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.

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

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.

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

Another Simple Favor proves that more (and bigger) is not better, and takes the time to prove it repeatedly over the interminable runtime.

It was fine. I like the characters and the twists so I'll probably watch the next one.

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.

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.

Not a fan at all. Ridiculous outfits, terrible acting from blake lively, disgusting incest sex scene, just really silly all around.

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.
