Blake Lively Loves Fans Calling Another Simple Favor Sequel ‘Insane’ – See Why!

by

In the midst of the 2025 movie lineup, a highly anticipated sequel has dropped, but it’s not The Accountant 2 I’m referring to. Instead, let me direct your attention to Another Simple Favor, another Amazon MGM Studios production that can now be streamed with a Prime Video subscription. This film has been generating quite the buzz, with many viewers expressing their excitement using words like “insane” on social media. One of the film’s co-stars, Blake Lively, seems to be thoroughly enjoying the reactions.

Paul Feig’s movie “A Simple Favor” was full of surprises and left many stunned when it was released in 2018 due to its unpredictable plot. It’s no wonder that the sequel, freshly out, is aiming to ramp up the chaos even more. Viewers seem to be just as thrilled by the film’s wild storyline as Blake Lively appears to be delighted by the positive feedback. In a series of Instagram stories, Lively shared fans’ reactions and expressed her delight over them. Check out this post:

From the comments, it appears that fans are drawn to the unexpected turns in the mystery movie and find delight in its abundant camp elements. Take a look at another post from the mentioned actress as well: [Post link]

Five years after the initial storyline, we find Anna Kendrick’s character Stephanie Smothers thriving as a successful vlogger and author. However, her life is thrown into chaos when Emily Nelson (played by Blake Lively) reappears, drawing Stephanie back into her orbit. Caught between enticement and threat, Stephanie agrees to be Emily’s Maid of Honor, leading to a whirlwind of events and mischief. The audience seems quite surprised by the unfolding plot.

Stating that this sequel is excessively wild might not do justice to its true nature, as evidenced by the reactions from critics after its screening at SXSW this year. Many journalists found it to be quite absurd, some even labeling it as “complete nonsense.” However, most pundits have been positive about it, with Eric Eisenberg expressing his reservations in his review for TopMob, specifically regarding the resolution of the mystery in Another Simple Favor. Despite mixed reviews, it appears that fans are still satisfied with the franchise, as indicated by Blake Lively’s posts on social media.

It’s possible to contend that with a movie like this, it’s important to understand that things will likely become over-the-top and convoluted. Now, these twists and turns might not always be successful, but plenty of viewers may still enjoy the absurdity.

If “Another Simple Favor” becomes a popular streaming choice, there could potentially be another film made to explain the cliffhanger ending. However, at this point, no official announcements have been made. Director Paul Feig has mentioned plans for a third movie in an interview with TopMob. Whether these plans come to life and if audiences continue to enjoy the film as much as Blake Lively’s sources suggest, a sequel might be produced. For now, you can watch the movie on Amazon Prime Video.
