Enjoyable lightweight comedy (possibly sponsored by Claritin!) from Adam Sandler that benefits greatly from the presence of the often under-rated Jennifer Aniston. They play a couple who finds themselves in the middle of the kind of old-fashioned murder mystery plot that Aniston's character loves to read. The film plays on genre tropes to decent effect and Sandler reins in the annoyance quotient, although given today's climate of gender sensitivity it's likely that vaguely ditzy female characters like Aniston's - who can pause in a moment of panic to admire some nearby wallpaper - will soon go the way of murders in the library with a candlestick.
