Ugh. While Knives Out was clever and well plotted, this decided a few cheeky scenes could cover up the lack of attention to plotting and story. They don’t. It is the perfect warning for anyone who succeeds and believes everything they read about themselves and then does not feel the need to put in the effort. Major disappointment. All of the sly plotting of the first one was tortured or simplistic in this one. I guess there was never a Murder By Death sequel to crib from.
