Taking a stock of the situation, Conan teased Adam for his choice of clothing and asked why he was dressed so casually.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Conan roasted him and said, &ldquo;Adam, what are you wearing? You&rsquo;re dressed like a guy playing video poker at 2 a.m.&rdquo;</p>
<h2><strong>Adam Sandler's reply to Conan's roasting</strong></h2>
<p>To this, Adam Sandler replied, &ldquo;Nobody even thought about what I was wearing until you brought it up. I like the way I look. Because I&rsquo;m a good person. I don&rsquo;t care about what I wear and what I don&rsquo;t wear. My snazzy gym shorts and fluffy sweatshirt offend you so much that you had to mock me in front my peers!&rdquo;</p>
<p>The segment then saw Adam Sandler deciding to leave the Oscars ceremony but not before yelling one nominee&rsquo;s name &ndash; Timothee Chalamat.&nbsp;</p>

Such a sweet funny guy! Adam Sandler remembers his Happy Gilmore co-star Bob Barker

<p>Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler are two stars who manage to stand out in every film every frame, irrespective of how the film is. You will like them for their wit, charm, and the energy they bring to every film. Aniston and Adam collaborated for the first time in 2011 on the rom-com <em>Just Go With It, </em>which tanked at the box office. After a long gap, in 2019, the pair again came together for the Netflix film <em>Murder Mystery</em> - the film which was panned by the critics but won the hearts of the audience.<br />
<br />
The film became one of Netflix's most popular films and audiences loved Aniston and Sandler's pairing, however, it was criticised for its lazy writing, direction, plot, and other things, nevertheless, it was a hit. Now that Aniston and Sandler are back with the much-anticipated second part of their whodunnit drama, the expectations are high, but will it meet the audience's expectations, as the first did? Or it's just merely another addition? Let's find out.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-explained--controversy-around-friends-a-classic-sitcom-or-a-relic-of-a-less-diverse-era-577770">Explained | Controversy around Friends: A classic sitcom or a relic of a less diverse era?</a></p>

<p><strong>What's the story?</strong><br />
<br />
After solving a murder mystery in Europe, Nick (Adam Sandler) and his wife Audrey (Jennifer Aniston) have left their full-time jobs as a cop and a hairdresser and become full-time detectives. However, their new life as detectives has not made them millionaires and they are now financially struggling. While the couple is doing everything possible to make ends meet, they get a call from an old friend (from the first film) The Maharaja, aka Vik, (played by Adeel Akhtar). Vik is getting married and invites the couple to his luxurious island wedding.</p>

<p>The couple arrives for the big fat Indian wedding where everything is just a dream for them—there is a helicopter, elephants, a king-size suite with a picture-perfect location, an iPhone as a gift, and whatnot. However, everything turns awry when Vik gets kidnapped before his sangeet ceremony. This a moment for Nick and Audrey to shine as they take up the case and try to uncover the truth behind Vik's disappearance. &nbsp;How Spitz solve&nbsp;the mystery and bring Vik back from the clutches of kidnappers makes the rest of the story.<br />
<br />
Everyone is a suspect for them at the wedding- &nbsp;Claudette (Enrique Arce) Vik's fiance, Saira (Kuhoo Verma), Vikram’s sister, Nick’s ex-Countess Sekou (Jodie Turner-Smith) and her friend Imani (Zurin Villaneuva).</p>

<p><strong>Story - the weakest point</strong></p>

<p>In comparison to the previous film, which somehow kept the audience glued to the screen with twists and turns, this one fails to keep you hooked. Going by the title, the film has neither murder nor mystery.<br />
<br />
Written by James Vanderbilt, the one-and-a-half hour-long drama is full of unnecessary cliches. The main plot of the film seems predictable and jaded. The movie is lazily written and exaggerated with a twist that seems silly.</p>

<p>Directed by Jeremy Garelick, the film though starts off on a promising note and gives a sense that something intriguing is undoubtedly on the way but what you get ultimately is a major letdown. When compared to the first part, this one feels farfetched.</p>

<p>The action in the film, especially the climax sequence, is over-the-top. The writers have tried to salvage the plot with humour, but that falls flat.</p>

<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LM2F56uK0fs" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-dungeons--dragons-honor-among-thieves-review-a-hilarious-action-packed-romp-577750">Dungeons &amp; Dragons Honor Among Thieves review: A hilarious, action-packed romp</a></p>

<p><strong>How's the cast?</strong></p>

<p>Adam and Jennifer are the only good things about this film. The star couple, who has worked together in the past are known to be good friends off-screen and that translates well on screen. Their witty conversations are endearing and authentic.<br />
<br />
The Indian wedding setup, Bollywood high-beat songs, Jennifer in Manish Malhotra's lehenga—everything looks good, but what addition does it bring to the movie? Well, nothing!</p>

<p>At one point, the film and the plot are difficult to digest, whether it's the climax sequence in the Eiffel Tower, dialogues, or fights. As you reach the end, you feel that every scene is loaded with extra drama.</p>

