This isn't really that funny until the last five minutes, the scene where they guess who the killer was.. Until then, it's a lot of hammy improv stuff (talk in French, pretend you're Bulgarian). The unscripted element pays off at the end though ("He was a quarterback and then he was Santa").
I do like that it is short, though, And there really was a mystery after all. I didn't pick up on any of the clues and neither did the actors (or neither did Jason Bateman, who was the only one there for the key interview). Bateman himself delivers a few good lines (like when he chastises Davidson for laughing at the fake character name).
