REVIEWER: jesse timbs
A Simple Favor centres around Stephanie (Anna Kendrick), a mommy vlogger who seeks to uncover the truth behind her best friend Emily's (Blake Lively) sudden disappearance from their small town.
A Simple Favor is a stylish film with a slick soundtrack and a few martinis thrown in. Its well scripted, brilliantly cast and overall a very enjoyable and thrilling film from start to finish.
Blake Lively does a fantastic job playing Emily. She portrays the sexy city socialite with a bit of mystery about her very well.
Anna Kendrick is not someone I have ever been a fan of but i have to admit she has done an outstanding job in A Simple Favor playing Stephanie the full time mum/blogger come detective who starts to investigate her best friend Emilys disappearance after she goes missing.
​
The story is completely engrossing from the get go and you think its going in a particular direction and the rug is pulled out from under your feet.
A Simple Favour will keep you guessing and fully engrossed right from the start until the end credits.
★★★★
