To enjoy this pic you have to roll with its absurdities.

| Original Score: B | Apr 16, 2025

Although the sequel spices things up by having a more exotic setting and the scene-stealing duo of Elizabeth Perkins and Allison Janney joining the cast, Another Simple Favor does get bogged down by getting too twist-y as the mystery unfolds.

| Original Score: B | Apr 10, 2025

A solid sequel... that doesn’t have the same magic or energy as the original, but there is enough here to recommend it to those who miss spending time with Stephanie and Emily and are up to going on an Italian adventure with them.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Apr 8, 2025

The air is rich with secrets and splendor. The glamorous guests drip with humorous dread, contempt and sarcasm, trading barbs with wry wit and poisonous edge. A glossy noir, "Another Simple Favor" is wildly twisty and fabulously fun.

While the film gets a little long-in-the-tooth with its central mystery it’s the performances and chemistry of its stars that keep us engaged, particularly Lively who cannot resist inhabiting this character and Renée Ehrlich Kalfus’ award-worthy wardrobe.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 1, 2025

Another Simple Favor struggles to do the most despite coming off as overstuffed at the same time. Still, Anna Kendrick manages to mostly right the ship.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Mar 25, 2025

Where the first film had a rhythmic, minimalist mystery at its core, the sequel stumbles with one convoluted plot device after another.

| Original Score: C- | Mar 17, 2025

“Another Simple Favor” might not be Emily’s perfection, chilled-glass martini, but that’s fine.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 10, 2025

Another Simple Favor is an entertaining; it’s just a shame audiences will have to experience this film at home because this sequel was born for audiences to laugh and gasp at every turn together in a theater.

| Original Score: B | Mar 10, 2025

It’s another very twist-heavy film that works better when its characters are just allowed to be marvelous instead of mysterious.

| Original Score: 2.5$ | Mar 10, 2025

Another Simple Favor has some truly hilarious moments between Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively, but makes some incredibly bizarre story decisions for the sake of cheap shock value.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 10, 2025

Not as good as the first film but it made me laugh multiple times and I was genuinely shocked when the killer was revealed, so it accomplished what it set out to do.

| Mar 9, 2025

Another Simple Favor does a decent job with the returning elements from the first film but falters trying to do something new.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 9, 2025

If your favorite bits of A Simple Favor was Lively embracing her inner bad girl and delivering face and looks? You'll cherish this divinely twisted thriller.

| Mar 9, 2025

It’s fine enough, but the type of streaming movie that is destined to get a ton of watches immediately before disappearing within the algorithm.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Mar 9, 2025

Tonally, this sequel matches its predecessor in delightfully sinful ways... But the fashionable costumes, gorgeous sunsets, attractive people, and remarkable comic timing can’t save a bloated premise from nearly going off the rails.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Mar 8, 2025

While 'Another Simple Favor' may not hold a knife as sharp as its original, its delightfully devilish attitude makes it an enjoyable continuation. Ride its wave of chic absurdity.

| Mar 8, 2025

While Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively bring plenty of focused comedic wit to returning director Paul Feig’s more freewheeling farce, their commitment to the bit can only carry it so far.

| Original Score: C | Mar 8, 2025

Similar to the original, Another Simple Favor manages to defy your expectations. It's a sequel that never feels hellbent on just repeating the same plot beats as the first.

| Mar 8, 2025

With Another Simple Favor, Feig has managed to make a fun, delightfully ridiculous film, though it lacks the stakes and suspense of the original. 

| Original Score: 6/10 | Mar 8, 2025
