as being the prime suspects was no surprise. The action is fun and well done to keep the audience entertained while the constant misdirection keeps you wondering. With a nice Netflix-size budget, we are also treated to some great locations for this one be on foot and during car chases. It is often we are treated to such entertainment that isn't trying to astound you with effects are try and win awards, but just make you laugh while you try and guess the killer. Often silly and surely not plausible but still worth checking out.
