Adam Sandler's latest film

In 2019, Netflix released Murder Mystery where Sandler co-starred with Jennifer Aniston. The film was generally slated by critics, with a not-too-brilliant 46 percent rating on review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes. NBC's Ani Bundel seemed to sum things up perfectly on behalf of entertainment writers across the globe, saying, somewhat savagely: "Murder Mystery has so far received mostly bad reviews since its Netflix premiere on June 14. And critics are right - the film isn't great... There's nothing particularly interesting or clever about the plot. Aggressively mediocre might be a more apt description."

But then 73 million households tuned in, so perhaps the critics don't know everything after all.

So, whether you like Adam Sandler or not, it's clear that he has a massive following which has made him a massive amount of money.
