Another Simple Favor continues with Stephanie Smothers (Kendrick), who’s built a new life following certain events, receiving an invitation. Emily Nelson (Lively), fresh out of prison, requests Stephanie to stand as her Maid of Honor for her upcoming Italian wedding.
In my perspective as a cinephile, the plot thickens when the former spouse of Emily’s character, Sean (portrayed by Golding), meets an enigmatic end. Intrigued by this puzzling demise, the protagonist, Stephanie, embarks on a risky journey that intertwines her life with Emily’s new circle.
Verdict on Another Simple Favour
Recap
The film narrates the story of Emily, fresh out of prison, who rekindles her relationship with Stephanie. Emily insists on making Stephanie her bridesmaid for an extravagant Italian wedding. But an unexpected demise triggers another power struggle.
Best Parts
The film presents a fresh enigma for us to unravel, accompanied by an awkward tension between the protagonists. It explores the disturbing concept of wealth being gained from misfortune. Anna Kendrick brings delight to the movie with a part that seems tailor-made for her unique acting abilities.
Worst Parts
The movie strives excessively to add an unexpected turn, but it comes across as contrived instead. Regrettably, it fails to deliver on this promise or provide any indication of this development in the earlier movie.
Final Thoughts –Another Simple Favour is saved by Anna Kendrick’s quirky performance.
