Have you checked out to see if Girlxoxo and Estella’s Revenge posted about some good book to movies today?
FRI. Dec 21 – #AMonthofFaves On the Screen – What did you watch this year that you absolutely loved and did you see any movies inspired by books you’ve read – what did you think?
I missed out on the whole Crazy Rich Asians movie- I hadn’t read the book yet!- and I thought the movie trailer looked very promising, but was unsure if I needed to read book first or not.
However, I was ALL about going to see A Simple Favor. I mean Blake Lively & Anna Kendrick. SHUT the front door. Both played their roles like freaking stars.
While I was reading A Simple Favor, I kept thinking that it would make a better movie. And it did. The things that bothered me in the book were smoothed over in the movie. The movie was shiny, interesting, and had 2 kick-butt actresses in it.
*Did you watch A Simple Favor?*

Happy Reading and Bookishly Yours,

Come see my post! I didn’t care for A Simple Favor but Blake Lively was the best part.
Off to check your post out 🙂 Blake Lively was EVERYTHING in this movie!
I haven’t watched A Simple Favor but it’s definitely on my radar now.
I REALLY liked it. Hope you will!
I would recommend skipping the Crazy Rich Asians book and just watching the movie.
Ooh, ok. I wasn’t too sure about the book, but that movie just looks good!
The movie is an absolute delight. The book was a slog (that I never finished).
Sometimes the movie truly is better
I loved A Simple Favor!!! I never read the book but I didn’t want to wait to see the movie. I’m glad I didn’t wait!!! I do plan to read the book though!!!
Crazy Rich Asians was magical! I laughed and cried and loved it! It’s definitely worth renting this holiday if you have time 💕
I really enjoyed A Simple Favor! It was just a much better movie than book.
I may see if I can get CRA for NYE & cuddle up with the cats & popcorn 😀
I agree about skipping the Crazy Rich Asians book and just checking out the movie. I LOVED the movie and was “blah” about the book. It’s a rare occasion for me when that happens 🙂
And I hadn’t heard of A Simple Favor (either the book or the movie) before this prompt but you’re the second person to write about it so now I’m intrigued!
Ya’ll have made my mind up. I’m skipping book & watching CRA ASAP!
I hope you enjoy A Simple Favor!!
