Show Notes
The Filmlosophers, Eddie Villanueva, Chad Riley and Spencer Williams, run without scissors for this week's review of A Simple Favor (2018). The film centers on Connecticut mommy vlogger Stephanie, played by Anna Kendrick, and her unusual friendship with a crass, Manhattan-based PR director played by Blake Lively. Directed by Paul Feig, the film also stars Henry Golding, Andrew Rannells, Linda Cardellini, Rupert Friend and Jean Smart.
Beyond this, there's little to relay coherently from a meandering plot that attempts, unsuccessfully, to balance intrigue and comedy. As the episode title suggests, this film didn't impress the Filmlosophers crew...but you should still take some time to hear why, if only to know the mess we've helped you avoid.
