Critics Consensus

Sailing through on the strength of its predecessor, Another Simple Favor is the perfect cocktail of mystery, intrigue, and sharp casting with a dash of well-timed comedy.

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.

Feig directs the picture without much of a feeling for Capri, one of the most beautiful places on earth, but which here might as well have been a studio backlot.

Rated: 1.5/5

But neither Favor ever promised an insightful look at real-life crime adventures, making it enjoyable to hang around for the finale.

The Film Yap

Anna Kendrick has screen charm to spare, and Blake Lively wears the hell out of a shirtless suit. But the convolutions of the plot are too much in this sequel with plenty of style and little spark.

Rated: 2.5/5

In happier news, Another Simple Favor is still fun. It’s just not very good. While it might not live up to the standard of the first film, it keeps true to its spirit, even if it’s less of a carefully constructed puzzle and more a vibe.

Quite possibly one of the worst movies I’ve ever started to watch. Only made it to 15 minutes before the awful dialogue had me cringing so bad I had to switch it off. Kendrick is usually great to watch but struggled with her trying to be a ‘bad bitch’ alongside Lively’s ….well…I’m not even sure how to describe Lively outside of just awful. A budget SJP from the early SATC days, and it shows, her acting in this is abysmal

This was a fun movie. I really enjoyed the first one,but hesitated with the second due to low scores. I am glad I gave it a chance. I pride myself on solving mysteries,long before the end of the film. Not this time,not even close. It has the same charm of its predecessor,without duplicating the plotline. It even rewrites the first in a way. If you think you know everything, well you don't. Similar to Happy Death Day 2,a surprising sequel that didn't harm its roots,in fact expanded . Give it a chance. Trust the critics. Over 60 percent isn't bad. I would give this film 4.5 stars. Very entertaining and fun.
