Rotten Tomatoes lists a VERY high anticipation level for A SIMPLE FAVOR, the new film with Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively. It opens on September 14 but this week we had a special preview along with a bunch of bloggers, vloggers and media. The main character (Kendrick) is a mommy vlogger who gets drawn into a murder mystery.
I absolutely loved this film and all the quirky twists and turns it takes, at times like a Hitchcock style story with real suspense and at other times quite funny as it skewers stereotypes in some subtle and not so subtle ways. Blake Lively plays her character very well, filling the screen with what will become the iconic cinematic psycho role that every decade has. The writing is excellent and the casting is on point right down to the little kid who is quite convincing in his role.
I don't go out to movies as often as friends at all (I'm more to be found in a restaurant) and it is extremely rare that I rave about one that I see. Go see this one. You won't be disappointed.
