Anna Kendrick plays lonely single mom Stephanie Smothers. Her best friend Emily, played by Blake Lively, seems to have it all: a lucrative job, a loving husband, and above all confidence. One day, Emily asks Stephanie for "a simple favor," to look after her son for a few hours while she deals with a work crisis. Stephanie agrees, and then Emily goes missing. After the police finally give up the search, Stephanie decides to take the investigation into her own hands. We don't want to ruin any of the later plot twists, so let's just say that, as Stephanie digs deeper, she discovers another side to her friend that she kept hidden from the rest of the world.

Well-written and well-acted, A Simple Favor is what would happen if Gone Girl was also allowed to be funny sometimes, and this wonderful gem of a movie is definitely worth a watch.

The Count plans to seduce Hideko and steal her fortune, and it's Sook-hee's job to befriend the lady, then persuade her to marry Fujiwara when the proper moment comes.
