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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

I absolutely loved the first movie and have called it an ultimate favorite so there was no critic harder than me to impress, and yet I loved the sequel equally! Only the trio of Feig, Lively and Kendrick could accomplished this! I even hope for a third movie but only if the entire group sticks together in this genius and zany universe where sarcasm reigns supreme!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Could have been better. Predictable and boring. Tried to be more of comedy than a mystery. Lost its charm from the original.
