When an NYC cop (Adam Sandler) finally takes his spouse (Jennifer Aniston) on a long sworn European tour, a chance meeting on the aircraft gets them asked to an intimate family get-together on the Super Yacht of ageing billionaire Malcolm Quince. When Quince is slaughtered, they become the key suspects in a modern day whodunit.

Simple plot, worthy performances, jokes that land — all the elements of the movie work fine. Great chemistry from the lead characters and the rest of the cast are hilarious and well placed. The action scenes were pretty decent and should preserve its action comedy fans happy. The jokes were all well placed and often and they won’t disappoint fans of the genre, not too much toilet humor and back to the good old Sandler days. Don’t count on anything serious, it’s just a light one to sit back with your popcorn and enjoy the movie.
