Un altro piccolo favore

This is the worst sequel ever. They took the same characters in a stupid plot. They fail to even exploit the viewer's curiosity in seeing the protagonists after such a long time, because they all turn out to be caricatures of themselves. Everything seems forced, the dialogues are awful, and to get a smile he stuffed everything with gratuitous swear words. Seriously: I don't pay attention to swear words, but here there's one normal word for every ten swear words. Not even halfway through the film I was already wondering if it was time to turn it off. A silly parody of the first film. I tried to get involved in the crime, but it seems like a bad B-movie.

"Another Simple Favor" tries to recapture the quirky charm and mystery of its predecessor, but ends up feeling like a forced, over-the-top sequel that forgot what made the original work. The plot is needlessly convoluted, filled with implausible twists that seem to exist just for shock value rather than story cohesion.

Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick reprise their roles, but their chemistry feels strained and less natural this time around. Instead of building tension or emotional depth, the film leans heavily into absurdity and camp, losing the balance between dark humor and thriller that made the first film engaging.

All in all, I find it disappointing.

Am I too boring or too "proper" or is it strange for anyone else who thinks it's "normal" to normalize incest and include pedophilia in a movie that is presented as a comedy?

And am I the only one who doesn't see any humor in it and doesn't find the movie funny? If it's an attempt at eccentric humor, it failed miserably. Such a shame.

Anna works very well with humor. She has a humor a la Tina Fey. I think Blake is average.

I didn't expect much but I didn't expect too little either. It just sounds like humor that tries too hard to be subtle and too clever and fails at everything it tries!

It's a little bit sad! KK.

Sorry Paul Feig but this sequel is rubbish. No amount of great wardrobe makes it watchable unfortunately. When you are fast forwarding to get to the end you know its bad. There are rumours of a third, hopefully Anna will not waste her time. She's a good actress and can do better but in any event I think she made it clear working with the blonde one was not easy, despite what Paul has tried to maintain. Understandably so he has a movie to push and he doesn't want it affecting that. Anyway, that aside the sequel is not as good as the first one and will skip the third if it's ever made. Don't waste your money.

I loved the first movie and I didn't exactly have high expectations but, with a star-studded cast, I did expect more.

Tbh it was pretty bad in my opinion - extremely far-fetched, cheesy, and underwhelming. I fell asleep halfway through it because I found it difficult to pay attention and when I finished it later, it definitely got worse instead of better.

I won't post spoilers but I was super disappointed with the plot twists and the added backstory. The writers could have made this movie SO much better but, nope. Unfortunately it felt like I was watching a low budget, cheesy lifetime movie.
