A Simple Favor (2018)
(A Simple Favour)
Country: CAN/US
Technical: col/2:1 117m
Director: Paul Feig
Cast: Anna Kendrick, Blake Lively, Henry Golding
Synopsis:
A single mum and proactive vlogger befriends her alter ego, a foul mouthed, monomaniacal career girl and walking fashion statement, who promptly disappears. Smelling a rat, she turns amateur sleuth but also falls for the husband.
Review:
Kendrick excels as the initially naive - but not so innocent - absurdly can-do and sassy heroine. Sexy and smart, this romantic comedy can also be disturbing and unreal, as it sets up an intriguing premise before ultimately overturning expectations too many times in an anything-goes finish.
