A Simple Favor

About This Movie

A Simple Favor is a blend of comedy, mystery, and thriller that really keeps you on your toes. Paul Feig’s direction gives it this sharp, stylish look, while the performances by Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively add layers to their characters. Kendrick as Stephanie is this relatable mom, and Lively’s Emily is intriguingly elusive—there's this constant push-pull between them. The film has a playful, yet dark undertone, with clever twists that seem to pop up just when you think you’ve got it figured out. The pacing balances humor and suspense nicely, making it a ride that’s easy to consume but layered enough to think about. Plus, the little nods to vlogging culture are fun and relevant, adding a modern twist to the classic 'who-done-it'.
