"Filmmaker Paul Feig is most known for comedies that put women at the center of the story, such as "Spy" and "The Heat," or even the remake of "Ghostbusters." For "A Simple Favor," the director takes a different approach by making a thriller, though with humorous elements and maintaining female protagonism. Anna Kendrick ("The ant") and Blake Lively ("Gossip Girl") have great chemistry on screen, helping to keep viewers intrigued until the end of the story."
