Chick Flick Chat

It isn't often that I'm left speechless, but after watching Murder Mystery 2, I was at a loss of how to discuss this film on Chick Flick Chat. The second movie murders all the joy, fun, and adventure of Murder Mystery 1. Sad to say, but very true, my apologies to Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler. See my earlier Chick Flick Chat covering the first of this franchise whereI had high hopes and expectations for the follow up film. Time...

What can I say about this surprisingly great film? A lot!

The actresses work seamlessly together, with Judith Ivey, Claire Foy, and Rooney Mara, carrying what is a disturbing, tragic, and amazing true story.

Two spoilers in this Chick Flick Chat, I do chat about the whole story, and FYI:...
