Another Simple Favor

Another Simple Favor is more a travelogue for Italy’s stunning island of Capri than a satisfying mystery, with more twists to track than the island’s jackknifing roads. The film reunites Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively of 2018’s comedic thriller A Simple Favor, where mommy vlogger Stephanie (Kendrick) tracked down the disappearance of her friend, upper-class mom Emily (Lively). The script leans heavily on expository dialogue, which fills in anyone who missed or forgot the earlier film.
