What critics compared Another Simple Favor to
“Megan 2.0” shares unfortunate common ground with “Another Simple Favor” (2025) by making peace between the titular character and her Dr. Frankenstein.
The story is, to put it mildly, preposterous right from the start and only becomes more so as it goes on, and so it was clearly a wise idea to put the direction in the hands of Paul Feig, who dealt with similar thematic material in the wildly entertaining A Simple Favor and the more repetitive Another Simple Favor.
…it never leans too much into its nonsense to the point of it being a fault like this year’s Another Simple Favor…
In just this year alone, the director had directed two feature films: Another Simple Favor and now seven months later The Housemaid.
More recent efforts, like Last Christmas, Jackpot!, and Another Simple Favor haven’t quite been the right showcase of his talents, and The Housemaid is another experience where the material itself feels like it spun out of control.
Feig, fresh off the success of Another Simple Favor, attempts to recapture the energy here…
The home’s other employee is monosyllabic groundskeeper Enzo (Michele Morrone, of Netflix’s similarly soapy and successful 365 Days franchise and Feig’s Another Simple Favor) who seems to instantly dislike Millie for unknown reasons that will be conveniently revealed in the film’s third act.
