Another Simple Favor (2025) — decline the invitation to this bonkers sequel

Stephanie Smothers and Emily Nelson reunite on the island of Capri, Italy, for Emily’s extravagant wedding to a rich Italian businessman…

Mommy blogger Stephanie Smothers (Anna Kendrick) and fashionista-turned-criminal Emily (Blake Lively) are back in an unnecessary sequel to surprise hit A Simple Favor (2018). Expect all the twists and turns of the original campy thriller, all dialled up to a ridiculous new level of unbelievability. Think of a soap opera twist, and Another Simple Favor will have it.

Stephanie has pivoted from being a blogger to amateur detective and is now about to publish her first true crime novel. During her mostly empty first book reading, Emily waltzes back into Stephanie’s life. The film isn’t too concerned with answering how Emily is allowed to walk about free when she was imprisoned for murdering her secret identical twin sister and trying to murder her husband. Like everything else in Another Simple Favor, you’ll just have to go with it.
