Profile of The Favor

The Favor can be described as humorous and offbeat. The plot revolves around a road not taken, looking for sex, and a battle of the sexes. The main genres are comedy, independent, and romance. In terms of style, The Favor is talky and stars a strong female character. In approach, it is realistic. It is set, at least in part, at a high school. The Favor takes place in the 1990s. It is well suited for a girls' night and a date night.

Summary of The Favor

Best friends Kathy (Harley Jane Kozak) and Emily (Elizabeth McGovern) are having disparate relationship troubles. Kathy is growing bored with her comfortable married life with husband Peter (Bill Pullman) while Emily is tired of her unstable arrangement with drifter artist Elliott (Brad Pitt). When Kathy hears her old flame Tom (Ken Wahl) will be attending their high school reunion, she asks Emily to seduce him and see what she's missing out on. Predictably, this leads to a mess of new problems.

TV Guide

Ultimately, aside from the valiant efforts of pros like Elizabeth McGovern and the effortless Bill Pullman, The Favor is virtually indistinguishable from recent direct-to-video exploitation comedies Full Review

Variety

The direction and technical elements are obvious, bright and vapid, while the performers struggle against staggering odds to provide nuance. Full Review
