Overview

• Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick reprise their roles as Emily and Stephanie in Paul Feig's streaming-only sequel, now available on Prime Video.
• The film’s plot centers on Emily’s parole and her invitation to Stephanie to serve as maid of honor at a Mafia-linked wedding in Capri.
• Jean Smart’s role as Emily’s mother was recast with Elizabeth Perkins due to Smart’s scheduling conflicts with HBO’s 'Hacks' and Broadway commitments.
• Critics praise the chemistry between Lively and Kendrick, as well as the film’s campy tone and glamorous visuals, though some note it lacks the sharpness of the original.
• A cliffhanger ending featuring a “simple favor” from a Mafia matriarch teases the possibility of a third installment in the franchise.
