REVIEW SUMMARY
"A Simple Favor is a highly enjoyable chic and juicy mystery thriller that's also quite hilarious! We are talking about the director of Bridesmaids after all. Performances are equally wonderful and each character is truly fun to watch. Blake Lively is especially mesmerizing in her role and makes it all look so effortless. The script is tight and twisty and while the conclusion is a tad weaker than the rest of the film, it’ll still leave you satisfied. Definitely do yourself a (simple) favor and see this movie."
