Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler’s New Netflix Movie Looks Like a Riot
Clear your calendars, people: The Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler Netflix movie is arriving in June, and it looks hilarious.
The first trailer for the film dropped on Friday, April 26. Titled Murder Mystery, it centers on a New York City police officer (Sandler) who finally takes his wife (Aniston) on a long-promised European vacation. While on the flight they meet a mysterious, handsome stranger (Luke Evans) who has connections to some very rich, powerful, and famous people. He invites Sandler and Aniston’s characters to spend the weekend on a billionaire’s yacht—but when said billionaire winds up dead, they become the prime suspects. Thus a murder mystery is born.
This is the second time Aniston and Sandler are teaming up for a project. The actors first joined forces in 2011’s Just Go With It, which had Sandler playing a plastic surgeon who enlists his assistant (Aniston) to pose as his ex-wife in order to impress a much younger woman (Brooklyn Decker). Though that movie wasn’t well-received by critics, it did prove Aniston and Sandler have some great comedic chemistry.
You can see this clearly, again, in the trailer for Murder Mystery. These two minutes alone confirm we’re in for a high-jinks-filled roller coaster. Check out the teaser for yourself, below:
This is Aniston’s second film for Netflix. She made her debut on the streaming platform in Dumplin‘, a feel-good comedy about the fraught relationship between a former beauty queen and her plus-size daughter (played impeccably by Danielle Macdonald). Up next for her after Murder Mystery is the Apple limited series The Morning Show, which also stars Reese Witherspoon.
Sandler, meanwhile, has appeared in several Netflix originals, including The Week Of, Sandy Wexler, The Do-Over, and The Ridiculous 6.
Murder Mystery arrives on Netflix June 14. Let the countdown begin.
