The Best Jennifer Aniston Movies on Netflix - Netflix Tudum
What could be better than having a movie night with one of your Friends?
Jennifer Aniston will forever be known for the hit sitcom and her portrayal of the lovable Rachel Green, but there’s also much more to enjoy from her TV and film résumé. Up next from the star is Murder Mystery 2, the follow-up to her and Adam Sandler’s 2019 comedy-mystery. The film sees her and Sandler’s characters once again jetting around the world as they set out to crack a new case.
As you mark your calendars for the arrival of Murder Mystery 2 on March 31, read on to see which other films you can queue up on Netflix for your very own Aniston Film Festival.
Murder Mystery 2
Aniston and Sandler are back as Nick and Audrey Spitz, who must solve another mystery — in hilarious fashion, of course. After uncovering the murderer of billionaire Malcolm Quince in the original Murder Mystery, the Spitzes have set up a private eye agency. Although it’s not going as planned, they soon are thrust into a scandal that will put their business to the test. The Maharajah (Adeel Akhtar), whom they befriended during their first jaunt as international detectives, goes missing at his own wedding. Thankfully for us, Nick and Audrey bring their amateur, screwball detective skills to this latest caper.
Murder Mystery
See how the Spitzes got their start in detective work in the first Murder Mystery. Aniston stars as Audrey, a hairdresser, and Sandler plays Nick, a New York police officer. Nick has a penchant for stretching the truth with his wife, such as telling her he made detective and booked a trip to Europe for their 15th anniversary. Not wanting to disappoint Audrey, Nick hastily plans a vacation that’s sidelined when a billionaire invites them on a yacht trip. What ensues is an Agatha Christie-esque whodunit — one the Spitzes find themselves trying to solve.
Dumplin'
BOB MAHONEY/NETFLIX
Aniston loves a good comedy or rom-com, but she can also take a turn for the dramatic, as she does in the coming-of-age film Dumplin’. She stars as Rosie Dickson, a former beauty queen and perennial Miss Teen Bluebonnet Pageant organizer for her small Texas town. Her daughter, Willowdean “Will” Dickson (or Dumplin’, as Rosie calls her), has always felt her mother is resentful of her size. So, as a protest to her mother and pageants in general, Will enters Miss Teen Bluebonnet. The feel-good film, which is based on the Julie Murphy novel of the same name, also stars Odeya Rush, Dove Cameron and Bex Taylor-Klaus.
Storks
EVERETT COLLECTION
The folk story that babies are delivered by storks is at the heart of this animated feature. Aniston lends her voice to the character of overprotective mother Sarah Gardner as part of a star-studded voice cast that also includes Andy Samberg, Kelsey Grammer, Ty Burrell, Keegan-Michael-Key and Jordan Peele. After decades of storks from Stork Mountain delivering babies around the world, the stork CEO switches from delivering babies to dropping off packages. Tulip, a human that couldn’t be delivered and was adopted by the storks as a child, tries to bring stork delivery back for Sarah’s son, Nate, who wants a sister. Aniston and her voice castmates help deliver a bundle of laughs in this family-friendly flick.
Cake
EVERETT COLLECTION
In another showcase of her dramatic bona fides, Aniston stars in Cake as Claire Bennett, a woman who survived a car accident that killed her son. Struggling with chronic pain, Claire becomes addicted to pain medication. After a member of her chronic pain support group dies by suicide, Claire’s addiction worsens and she becomes even more isolated from friends and family. Aniston’s portrayal of Claire earned her Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild award nominations.
Friends with Money
What’s it like navigating a friendship when there’s significant income disparity? That’s the premise of Friends with Money, which opened the 2006 Sundance Film Festival. Aniston stars in the dramedy as Olivia, a house cleaner in Los Angeles. She’s always struggling to make ends meet, while her friends Franny (Joan Cusack), Christine (Catherine Keener) and Jane (Frances McDormand) are financially well-off — but have other struggles of their own.
Along Came Polly
Things take an unexpected turn when Reuben Feffer (played by Ben Stiller) explores the road not taken in the rom-com Along Came Polly. Reuben lives a very safe life — that is, until he catches his wife (played by Debra Messing) having sex with a scuba instructor on their honeymoon, and, well, that discovery makes him question everything. He reconnects with Polly Prince (played by Aniston), a former middle school classmate. The two are as different as can be: Reuben is a risk assessor who is uptight and never takes any risk while Polly is a free spirit. They strike up a romance that’s as incompatible as it is hilarious. Philip Seymour Hoffman also stars as Reuben’s best friend, Sandy.
