2.5/5
It’s a movie made for the Instagram set. But it could be worse, at least it’s not made for TikTokers. Go to Full Review

Another Simple Favor essentially plays out the shift from art to “content” in real time, but there is still a little art here. Go to Full Review
Christina Tucker Autostraddle May 8
All in all, it’s a mostly fun time (that one scene notwithstanding) and the costumes are honestly worth the price of admission, along with the stunning shots of Capri’s landscape and narrow streets. Go to Full Review

59/100
Newell is the best cast addition, and has the potential to break out from this, but Paul Feig seems to lose track of them halfway through the film. I didn’t need another favor this quickly, nor will I ever again. Go to Full Review

The best thing about “Another Simple Favor” is that it is perfect escapist fare to kick off the summer, set in gorgeous Capri, Italy. The worst thing about “Another Simple Favor” is that it is terrible. Go to Full Review

Another Simple Favor is a dazzling disappointment—a sequel that banks on Blake Lively’s star power and a parade of jaw-dropping outfits but forgets to bring a compelling story. Go to Full Review

T H @Justme1231 19h I absolutely loved A Simple Favor! It was a fantastically stylish and thrilling ride from start to finish. The story, centered on a seemingly perfect suburban mom and her mysterious, suddenly vanished friend, was filled with brilliant twists and turns that kept me guessing until the very end. The dark humor was perfectly balanced with the suspense, creating a unique and captivating tone. Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively were phenomenal, delivering charismatic performances that made the dynamic between their characters truly magnetic. The film's aesthetic was impeccable, from the chic fashion to the sleek production design. The direction was sharp and the soundtrack was just as stylish as the visuals. It's a must-watch for anyone who loves a good mystery with a generous helping of wit! See more Melissa L @Agent99 6d I had viewed "A Simple Favor," and couldn't wait to see the sequel. I think it's pretty darn good for a sequel. Forget all the bad ratings...watch this! See more Brent H @BrentMHinson Dec 2 The only logical conclusion I can propose for Anna Kendrick, Blake Lively, and Paul Feig returning for a follow-up to 2018's "A Simple Favor" is that they were contractually obligated to make this sequel. It's either that, a humiliating contractual obligation, or they simply wanted an easy payday while enjoying the spoils of filming in Capri, Italy. How they made this convoluted script into a two-hour movie is something people in film school should examine as a case study of the elements that make a truly awful film. While the film frustratingly wasted the talents of both Allison Janney and Elizabeth Perkins, that wasn't the most frustrating part. The single most infuriating thing about this whole ordeal is that somebody read this script and thought, "Let's make this movie!" See more Torin F @nonlinearize Nov 23 ANOTHER SIMPLE FAVOR is a flabbergasting mess of a film, with such inconsistency of tone, humor, or story that it seems stitched together from various short clips of different attempts to make a single movie. It's somehow a product of a brainrot social media sensibility, in other words. There is actually a "plot" here based on a terrible cliche premise, which comes to light more than halfway through the flick, and excuses absolutely nothing. A total waste of talent, location, effort, and viewers' time. See more Tisa T Nov 8 Really enjoyed this movie, I really like Anna and Blake’s chemistry. The sense of humor is always on the “dark” side laced with sarcasm, which I like. I’m not really into slap-stick humor. Just an FYI - There is a Reddit group that like Justin, and they are taking turns criticizing ANYTHING with Blake or Ryan in it and leaving fake 5 star rating for Justin. Yes, people are psycho.
