Jennifer Aniston & Jodie Turner-Smith attend LA ‘Murder Mystery 2′ Film Premiere!

Jennifer Aniston and Jodie Turner-Smith light up the red carpet in metallic looks for the premiere of Murder Mystery 2 held at Regency Village Theatre on Tuesday (March 28) in Los Angeles

The two actresses stunned at the event, next to co-stars Adam Sandler, Mark Strong, Melanie Laurent, Jillian Bell, Kuhoo Verma, Zurin Villanueva, Enrique Arce, Annie Mumolo and John Kani.

Director Jeremy Garelick, writer James Vanderbilt, and Adam‘s wife, Jackie Sandler, were also spotted at the event.

During a round of press interviews, Jennifer called out Adam for wearing a sweatshirt to the event.

“What the hell are you doing?!” she reportedly asked him. “I’m not standing next to him. Sweatpants.”

He then said that she “texted me, ‘Please wear your sweatshirt.’”

“I said, ‘Please don’t wear your sweatshirt,” she corrected him.

Adam Sandler may have done some impressive action sequences in “Murder Mystery 2,” but it sounds like he’s not jumping at the chance to do his own stunts again anytime soon.

The actor tells me he underwent hip replacement surgery not long after he and Jennifer Aniston wrapped the follow-up to their original “Murder Mystery” comedy.

“My god damn hip, I had to change that at the end of the movie,” Sandler told me Tuesday at the film’s premiere at the Regency Village Theatre in Los Angeles. “I had been doing so many movies in a row. I did ’Spaceman’ and I was hanging in harness all the time. I kept saying, ‘Something’s going on with my hip, man. I’m in trouble.’ And then during this and this other movie I did I was like, ‘Yeah, I definitely gotta x-ray that thing,’ and we were in trouble.”

Even though “Murder Mystery 2” director Jeremy Garelick described some of Sandler’s work as “Tom Cruise kind of stuff,” the funny man insists he’s not looking for a part in a “Mission: Impossible” flick. “Everything’s scary at 56 years old,” Sandler said. “You never know what the hell you’re gonna get up from. I’m sluggy, man. My body hurts. Jennifer is in good shape. I didn’t think I needed to get in shape before the movie but then when we were shooting, I was like, ‘Man, I should have gotten in shape.’”

It certainly didn’t look like anything was wrong before he hit the carpet for interviews. Sandler spent about 30 minutes signing autographs for most of the fans who lined almost two blocks across the street from the premiere. “I gotta try to do as many as possible because I don’t want someone getting mad that I didn’t sign theirs but I signed others,” he explained.

Even if Sandler praised Aniston for being in “good shape,” the “Friends” star said she injured herself during her last day of shooting. “I had a back injury about three years ago and it got really pissed off when I was in the harness,” Aniston said. “It was literally the last thing I shot. It was one of those things where you wake up the next day or two days later and you’re like, ‘Wow, that got bad.

The “Murder Mystery 2” star weighed in on modern fans finding “Friends” “offensive” nowadays as Jennifer Aniston weighs in on the evolution of comedy.

The “Friends” alum addressed how the world has changed since the 1990s sitcom aired. “There’s a whole generation of people, kids, who are now going back to episodes of ‘Friends’ and find them offensive,” Aniston revealed.

“There were things that were never intentional and others…well, we should have thought it through, but I don’t think there was a sensitivity like there is now,” Aniston added.

“Friends” has been criticized for its lack of diversity. The series aired from 1994 to 2004.

“Comedy has evolved, movies have evolved,” Aniston shared. “Now it’s a little tricky because you have to be very careful, which makes it really hard for comedians, because the beauty of comedy is that we make fun of ourselves, make fun of life.”

The “Murder Mystery 2” actress said, “You could joke about a bigot and have a laugh. That was hysterical. And it was about educating people on how ridiculous people were, and now we’re not allowed to do that.”

Everybody needs funny! The world needs humor! We can’t take ourselves too seriously. Especially in the United States. Everyone is far too divided.”

Comedians like Brett Goldstein, Jerrod Carmichael, John Cleese, Rowan Atkinson, and Hannah Einbinder have all recently slammed the concept of cancel culture targeting comics. Atkinson said it’s especially “comedy’s job to offend,” while Cleese compared it to the “death of creativity.”

“You can do the creation and then criticize it, but you can’t do them at the same time. So if you’re worried about offending people and constantly thinking of that, you are not going to be very creative. So I think it has a disastrous effect,” Cleese said in July 2022. “If you go to a Republican convention and tell anti-Democrat jokes, you’ll get a very good response. If you tell anti-Republican jokes, you won’t. So you’ve got to fit your material to some extent to your audience. And that’s part of it… If you go to see your granny and to have tea with her, you don’t start telling her sex jokes. Now that’s not because it’s illegal, it’s just bad manners.”

Here’s the full summary for the movie: Now full-time detectives struggling to get their private eye agency off the ground, Nick and Audrey Spitz find themselves at the center of an international abduction when their friend the Maharaja is kidnapped at his own lavish wedding.

Murder Mystery 2 is now out in select theaters and will premiere on Netflix on March 31.
