Not every movie needs a sequel. 2018’s humorous thriller A simple busy Of course, there seems to be no calmer because its happy ending is a typical little villain who puts it in prison for decades. But when you create a bad bitch, a bitch like Emily Nelson (aka Hope McLanden), never sins? You dare to bet, baby.
Blake Lively returns opposite the terrifying and stylish femme fatale (Anna Kendrick), repeating the role of Stephanie Smothers, a mom influencer who is a real crime. Although their chemistry on screen is as good as the 2018 movie, Another simple busy It is the best when it lets the lively mentally stimulating fashion go away.
As the previous movie mixed black and comedy, its sequel folds into influences like the Treasure of Campi Mr. Ripley is so talented, what happened to Baby Jane? and Guqi House. That said, director Paul Feig knew his audience.

Written A simple favorS Jessica Sharzer and Shutter Islandlaeta kalogridis, this sequel is cleverly self-aware. Some elements will go back to the first movie, like Stephanie’s story begins In the media Update her video blog followers. This time, Stephanie was arrested not only in the context of a review, but also in a chic Italian villa on Capri and charged with murdering Emily’s husband.
Exotic locations are instantly rejuvenated as the sight of this sequel is marvelous, Feig is filled with glorious landscape aerial shots, a mountain filled with gorgeous houses, a charming shopping center, an incredibly high cliff that falls down the rocks and emits a huge wave below. But how did Stephanie get back here? Well, on a failed book journey, “A memoir of The Faceless Blonde (a time she spent with Emily), she was surprised by the bombshell herself. Emily made a offer Stephanie could not refuse: Be my maid of honor or I would have forgotten the book’s forgetting.
Look, Emily is not only going to be out of jail (“out of appeal! Our legal system is so fucked”, she grinned like a Cheshire cat), but she is also married to a devastating Italian man, dante Dante Versano (Michele Morrone). This is the only thing the seductive bride she meets at her destination wedding is her best friend – is the past the past?
While obviously hesitant, Stephanie doesn’t want to be prosecuted – plus Emily’s ambush at the book event puts the internet about “faceless blondes”. So the trip might be very good for sales – as long as she wasn’t murdered (even that).

Emily Nelson’s joy in the first film is her painful fashion and candid horror. For the elementary school pick-up service, she was wearing clothes that looked like she had just walked off the runway. Not only did she carry herself with charming confidence, she threatened to chop off the throats of anyone who would mingle with her. She is a female fantasy version of female fatale, seducing this power to tempting power with true free dedication. However, Lively also brings a tender feeling to Emily’s twisted backstory and humor, all of which makes this villain endlessly exciting. Her potential seems limitless.
In this sequel, Sharzer and Kalogridis double down on their lively situations to dip her fresh meat into teeth with plots that include mafia and fresh toxic family secrets. Frankly, the screenwriter briefly re-crafted a classic moment Godfather Part 2, The rare sequel is so beloved that many people think it is better than its highly acclaimed original work. Feig and Company understands how audiences cringe in the sequel, a tribute to movie lovers, and that’s why we rarely deny their appeal. We long for More.
The top story of chaos
Here, what is more worthy of indulgence is the unquestionable transformation from elegant threats to peculiar fanaticism to fear. Italian background, where a wealthy local revered and annoyed fish waters recalled The talented Mr. Ripleyallowing the audience to still connect with the hero in their surroundings and obscene environments, which can be said to be parasites that send people around them away. (Stephanie’s assumption is that everyone at this super-proprietary wedding wants to be a background in her live blog. But the cost of admission may be her life.

Whether it’s flirting or threatening Emily or going back to flashbacks in a moody ballroom, where she shocks Lady Gaga’s undeniable charm Guqi House As a blue-collar brunette, attracting one of the most qualified bachelors in Italy, lively is pure fire. She has a wardrobe to match.

Feig and Company is very clear that we master Eleganza of Emily’s sexy Power Suits and aims to be the most important fashion wonder in this sequel. They did it and remained firm. Props are provided to the entire costume department. From the moment Emily entered her entry, she was a vision, he spoke in his wardrobe. When teased in the trailer, she returns to Emily’s life in a white and grey horizontal striped suit, though strongly draped in a shawl, evoking the old-fashioned prison uniform until the high button collar.
Stephanie’s outfits, by contrast, are very picky, and in ridiculously – like when she shows up on board, wearing mismatched sweatpants, boring sneakers and a travel pillow that has been fixed around her neck. Meanwhile, Emily dressed up like a Golden Age gangster, her dark grey hanging shirt and shirt are made of light grey hanging hangers, dynamically fixed tie, fedora and a blood-red rose. This look proved to be a warning to the kind of person who would be on that plane.
More clues gradually fall, for example, on wedding day, the bride’s veil reveals a crimson gradient at the end of the train, reminiscent of blood spills. Even dripping jewelry into the jewel (wearing a shirt that is so nt-waste-free that it’s too dazzling for the world – Emily is frightening and uplifting. Lively lives for every look, bold or downright fool. In short, Blake ate it. Unfortunately, not every character is so thoughtful.
Another simple busy Suffered from supporting roles – not cast.
Bashir Salahuddin, Alex Newell, Andrew Rannells, Aparna Nancherla, Kelly McCormack star “Another Simple Benefit”.

The first film offers three parents’ peers (Andrew Rannell, Kelly McCormack and Aparna Nachelara) to provide color commentary on Emily and Stephanie’s drama. They were back, but only as the plot quickly gave up Stephanie’s comfortable stomping on the ground, so they were only back briefly. But she wasn’t alone in Capri, with her book Agent Vicky (Zoey’s Extraordinary PlaylistAlex Newell), he is more than just a plot device.
To prevent Stephanie from looking too cold, there is one who needs to remind the audience of the drama on this trip – even the murder – that is very useful for Stephanie’s book sales. However, Vicky is a thin character, and in the context where almost all other actors in the film are white, she is reduced to the stereotype of “savage black friend”, which is used only to edit and support the white heroine. Newell glittering Zoey’s extraordinary playlist, She did so little here that she could not register outside of this tired and problematic telescope.
Other support players suffer, such as Taylor Ortega as a ridiculous stalker and Bashir Salahuddin, returning to the movie’s hardly in the movie, Summerville, whose biggest moments are on the phone and half asleep. To his credit, while his Dante is a sketch of fierce machismo, he brings enough scope to keep it fun.

While the characters were shocked to be underwritten, Sharzer and Kalogridis found a new angle for Henry Golding, who played Emily’s husband, Shawn in the first film hacker‘Jean Smart. But the real standout performance of the auxiliary actor is Allison Janey’s surprise. Janey Juno, me, Tonia, and Fallen gorgeous.
Like Emily Nelson Another simple busy is a shaping creature that instantly transforms into reveling in a sense of humor, enjoying mob drama, falling into the delicious depth of the lunatic in the spiritual biddy sub-genre, and showing fashion, narration, sensation and shocking. Is it better than the original? whether.
It’s a more chaotic movie, the first one is an imbalance between the magnificent Stephanie and the sly Emily’s appeal, even bigger than before, and the supporting roles are messy. But if your favorite bit A simple busy Lively embracing the bad girl inside her, sticking out her face and appearance? You will cherish this sacred thriller.
