Another Simple Favor Reviews

Oh my god does the director have an incest kink I’m so serious

This was pretty good. Blake lively pretty much plays herself except the only thing she’s ever murdered is her career. Good movie though. A great balance of humour and thriller

Another simple sequel. I liked some elements and disliked others. I should have rewatched the first movie, but I'm glad I didn't because it would've made the plot even more predictable than it already is. I'm always ready to watch a Paul Feig project, not just for the comedy but for the dynamic character dynamics. The entire cast, including the uncharismatic, were entertaining. I didn't like the unnecessary straight-to-streaming feel. It felt rushed, cheap, and way too clean. The jokes are a little bizarre too. Overall, I prefer 1 but would still watch 3. Also, those outfits were crazy.

Imagine having 3 Blake lively I’d drink my life away too lol

Damn these bitches are immortal or something? Also isnt that the guy from that ONE porn movie?💀💀💀💀💀💀

as much as she’s probably a cunt irl, blake is a phenomenal actor. that’s the best part of this movie, the cast/acting - i thought anna kendrick’s performance outdid her first in every way, and allison janney wasn’t bad. but, it’s slow, predictable, and feels like they spent more time and money on the set design and wardrobe than the story development. it had a couple shockers and laughs but overall was just kind of a bland sequel. 6/10 i expected and hoped for so much better

(i’d still watch a third bc mommy is sexy)

WEIIIIRRDDDDD..what’s with twincest 😭 why do they keep multiplying blake.. you could soo tell blake chose her wardrobe 😭 she acts the same in everything..the plot was so random yet predictable wasn’t exactly shocked.. loved that it was in italy tho x

Hot DAMN this was GOOOOOOD

Not even 5 minutes in and a grown man tells a little girl (that can’t be more than 10 years old),

“Young lady, please don’t get pregnant.”

Absolutely irrelevant to the movie. Disturbing..

Better than the first

Don’t really remember the first movie but this one was good and worth watching it more, funny

wtf was the pregnant thing..
anyways, the movie was pretty predictable, but it had some good scenes. Would not watch again

DNF after blake said the word c*nty

Liked the storyline besides the weird kissing scene with the twin I am a identical twin and it made me uncomfy

Just as bad as blakes acting

The clothing choices and story lines were painful but there were some redeeming scenes. I found myself laughing several times but it felt like a low budget film that was thrown together during a week long trip to Italy.

Good lord. This movie was all over the place. Roomies and I had to discuss what was going on so many times. Wardrobe choices were crazy Blake! Gave us a good laugh. I liked the maid, icon.

Started off slow but the second half had me hooked. A lot better than I was expecting. Ending makes me think a 3rd movie is coming but don’t know how many “simple favors” there can be. 7/10

Although a little predictable at times, I still really enjoyed this movie. It was sassy, funny, and entertaining so I was happy!

I was intrigued by the film's dark humor and complex plot, and enjoyed watching the return of beloved characters. Directed by Paul Feig and starring Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively, this black comedy mystery film follows Stephanie Smothers as she travels to Italy for Emily Nelson's wedding.
