In the thriller film Another Simple Favor, Emily (Blake Lively) and Stephanie (Anna Kendrick) are reunited at Emily’s wedding in Capri, but things take a dark turn when Emily’s new husband is brutally attacked. Stephanie is mistakenly named as the prime suspect, leading to a dramatic showdown between the two women.
However, it’s revealed that the real target was Charity, Emily’s third and unknown sister, who had been trying to live out Emily’s life. The twist comes when Stephanie kisses “not-Emily,” only to realize it’s actually Charity in disguise.
The kiss scene, which sparked controversy due to its suggestive nature, was a deliberate attempt by writer-director Paul Feig to explore the complex relationships between the characters. Feig has confirmed that he had planned the plot twist from the start and trusted Blake Lively to carry out the unconventional scene.
Feig revealed that the script’s curveball idea added an unexpected layer of tension to the film, making it uncomfortable for cast and crew during filming. The surprising reveal now streams on Prime Video, leaving viewers questioning what’s real and what’s part of the twisted game between Emily and Stephanie.
