One day Emily goes missing without trace to uncover the mystery of her disappearance from their small town, Stephanie and Sean team up to search for her that later reveals a complicated truth which leads to twists and betrayals.
My Movie Review: The movie is a high tone twisted psychological thriller that full of dimension dress in a sophisticated manner but hides dark secrets no one saw coming make us feel smart to the point you get more than you can chew as the story unfolds I still don't know how it ends:) A Simple Favor is a beautiful curse inject with sense of humour and such mystery it's delicious to indulge as its chanter create the melody of suspension and horror living in cynical adversary. Blake Lively is the power player in this tale as she manipulate the story with a twisted mindset just like in Gone Girl the disappearing act and play the victim once back to blame the husband! The difference in this film there's a Nancy Drew picking up the pieces and solving the case as Anna Kendrick go beyond mile in uncovering the truth and exposing the lie in her mommy vlog.
Critics Consensus: Twisty, twisted, and above all simply fun, A Simple Favor casts a stylish mom noir spell strengthen by potent performances from Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively. With its saucy French pop music and pastel Saul Bass-inspired credits, this film is hungry to seem like classic thriller that you come away charmed by its pure-hearted ambition. A Simple Favor seems to yearn for a bygone era of nail-biter, but rather than wallow in pastiche, it comes up with something truly contemporary feeling. It's gratifying to see Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick both earning their keep in director Paul Feig's borderline-nutso crime comedy, one that won't be confused for a new Gone Girl. But even second-rate trashy turnarounds are worth savoring.
