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 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. Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 22, 2025 Full Review Clotilde Chinnici FILMHOUNDS Magazine And as far as sequels go, it is a successful one in the way it heightens the stakes, explores new elements of the characters' stories, while also leaving space for the audience to be surprised within the familiar structure and setting. Rated: 3/5 Jul 19, 2025 Full Review Dave Giannini Geek Vibes Nation Another Simple Favor proves that more (and bigger) is not better, and takes the time to prove it repeatedly over the interminable runtime. Rated: 3/10 Jul 19, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Mike M It was fine. I like the characters and the twists so I'll probably watch the next one. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/26/25 Full Review Deborah S This was weird and uncomfortable to watch, made even more so due too many lines that seemed to be referencing the lead actress’ current legal situation. The dialogue is poor, the acting is off, but the upside is places chosen to shoot are gorgeous. It felt like a 2-hour improv session, which is painful on its own. I believe most of their lines must have been made up on the spot, because there is no way many of the actors saw this script and said “yes”. Plus, the kids lines we’re so off and out of place! I loved the first one, which was exaggerared, ridiculous and hilarious. And I feel they *tried* to do this, but ended up making a parody of it? I don’t know why they went in this direction. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/25/25 Full Review Sedale S Some fun things here, just doesn’t maintain the standard of the previous film and feels like a shallow shell of it’s former self. Almost feels as if they treated this as a fast-food knockoff to the restaurant quality of the first film. It honestly feels like a parody of the first movie to me. It’s basically the same creative team and yet it feels disingenuous to the spirit of the first movie. Not to say this movie lacked zero redeemable qualities, some good laughs and good performances. However, a lot of reused plot points from the first movie and none of the pay off. It feels like it was fast tracked into pre production and that this was an in between project for everyone involved. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/22/25 Full Review Leana Myra P Not a fan at all. Ridiculous outfits, terrible acting from blake lively, disgusting incest sex scene, just really silly all around. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/17/25 Full Review Alyssa A. This was so over the top the jokes were too forced it was beyond cringey in many moments. I really did like the first one, this one felt like an unnecessary sequel. It was hard to make it through the whole movie. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/14/25 Full Review Sarah C Controversy aside, this film was fine. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/11/25 Full Review Read all reviews
