Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) It’s a movie made for the Instagram set. But it could be worse, at least it’s not made for TikTokers. Rated: 2.5/5 May 27, 2025 Full Review Kyle Logan Chicago Reader Another Simple Favor essentially plays out the shift from art to “content” in real time, but there is still a little art here. May 9, 2025 Full Review Christina Tucker Autostraddle 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. May 8, 2025 Full Review Asia Frey Lagniappe (Mobile, AL) 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. Rated: D Sep 27, 2025 Full Review Marissa Hill Shade Studios 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. Jul 30, 2025 Full Review Tim Miller Cape Cod Wave Magazine This go-round, the Italian scenery and the Kendrick-Lively repartee are pluses, but returning director Paul Feig places too much emphasis on silliness to go with the increasingly absurd plot.

Brent H 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!" Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/02/25 Full Review Torin F 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/23/25 Full Review Tisa T 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. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/08/25 Full Review Lera S What a terrible movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/03/25 Full Review Jamie M During the film, my friend got up to go to the bathroom and we asked if she wanted us to pause it. She said "please don't, I don't even have to go, I just want time to speed up to the part where this movie is over." That sums up how we all felt about it. And no, we didn't make it until the end. We decided to enjoy our lives instead. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/27/25 Full Review VITALII H So 7 years later they released the sequel. To be completely fair, the first part of the movie was a boredom. This is a thriller/comedy movie. The problem is that there is no comedy whatsoever. Thriller? Yes, but somewhat trying to be "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery" (2022) but not getting on that level... But when you add Capri to this mess and great gowns beautiful gowns we get a nicely polished film. It's definitely better than the first movie which I rewatched a couple of years ago and I realized that the movie was kinda weird and enjoyed it much less than the first time I watched it. I felt like I outgrew it for some reason. Don't be very hyped and don't have big expectations. But in general it was pretty enjoyable. The direction and editing was impressive!
