In the end it became quite laughable. I don't really have much else to say or talk about. That's all I really wanted to say.  |

Should have had Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively do a hot lesbo scene.

That's what I thought, only replace "too weird & nutty" with "Gone Girl 2".

I'm not sure why you're going to such lengths to defend a movie you find "laughable". It's like you think I'm insulting Gone Girl by saying it got ripped off. It's the opposite. Anyway, here's a checklist: -turns out "missing girl" faked her disappearance -missing girl plans or actually has their "body" found in lake -missing girl attempts to frame unfaithful husband -unfaithful husband is a teacher she supports financially -husband is having an affair with student -missing girl and husband like to have kinky sex in public -missing girl mangles her face with tool to sell her charade -missing girl turns out to have a history of conniving manipulation -missing girl has bimbo friend she uses -missing girl ends up killing someone while the exact same music plays -there's a sardonic black guy on both cases -1/2 of the couple either wrote a famous book or was the subject of one -the main character of Gone girl is accused of having sex with their sibling, the main character of A Simple Favor actually did Abd probably more. |

Also hope Harry Golding doesn't become a thing sooooo bland as hell as well.

Me saying that they're not the same in no way means I'm defending A Simple Favor. And going to such great lengths? I made 2 very short replies talking about it. You're so over-thinking things. And I was talking about it not being the same style at all because A Simple Favor was done in more of a jokey way. Yes, it was serious, but it was done with too much humor, weirdness. |
