A Simple Favor (Movie 2018)

It's been out for a while but I finally saw A Simple Favor. It is a fun little mystery/ thriller. Anna Kendrick plays Stephanie who is the over achieving mom. She will out do all the other parents at her kid's school by volunteering for everything. And in walks Emily played by Blake Lively who it's obvious in her high fashion clothes and shoes could care less about such mundane things as events at her son's school. She befriends Stephanie and the contrast between the two is really night and day. You definitely know something is off with Emily when she overreacts to Stephanie taking her photo. As the story goes on a lot of secrets come out and you start to wonder who's in on what. For me the stand out in this was Blake Lively. She plays this part with style, panache and you sense the wicked in her. The humor is slightly dark. A Simple Favor also stars Henry Golding.
