A Simple Favor, directed by Paul Feig, centers 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. Stephanie is joined by Emily's husband Sean (Henry Golding) in this stylish thriller filled with twists and betrayals, secrets and revelations, love and loyalty, murder and revenge.
This was a really enjoyable watch but confusing at the same time. Was it a comedy? Was it a suspense movie? Was it a drama? It really hit a couple of different chords and hit all of them really well. There was a certain lingering level of interest and intensity throughout that really hooked the viewer and kept you wanting more.
I would definitely recommend that people check this one out. It was a very surprisingly enjoyable watch.
