Review of A Simple Favor (2018) by Tj S — 30 Sep 2018
It is better to view this more as a comedy thriller than a straight up thriller. On the thriller front it felt very Gone Girl lite. When I hear people throw out the words "intense" and "Shocking" I disagree, I felt the twists and shock were very familiar feeling and nothing too shocking happened.
However, I still enjoyed the movie for the comedy aspects and the throw backs to popular thrillers. I don't feel like Feig was necessarily creating something to match a "Gone Girl" or "the Game" as much as writing a comedy love letter with his own twist to such movies as if he is a fan himself.
Overall this movie was enjoyable and good but the huge thriller genre fan in me was a little underwhelmed. Great performance from Blake Lively. I really enjoyed her character the most.
