In English conversation, there are few responses more ambiguous than “oh, you know.” Since the questioner doesn’t already know the answer, that’s precisely why they asked it! At the premiere of “Another Simple Favor” in Austin during SXSW on March 7, Anna Kendrick was quizzed about what it’s like to collaborate with her co-star Blake Lively for the movie. Instead of providing a clear answer, she retorted with an enigmatic “Oh, you know …” as she strolled away from the crowd of excited fans.
Supporters of Justin Baldoni in the It Ends With Us drama perceived Kendrick’s response as proof of her dislike for Lively, fueled further by Kendrick’s casual attitude towards the situation. Her reaction echoes Ryan Reynold’s skit at SNL50, where he seemed anxious and bewildered about his circumstances. Primarily, Kendrick’s responses suggest she is uncomfortable answering questions related to Blake Lively. It’s not always clear what working with Blake Lively signifies, positively or negatively. The most striking aspect of Kendrick’s answers is her decision to exit the conversations immediately afterward. If there’s a message in her actions, it’s that these questions hold little significance for her.
Kendrick’s straightforward rejection of such perspective suits her well, while director Paul Feig has been battling online critics in support of Lively amidst rumors earlier this year that the project was canceled. Feig’s usual amiable demeanor has been tested during this quiet release phase, with the sparse press tour struggling due to no one’s fault specifically. The fact that none of these individuals are excelling at promoting a pulpy, unintelligent thriller doesn’t necessarily imply anything significant either way. Similar to Kendrick’s casual remark, Another Simple Favor has the unfortunate predicament of being entangled in a scandal no one wishes to associate with. When asked about working with Lively, Kendrick responded honestly when she said, “oh, you know …” It carries no weight – she shouldn’t have to explain it. The gag order requested by Lively’s team earlier this year might have shielded the court of public opinion from details about the case that will make future press interactions for the Another Simple Favor team awkward.
Right-wing commentators and fans of Baldoni often focus on the fact that no one openly expresses support (or lack thereof) for Lively. Those creating a stir in this situation don’t seem to care whether people speak out or remain silent. The level of vocal support doesn’t seem to matter to them, even though many past co-stars have spoken up for Lively. People with preconceived notions about the situation are unlikely to be swayed by others’ opinions, regardless of who expresses them.
Fortunately for Lively, Kendrick, and Feig, their new film’s reviews appear largely untouched by any surrounding controversy, with many critics appreciating it, though perhaps growing slightly weary of the familiar tropes. One aspect that made A Simple Favor particularly captivating initially was its casual, engaging style. This film doesn’t need to be a massive box office success to boost Lively’s career; in fact, what connection does Another Simple Favor have with the legal issues surrounding It Ends With Us? Well, that’s another story…
