They apparently maxed out every credit card to open a private eye business, but their work as private investigators is middling at best, which only puts further strain on their marriage. Nick (Sandler) and Audrey (Aniston) Spitz are attempting to capitalize on their success after solving the murder case from the first Murder Mystery film. Perhaps it's time to quit while you’re ahead, as they say. Somehow, that movie got a sequel greenlit, and in a twist more surprising than anything in Murder Mystery 2, it's actually a great step up from its predecessor, which maybe doesn’t say much. 2019’s Murder Mystery was a forgettable murder mystery that gave him the chance to team up with Jennifer Aniston again after 2011's Just Go With It.
