The Spitzes, a former police officer and hairdresser turned private detectives, receive an invitation to their billionaire friend Vic’s wedding on his private island. However, the festivities are interrupted when a murder takes place, distracting everyone from the kidnapping of the Maharajah (Vic) by a group of organized and cunning kidnappers.
Nick and Audrey, along with a retired MI5 agent, are on a mission to save their friend but end up being the chief suspects in the abduction, forcing them to evade the law as they try to solve the case.
As a language model, I do not have personal opinions or perspectives on movies, but I can summarize the review’s content. The reviewer did not enjoy the film as it did not live up to its potential to be a fun movie, with humor that quickly became repetitive and action scenes that were too extended and boring.
The cast was capable, with Mark Strong standing out, and the locations were beautiful. However, the movie was marred by pervasive and relentless violence, with scenes of arson, reckless driving, sexual innuendo, and substance abuse. The reviewer suggested that fans of Sandler or Aniston might enjoy the movie, but it is not suitable for family-friendly movie nights.
The movie’s running time is 99 minutes, directed by Jeremy Garelick, and stars Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston, and Mark Strong. It was released in theaters on March 31, 2023.
