Our take
Another Simple Favor is an R-rated mystery comedy sequel set at a lavish Italian wedding. Expect frequent f-words, stabbings and shootings with blood, heavy drinking, drug references, and played-for-laughs sexual assault references. A on-screen suicide scene includes bloody detail
Uplifting themes
Female friendship is complicated; morality is mostly cynical
Story (may spoil tone)
Stephanie and Emily reunite on the beautiful island of Capri, Italy for Emily's extravagant wedding to a rich Italian businessman. Along with the glamorous guests, expect murder and betrayal to RSVP for a wedding with more twists and turns than the road from the Marina Grande to the Capri town square.

Talk after watching
- Why do dark comedies treat betrayal and murder as entertainment?
- The film jokes about nonconsensual touching. How do you talk with teens about consent?
