A Simple Favor - Reviews

Just the right mixture of movie of the week, Diabolique, Peyton Place, Alfred Hitchcock, and The Thin Man.

...a late-season entry into the race of summer’s biggest “guilty pleasure,” a film that is both very entertaining and exceedingly stupid. No surprise here: The final moments all but scream, “Greenlight the sequel!”

If your tastes in crime fiction lean more toward whiskey-soaked detectives, A Simple Favor might be bubbly enough to give you a headache despite the darkness of its themes. But that’s okay. More prosecco for the rest of us.

...doesn't add up to a filling meal, but with the drinks this zingy and a wicked canapé game, it still tickles the tastebuds plenty.

...[an] unexpectedly cruel comedy as intoxicating as the mid-afternoon martinis swilled by the two central characters.

A Simple Favor is a sharply dressed comedy-thriller, and the screenplay is even sharper. Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively dominate the screen in two of their best and funniest roles, and director Paul Feig is in rare form...

The casting is undoubtedly the film’s greatest strength...

What a relief to watch a film unafraid of letting its hair down.

This movie is twisty, nasty, snake-pit-y fun.

...lättsam dramakomedi med två roliga och lite udda kvinnliga huvudkaraktärer i centrum där kombinationen Anna Kendrick ( ”Pitch Perfect") och Blake Lively är perfekta som varandras motpoler.

Filmens klare force er samspillet mellem Blake Lively og Anna Kendrick. De har en fremragende dynamik.

A Simple Favor' skifter konstant gear imellem at være forstadssatire, mord-mysterium og magtkamp mellem to divaer, men bliver aldrig kedelig.

Underhållande och spännande.