<p><em>Murder Mystery 2</em> ultimately seems loud, the writing is juvenile, and it takes away all the fun that Jennifer and Adam were even trying to bring to a drab script. The fun part of this film vanishes very early, and all you are left with is a chaotic plot that lacks the thrills. Watch it only if you are doing nothing this weekend. <em>Murder Mystery 2 </em>is streaming on Netflix.</p>

Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler are two stars who manage to stand out in every film every frame, irrespective of how the film is. You will like them for their wit, charm, and the energy they bring to every film. Aniston and Adam collaborated for the first time in 2011 on the rom-com Just Go With It, which tanked at the box office. After a long gap, in 2019, the pair again came together for the Netflix film Murder Mystery - the film which was panned by the critics but won the hearts of the audience. The film became one of Netflix's most popular films and audiences loved Aniston and Sandler's pairing, however, it was criticised for its lazy writing, direction, plot, and other things, nevertheless, it was a hit. Now that Aniston and Sandler are back with the much-anticipated second part of their whodunnit drama, the expectations are high, but will it meet the audience's expectations, as the first did? Or it's just merely another addition? Let's find out. Explained | Controversy around Friends: A classic sitcom or a relic of a less diverse era? What's the story? After solving a murder mystery in Europe, Nick (Adam Sandler) and his wife Audrey (Jennifer Aniston) have left their full-time jobs as a cop and a hairdresser and become full-time detectives. However, their new life as detectives has not made them millionaires and they are now financially struggling. While the couple is doing everything possible to make ends meet, they get a call from an old friend (from the first film) The Maharaja, aka Vik, (played by Adeel Akhtar). Vik is getting married and invites the couple to his luxurious island wedding. The couple arrives for the big fat Indian wedding where everything is just a dream for them—there is a helicopter, elephants, a king-size suite with a picture-perfect location, an iPhone as a gift, and whatnot. However, everything turns awry when Vik gets kidnapped before his sangeet ceremony. This a moment for Nick and Audrey to shine as they take up the case and try to uncover the truth behind Vik's disappearance. How Spitz solve the mystery and bring Vik back from the clutches of kidnappers makes the rest of the story. Everyone is a suspect for them at the wedding- Claudette (Enrique Arce) Vik's fiance, Saira (Kuhoo Verma), Vikram’s sister, Nick’s ex-Countess Sekou (Jodie Turner-Smith) and her friend Imani (Zurin Villaneuva). Story - the weakest point In comparison to the previous film, which somehow kept the audience glued to the screen with twists and turns, this one fails to keep you hooked. Going by the title, the film has neither murder nor mystery. Written by James Vanderbilt, the one-and-a-half hour-long drama is full of unnecessary cliches. The main plot of the film seems predictable and jaded. The movie is lazily written and exaggerated with a twist that seems silly. Directed by Jeremy Garelick, the film though starts off on a promising note and gives a sense that something intriguing is undoubtedly on the way but what you get ultimately is a major letdown. When compared to the first part, this one feels farfetched. The action in the film, especially the climax sequence, is over-the-top. The writers have tried to salvage the plot with humour, but that falls flat. Dungeons & Dragons Honor Among Thieves review: A hilarious, action-packed romp How's the cast? Adam and Jennifer are the only good things about this film. The star couple, who has worked together in the past are known to be good friends off-screen and that translates well on screen. Their witty conversations are endearing and authentic. The Indian wedding setup, Bollywood high-beat songs, Jennifer in Manish Malhotra's lehenga—everything looks good, but what addition does it bring to the movie? Well, nothing! At one point, the film and the plot are difficult to digest, whether it's the climax sequence in the Eiffel Tower, dialogues, or fights. As you reach the end, you feel that every scene is loaded with extra drama. Murder Mystery 2 ultimately seems loud, the writing is juvenile, and it takes away all the fun that Jennifer and Adam were even trying to bring to a drab script. The fun part of this film vanishes very early, and all you are left with is a chaotic plot that lacks the thrills. Watch it only if you are doing nothing this weekend. Murder Mystery 2 is streaming on Netflix.

Murder Mystery 2 review: Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler starrer is a big disappointment

<p>Adam Sandler placed his hand on the bronze bust of Mark Twain and speculated that it “one day might be the weapon used to bludgeon me in my sleep.”</p>

<p>A host of comedic and entertainment royalty gathered at Washington’s Kennedy Center as Sandler was presented with the Mark Twain Prize for American Humour.</p>

<p>Presenters including Drew Barrymore, Conan O’Brien, Chris Rock, Jennifer Aniston, Steve Buscemi, Dana Carvey, and Luis Guzmán gave testimonials to Sandler’s creative longevity while poking occasional fun at his uneven movie output and tendency to cast all his friends in his movies.</p>

<p>Sandler’s longtime writing and production partner Tim Herlihy joked that the pair were responsible for “31 motion pictures with a combined Rotten Tomatoes score of 59.”</p>

<p>Buscemi, known largely for dramatic and often violent roles, portrayed a string of comedic characters in Sandler movies.</p>

