    3.5 Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick, two unlikely script pickers, collided with such an interesting spark! Nicky said that when he saw his mother in kindergarten, he remembered that it looked too much like "Les diaboliques-1955".

    It's a bit interesting when it's suspenseful, and the rest are just average. Anna Kendall's lines are really slippery, Blake is really beautiful~~, the queen's domineering fan is really deadly, and the IQ of the two heroines is really cheap, a low-minded man Lord~·

    Stephanie: [Talking to the camera while doing an entry for her vlog] Hi moms, Stephanie here. Today, as promised, I am going to share my zucchini chocolate chip cookie recipe. But first, many of you have asked me for an update on the Emily situation. And for those of you who are new to my vlog, you should know my best friend Emily is missing right now. She asked me a simple favor, to pick up her son Nicky from school, which was five days ago, and she hasn't come back yet, so I'm sorry. We're all really worried, and I'm doing everything I can to help the police track her down. But I'm realizing I don't know her as well as I thought I did. It's like my mom used to say, God rest her soul, um, "Secrets are like margarine, easy to spread, bad for the heart". But as different as we are, I do consider Emily my best friend. She is this wonderful, elegant person. And our sons brought us together, actually. Well, you know, for our new friends, I'll just started from the beginning. I met Emily a few weeks ago at school. It was international cuisine day in my son's first grade class, and once again, I drew Sweden, which meant my famous meatless meatballs.
