Notably, the reviews of Murder Mystery, while not necessarily stellar, have been far more positive than Sandler’s other Netflix comedy films.
For example, on Rotten Tomatoes, The Ridiculous 6 has a critics score of 0 percent, The Do-Over sits at 10 percent, and Sandy Wexler boasts a 27 percent. Murder Mystery, however, comes closest to the “Fresh” rating than any of the others, nabbing a 47 percent.

“Aniston and Sandler, paired before in 2011’s Just Go With It, relax into their roles as if their only stake in Mystery is to enjoy the free trip to Italy and have fun running down cobblestones,” EW film critic Leah Greenblatt said of the movie.
“It’s no Punch-Drunk Love, but it’s on the better end of the spectrum when it comes to Sandler’s streaming selections,” Polygon’s Karen Han added.
