A Simple Favor
ComedyCrimeMysteryThriller119 min
When her glamorous new friend vanishes after asking for a school pickup, small-town vlogger and single mother Stephanie starts pulling at the threads of a life built on secrets. Anna Kendrick is the relentlessly helpful Stephanie, while Blake Lively’s Emily arrives as an upper-class enigma with a polished exterior and a habit of keeping people off balance. As Stephanie looks into Emily’s disappearance, she finds an uneasy ally in Emily’s husband, Sean (Henry Golding), and the search begins to expose a carefully managed facade.
