Another Simple Favor 2025

In his review of Another Simple Favor, critic Brian Tallerico draws a whimsical parallel between Paul Feig’s 2025 sequel and 1970s family films like Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo, highlighting its shift from suburban intrigue to a glamorous European escapade. The picture reunites Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively, whose strong chemistry remains the highlight, this time amid the sumptuous background of Capri. The narrative follows Stephanie (Kendrick), a struggling author, who is drawn back into the orbit of the enigmatic Emily (Lively), recently released from prison and engaged to a mafia heir. Invited to serve as maid of honor at Emily’s lavish wedding, Stephanie finds herself entangled in a web of deceit, familial drama, and underworld tensions.

While Lively’s performance is lauded for its captivating unpredictability, the film’s pacing and convoluted plotlines, especially the mafia subplots, are noted as detracting elements. The movie’s strength lies in the interplay between Kendrick and Lively, whose scenes together inject vitality into the narrative. Despite its shortcomings, Another Simple Favor offers a visually stunning, if at times overindulgent, continuation of its predecessor’s story.
