Directed by Paul Feig, this 2-hour wild ride brings Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively back together in chaos, couture, and Capri. Following up the 2018 original, this sequel sends Stephanie and Emily to Italy for a luxurious wedding that unravels into a mess of betrayal, murder, and designer sunglasses. It’s murder-mystery-meets-fashion-week, with just enough scandal to keep your wine glass full.
Okay, first off—Blake Lively walked through this entire movie like she owned the world, and honestly? She did. The fashion? Insane. The energy? Unmatched. Anna Kendrick still brings her quirky chaos and comedic awkwardness, but this time it feels more grown-up. The chemistry between them? Sizzling. Like, why are they still pretending they’re just friends???
The plot? Messy in the best way. Murder, secrets, romance, and betrayal layered like tiramisu. You’ll guess the twist early if you’re paying attention, but the drama makes it worth staying till the end. Stephanie is still the most loveably unhinged PTA mom with a podcast, and Emily is still the glam sociopath we adore. Capri as a backdrop? Yes, chef. Every scene is drenched in sun, scandal, and sharp dialogue.
But real talk—did it need to be two hours long? Probably not. Did I enjoy every single ridiculous minute? Absolutely. Even the WTF moments (like, what was that sibling storyline!?) felt right at home in this chaotic glam universe. And can we please get the trilogy already?? These two are the true endgame.
