A Simple Favor is a delicious, twisty turning
fun film full of deception, beautiful people , a vlog, surprises, and friends?
Anna Kendrick is Stephanie, super single mom who hosts her video blog, makes
the best school food treats, and is conservatively eager to please. When son
Miles and his friend Nicky beg for a play date, she agrees when Emily, the cold
as ice beautiful Blake Lively, invites Stephanie over for a martini. “Momma
needs a reset button.” Oh my!
Stephanie has never met anyone like Emily, who drinks, curses,
wears power clothes, works in the city, has the hot author husband, and dares
Stephanie to be bad. Then the phone call, “Can you pick up Nicky and take him
after school for a bit? I’m swamped at work.” One simple favor
turns into days…where is Emily? Stephanie posts her concern on her vlog.
Shaun (the luscious Henry Golding) involves the police. What’s going on?
Then a body in a Michigan lake turns out to be Emily – DNA and tattoo
match. End of movie grieving?
Oh no. That was only the beginning. I won’t give more away.
Grab the popcorn tub and hang on for a wild ride in suburbia. Good acting. Lots
of twists. And several, “Say what?” moments.
Just A Simple Favor…that’s all.
Hard to imagine Anna Kendrick as a super–single mom. :) Sounds like a fun movie, though!

ReplyDeleteThe Anna character runs a cooking and tips vlog and also brings in her personal stuff and concern over Blake's character. It all works and makes it very current and edgy
