ANOTHER SIMPLE FAVOR MOVIE REVIEW
An all expense paid trip to the island of Capri, Italy? Yes please! What’s the catch? Be the Maid of Honour at your best friend’s forever wedding? That may not sound like much of a catch but what if I told you that BFF was a sexy murderer? Yes, I too would still attend. It’s Italy! Amazon Prime presents the long awaited dark comedy sequel based on the saucy beach thriller A Simple Favour by author Darcey Bell. Another Simple Favour reunites true crime blogger mom Stephanie Smothers (Anna Kendrick) and fresh out of prison, lady in waiting, Emily Nelson (Blake Lively). After a high priced lawyer springs Emily out of prison. She appears in full swagger ready to Slay Queen Slay at Stephanie’s book reading. Emily invites Stephanie to her extravagant Mafioso wedding, even so much as to ask her to be the main attraction in her wedding party. What kind of underhanded, devious revenge plot could Emily be planning? In order to find out and really get those ‘like and subscribes’ to shatter the glass ceiling, she reluctantly accepts the invitation. With a secret family featuring long-lost aunt Allison Janney, a studly but mob-tied fiance, and then murder, it’s a total drama island like Jerry Springer throwing a chair at Agatha Christie. Bradly and Frank praise the production values, extravagant venues, and dresses to die for, or perhaps KILL for! Then Frank solves the mystery of the man who watches sequels without a viewing of the original! Dastardly!

YOUR REVIEWERS
Bradly Martin (Screener Squad, Eye on the Prize, Breakfast Pub)
Bradly Martin was born in the united states and grew up on a healthy diet of sports, films, and books. A rather shy lad who kept to himself, Bradly soon discovered the best way to know a person was to know what people liked. Throughout the years Bradly became a fan of many things and a fanatic of none. From Doctor Dre, to Doctor Strange and the who’s who of Whos. From Playstation to the Dreamcast and Marvel to DC. From LeBron James to James Bond and Lord of the Rings to Lord Palmerston (or Pitt the Elder if you agree with Wade Boggs) and is a huge fan of dad jokes and randomly obscure Simpsons references. Armed with a vast knowledge of comics, films, and pop culture. Bradly traveled the world making friends and sharing takes. As a young man Bradly married the love of his life young and grew older every year with each new child brought into the brood. If trends continue, Scientists predict that .2% of Canada (where Bradly and family reside) will be populated by Bradly’s children by the year 2029. You can hear him leading and listening to his favorite critics on the Screener Squad and Eye on the prize and maybe even provide some comments of his own.
Frank Calvillo (Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad, What Ever Happened to Bette & Joan?)
Born and raised in South Texas, Frank currently lives in Austin and has been in love with movies ever since his father showed him some Three Stooges shorts when he was five years old. Today he loves all kinds of film, regardless of era, country, budget or genre. He believes every film has an audience and is at least one person’s favorite movie. After writing for Sight & Sound and Slackerwood, he now writes for Cinapse where his increasingly random taste in all flavors of cinema (from Rashomon to Mars Attacks!) continues to thrive. His ultimate goal is to write a script for his boyhood crush, Michelle Pfeiffer.
