Nicola R No offense to Lively but the sibling thing here is tired. It felt like Serena was visiting from GG and she can be such a better actress than this. Would have been better served if Kendrick's character had to deal with someone new. Try again and spend your time cleaning house or trying to follow one of the shoes recipes. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/19/25 Full Review Joel C "Another Simple Favor," the sequel I awaited with the kind of breathless anticipation usually reserved for a fresh episode of Dateline where the spouse definitely did it. It was a thrill to hear Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively were reprising their roles, presumably after their characters attended a masterclass in how to systematically unlearn the art of acting. One can only assume the rest of the returning cast got a group discount. The real masterstroke, however, seems to have been handing the screenwriting duties over to our new AI overlords. The resulting script is a glorious, pixelated vomit of what a machine thinks human audiences crave after binge-watching every derivative thriller ever made. It's a meticulously calculated, yet utterly soulless, retread that has all the organic charm of a chatbot trying to express genuine human emotion. "Insert witty banter here," the script probably read, "Ensure plot twist every 7.5 minutes for optimal audience engagement." If you were hoping for the dark, twisted fun of the original, prepare instead for a journey into the uncanny valley of filmmaking. Written by an AI that was fed nothing but rejected Lifetime movie scripts and the diary entries of an angsty teenager who just discovered what "plot twists" are. The twists are telegraphed with such aggressive obviousness, you'll feel less like a detective and more like you're patiently waiting for a toddler to find an Easter egg you placed directly in their line of sight. So, I'll be over here, basking in the comforting glow of Keith Morrison's narration, patiently waiting for a movie that doesn't feel like it was conceived in a server farm. This? This was less a simple favor and more a cinematic cry for help. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/19/25 Full Review Megan K I was intrigued for the first half, bewildered the second. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/19/25 Full Review Audience Member Terrible all the way around. Terrible acting and super cringe storyline. Loved the first one, this one should have never been made. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/18/25 Full Review Bernardo G Mantiene la Intriga pero se vuelve un poco lenta en ciertas partes. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/18/25 Full Review PJ F So much fun! Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick are as charming as ever! The fashion is fire, and and many funny moments. If you loved A Simple Favor you will forgive a few plot holes, just to see more. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/18/25 Full Review Read all reviews
