Based on a novel by Darcy Bell and co-written and directed by Paul Feig, A Simple Favor follows Stephanie, played by Anna Kendrick. She is a mommy vlogger seeking to discover the truth behind her best friend Emily’s, played by Blake Lively, sudden disappearance from their small town.

Feig directed Bridesmaids and is used to comedy, so this storyline is different for him. I can see by the way the trailer’s edited there are some humorous undertones.

I saw the movie through Amazon Prime and found it to be delightful. Kendrick pulls off the best part for her in a big way. The film starts off a bit rough with the peripheral characters, but once the movie gets into the meat of the story, it is fabulous. I am so glad I saw it. I highly recommend it.

The movie is now available on Blu-ray, DVD, and streaming. Now is the time to see the film if you haven’t yet, or you want to see it again.

The second trailer shows more of what the story is about the sharp cuts of Stephanie upset and doing so off the wall stuff means Emily has a dark side or both do.

Several different posters were released. The one to the right is the latest. I still like the one above with the question mark collage because it communicates the mystery of the story. It is clever with a 1960s theme.  The one on the right seems playful.  With that, the movie is supposed to be a mystery but playful.

I am amazed at who many posters the movie is generating. I still like the question mark poster the best. But, the one with the fan design is pretty cool, too.

This is called a specialty poster, which I like. I am thinking about embedding the poster before my YouTube interviews with the cast and crew of A Simple Favor.

I love the music by Theodore Shapiro in these the trailer and motion poster. The song is upbeat with a twist of intrigue. You might be familiar with his work on The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, I Love You, Man, and Tropic Thunder.