<p>“He takes his comedy very seriously. I laugh hard at everything I do with him,” he said.</p>

<p>Buscemi also singled out Sandler’s musical comedy, including <em>The Chanukah Song</em>,&nbsp;which became a multiplatinum hit. “His comedy songs alone deserve this reward,” he said.</p>

<p>Judd Apatow, Sandler’s roommate during their early days in Los Angeles, recalled a young Sandler’s boundless confidence and obvious talent.</p>

<p>“The moment you met him, you knew Adam was going to be a big star,” Apatow said. “And so did Adam.”</p>

<p>To highlight Sandler’s seemingly limitless comedic energy, Apatow played an old video he recorded of a young Sandler prank-calling a local deli in his spare time to try out different comedic voices.</p>

<p>At the end of the night, Sandler paid tribute to his parents and siblings for arming him with “that weird irrational confidence thing that I guess I still have”</p>

<p>Sandler, 56, first came to national attention as a cast member on <em>Saturday Night Live</em>.&nbsp;After being fired from the cast following a five-year stint, Sandler launched a wildly successful movie career that has spanned more than 30 films, grossing over $3 billion worldwide.</p>

<p>Sandler’s top hits include <em>Happy Gilmore</em>,&nbsp;<em>The Wedding Singer</em>&nbsp;and <em>You Don’t Mess with the Zohan</em>.&nbsp;Although primarily known for slapstick comedy and overgrown man-child characters, he has excelled in multiple dramatic roles in films such as <em>Punch Drunk Love</em>&nbsp;and <em>Uncut Gems</em>.</p>

<p>Guzman, who co-starred in “Punch Drunk Love,” admitted he originally thought Sandler was “out of his depth” in a dramatic role scripted by auteur director Paul Thomas Anderson. But he came away impressed and praised Sandler’s “total commitment to something that was so far out of his element.”</p>

<p>Other comedians who received the lifetime achievement award include inaugural honoree Richard Pryor in 1998, Whoopi Goldberg, Bob Newhart, Carol Burnett and Dave Chapelle. Bill Cosby, the 2009 recipient, saw his Mark Twain Prize rescinded in 2019 amid multiple allegations of sexual assault.</p>

<p>The comedy institution <em>SNL</em>&nbsp;has provided more than its share of the 24 Mark Twain recipients. Sandler is the seventh cast member to receive the prize, joining Bill Murray, Tina Fey, Will Farrell, Billy Crystal, Eddie Murphy, and Julia Louise-Dreyfus. Show creator and producer Lorne Michaels won in 2004.</p>

<p>The ceremony will be broadcast nationally on CNN on March 26.</p>

Adam Sandler receives Mark Twain Prize, praise from comic pals

<p>The trailer for Netflix's <em>Murder Mystery 2</em> was released recently. The original film, thanks to the charisma of the two lead actors (Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston), had quite a high number of views. Thus the sequel was greenlit. The two-and-a-half-minute clip promises another murder and this time the Spitzes (Sandler and Aniston essay married couple Nick and Audrey, respectively) have become actual detectives after their success in the first film. This time in another location. Apart from the usual mystery comedy high jinks, many fans of the actors have been thrilled by the Indian ethnic getups the two actors are wearing. Aniston in particular has impressed her Indian fans who have decided she looks absolutely gorgeous in the lehenga.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The central event this time is the wedding of the Indian Maharaja (Adeel Akhtar) on his private island in the Caribbean who, as per the trailer, seemingly gets murdered as he makes his grand entry on an elephant — as you do (but no, the murdered man turns out to be somebody else and the would-be groom has been kidnapped). You can see the trailer for yourself above.&nbsp; Akhtar also appeared in the role in the first film.</p>

<p>The synopsis of the film reads, "Four years after solving their first murder mystery, Nick and Audrey Spitz (Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston) are now full-time detectives struggling to get their private eye agency off the ground when they’re invited to celebrate the wedding of their friend the Maharaja (Adeel Akhtar) on his private island. But trouble follows the Spitzes again when the groom is kidnapped for ransom soon after the festivities begin — making each glamorous guest, family member, and the bride herself a suspect. MURDER MYSTERY 2 sends Nick and Audrey Spitz on a high-stakes case that finally gives them everything they’ve ever dreamed of: a shot at their detective agency finally becoming successful…and their long-awaited trip to Paris. The film is directed by Jeremy Garelick and also stars Mark Strong, Mélanie Laurent, Jodie Turner-Smith, Kuhoo Verma, with John Kani, and Dany Boon."</p>

<p><em>Murder Mystery</em>, as the title suggests, was a murder mystery in which the lead actors get entangled and become the main accused. The film was a hit with the audiences, but received mixed critical reception. On Rotten Tomatoes it scored 44 per cent. The critical consensus reads, "Murder Mystery reunites Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler for a lightweight comedy that's content to settle for merely mediocre."</p>

<p><em>Murder Mystery 2</em> releases on March 31, 2023.</p>
