Another Simple Favor

Stephanie Smothers i Emily Nelson ponownie spotykają się na malowniczej wyspie Capri we Włoszech, gdzie Emily planuje ekstrawagancki ślub z bogatym włoskim biznesmenem. Wśród czarujących gości, w scenerii pełnej zwrotów akcji niczym kręta droga z Marina Grande na starówkę Capri, pojawią się także morderstwo i zdrada.
The reason why it’s such a bummer that this film is so forgettable is because the first was miraculous. I rewatched A Simple Favor after watching this and it’s genuinely stunning how much risk and style is that film that lays off beautifully. It’s rare to get a film so absurd and self aware that’s also exciting and bold. Which is why this sequel is so disappointing. While it doesn’t reach the lows of something like Disenchanted or Hocus Pocus 2, it’s an incredibly lackluster follow up that simply cannot justify its own existence. No matter how much charm its leads bring to the table.
