Director Paul Feig 2018 « Simple Adherence » feels that it has succeeded all his life ago. In a sense, it was. The film in which Anna Kendrick and Blake Liveley starred became a theatrical hit before the pandemic completely changed the cinema as we know it. Now it is a landscape that prevails. Somewhat ironic, prevalence streaming has allowed Feiga to reunite Kendrick and live for continuationMade for stretch marks, in particular, Amazon Prime Video, seven years later. Both best, and at worst, « another simple commitment » is a really decadent, much more stupid, even a sexual affair. In a sense, this is the perfect streaming movie.
It continues several years after the events of the first film and focuses on Stephanie Smaters (Kendrick), which is unexpectedly visited by her old girlfriend Emily Nelson (Blake Livel) after being released from prison. They will be reunited on the magnificent Capri Island, Italy, Emily’s extravagant wedding with a rich Italian businessman, and Stephanie was acting a maid. Stephanie is suspicious of Emily’s motivation, but still indicates in a small part to help sell her book about the previous meeting. Naturally, the killing and intrigue follows when this wedding unfolds by putting Stephanie and Emily in the middle of a even more twisted series of events.
It wouldn’t be fair call a « simple commitment » fully justified by the picture. It is definitely great, and the mystery solves the ways that the movie can only allow. However, it supports more valid quality, and this is perhaps the most serious Figa movie today. With « Another Simple Addiction », Feig leaves the ground behind for something much more compi. The mileage will be different from how attractive it is, but it definitely feels like popcorn -rod designed for the streaming era.
Paul Feig goes to this simple reunion
The loan where the loan belongs is not like any camp or nonsense. From the jump, it is obvious that Feigi wanted to do something higher. This is some kind of bold step. It would be very easy to do the same again. After all, it worked out for the first time, right?
Whether the final product is as satisfied with or not, like the air is definitely for the discussion. « Another simple commitment » is a much more movie that is much undoubted. When the first movie was steak and potato food in a pleasant restaurant, it is a dessert bar that you can eat, filled with intricate sweets. Is the best one for the other? Soon speaking, yes. But they both taste.
This is not such a big jump in a tone as to say « Gremlins 2: New Party » was Compared to its predecessor, but it is definitely a jump. Feig is absolutely fun, and it would be difficult to accuse this sad movie. It is an extravagant, funny and overwhelming, with more layers than onions. He dancing at the edge of the razor against the shark jumping. All this time it seems that Feig knows that he does not fall apart. There is confidence in chaos.
Another simple commitment is backed up by two leading performances
If this movie has strength, it is undoubtedly two of its presenters. Anna Kendrick leaves her director’s « Woman’s Watch ». In the years of the first film, she grew up a lot as a performer and director. However, she goes back to Stephany’s shoes is quite convenient, going where this stupid scenario takes it without missing any blow. But this is chemistry, and Stephanie is not as convincing as it combines with Emily.
To this end, Blake is shining brightly, as always unwell, bold and sexy Emily. Alive that comes out of the success of last year ‘end with us’, It is filled with confidence that it works great with time that does not work. In terms of chemistry? There is oil and water between Kendrick and the living that works.
But if there is a wonderful one, the living, which makes this ridiculous socialist sing. We need to hate her, but you love her. One thing Figi knows how to do is throw it. From the return of Henry Golding and several other key participants of the cast to the addition of new, welcome additions, such as welcoming Alson Gianni, it is difficult to argue with the ensemble.
This movie is some really wild directions, and it is not as sanded as its predecessor. At the same time, it feels according to what it used to be. This certainly does not betray the characters and the world’s feig. There is nothing more terrible than a sad sequel, and even if it’s not all air, it’s not sad. In the franchise era, you can say this in the era.
« Another simple commitment » comes on Prime Video on May 1, 2025.
