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.

It’s a movie made for the Instagram set. But it could be worse, at least it’s not made for TikTokers.

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.

Newell is the best cast addition, and has the potential to break out from this, but Paul Feig seems to lose track of them halfway through the film. I didn’t need another favor this quickly, nor will I ever again.

The best thing about “Another Simple Favor” is that it is perfect escapist fare to kick off the summer, set in gorgeous Capri, Italy. The worst thing about “Another Simple Favor” is that it is terrible.

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.

After the drama from 1st movie, Emily (evil Blake Lively) is released from jail as Stephanie is promoting her book about Emily. Emily blackmails Stephanie into coming to her Italy wedding with her new beau. The 2 women seem to hate each other. Lots of drama as usual: Emily's ex-hubby is murdered, then Emily's new fiance is murdered right after she marries him. The FBI is now following Step around as they know she's in danger, but they're useless. Emily's mean mom shows up with her aunt Linda. It turns out, Emily's mom had triplets but Linda stole 1 baby after helping w/ the birth. Raised the girl Charity as her own. Charity is the one killing ppl, she claims she did it for Emily. She loves Emily & wants them to live life together. Linda is after money. Just as Linda is trying to kill Emily, Charity pushes Linda off the cliff. But Charity is arrested for murder. Steph is still famous for her vlog. Emily gives son to Steph to raise as she's in hiding. The 2 girls like each other again :)

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

While the change of location is fun and the cast is always watchable but this time around the central mystery is not as compelling and half as fun with an big twist that is so nonsensical that it almost makes the film pointless. A major disappointment

This movie as a direct squeal isn't worse than the first but certainly isn't better. This movie follows an interesting mystery but the script could've used some more work. I do hope that we get a third one as these movies have proven to be intriguing and lots of fun at times. I believe this squeal is worth watching if you like the first.

First movie was good, second movie was just created to give Blake Lively more screen time. Anna Kendrick was good but as a whole it was a weird snore.
