Another Simple Favor – Spoilers of a Terrible Movie

If you’ve seen A Simple Favor, you probably wondered like I did how they could possibly make a follow-up movie. Never underestimate Hollywood’s ability to create something out of thin air. In this case, it’s a secret dead sister who’s magically not dead. Before I watched Another Simple Favor, I was very skeptical about it. I just kept thinking that there was no way they could make a smooth transition from the first one. The two women were basically mortal enemies by the end of it and now audiences are supposed to believe the pair come together again for a whole new plot?

I don’t want to necessarily influence your opinion of the movie but……… it stunk sooooo much. This post about it sums up all the reasons why and for me I’ll just narrow it down to two three four reasons it was one of the worst sequels, nay, the worst movies, I’ve seen in a long time.

1. Emily and Stephanie are friends after Stephanie is the reason Emily is in jail for a very long time. In no scenario would these two people ever want to speak to each other again, in the real world or in any movie. Yet here they are acting like best friends.
2. There are multiple scenes with lengthy exposition– Emily or one of the other characters going on and on and on and on with dialogue to help explain the plot.
3. The amount of gay kissing, incest, homosexual references is enough to make James Charles blush.
4. The surprise in this movie was that the third sister– the triplet who was stillborn– wasn’t actually stillborn, just stolen by the mother’s sister. Stories like this tick me right off because it’s so clear producers/writers knew what I knew… that there’s no logical way to make a Part 2. They got so desperate to make another one, they just made up a new part of the story, that the third sister resurrected from the dead. 🙄 I’ve seen soap operas storylines better than this movie.

I haven’t even mentioned that the movie is over 2 hours long. Lots of people don’t mind long movies but anything over 2 hours, it better be worth it. This movie was not. On a positive note, there were a handful of laugh-worthy scenes but at no point in the entire 2 hours did I think to myself, “I’m glad I’m watching this.” Save yourself time and inevitable anger by skipping this one.
