A SIMPLE FAVOR


A SIMPLE FAVOR:   Directed by Paul Feig, this black comedy mystery stars Anna Kendrick, Blake Lively along with Henry Golding (the new guy who was in "Crazy Rich Asians") and centers around a mommy, nerdish blogger (Kendrick) who is out to solve the sudden disappearance of her rich new best friend (Lively.)  Lots of plot twists and flashbacks along the way keep this movie engaging.   And I am not about to give anything away here.  Just go and enjoy it.  It's one of those movies that you think you have figured it all out and then it takes off in another direction.  And it will keep you guessing up to the end.  And there is even an amusing coda after that.   No big stars, no car crashes (well, one or two) but a thoroughly enjoyable outing.  I recommend it.
