A Simple Favor | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Ben Sachs Chicago Reader Imagine an ABC sitcom based on David Fincher's Gone Girl, and you'll get an idea of what this lightweight comic mystery is like. Mar 4, 2020 Full Review A Simple Favor | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Matthew Norman London Evening Standard It seeks only to entertain, and in its haphazard way it does. Rated: 3/5 Sep 25, 2018 Full Review A Simple Favor | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Jo Livingstone The New Republic A deeply confused movie that feels like a mash-up of Mean Girls and an episode of Law and Order. Sep 24, 2018 Full Review A Simple Favor | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Trace Thurman Horror Queers Podcast A devilishly fun time from Paul Feig, thanks in large part to Blake Lively's sinister performance. Rated: 4.5/5 Sep 18, 2023 Full Review A Simple Favor | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Joe Lipsett Horror Queers Podcast Paul Feig's super stylish and fun suburban noir features Anna Kendrick in a solid, albeit very familiar Kendrick role. It's Lively, however, who steals the show with hera sexy, confident, multi-faceted performance Rated: 4/5 Sep 13, 2023 Full Review A Simple Favor | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand ... a neo-noir of suburban pep and middle-class warmth meeting cool sophistication.

Emily P I saw this movie when it was released and I still can’t get over how well it was done from the cast, the script, everything I was amazing I hope the second movie will be just as good. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/09/24 Full Review Brittany G The build up was so good to such a dumb ending. Felt like it could’ve been an amazing plot twist shocking ending but it was just a Disney channel ending. Blake lively did not play the part well. Very awkward. Very disappointing Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/07/24 Full Review Mario V Good movie.
