This is no Ernest Cline novel; our emotional connection to the world and its characters goes far beyond the level of pop culture references.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 15, 2021

Free Guy is a very knowing movie, but part of its knowingness is its pop lightness -- even its blandness, if that can be seen as a virtue.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 30, 2021

Free Guy is a big old mess. It's a movie that's more parts than the sum of its parts.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 21, 2021

Reynolds is his usual two steps away from absolute insincerity. Where in other movies that can be maddening, here it lends a nice lift to his line readings.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 19, 2021

While I'm no gamer, this is one breezily intoxicating expedition into the unknown I wish I could pick up a controller and play for myself, and that's a compliment.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 17, 2021

There are thematic parallels with everything from The Lego Movie to The Matrix, but key to its appeal is an unabashed sweetness and goofy enthusiasm that proves irresistible.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 15, 2021

This is really derivative, but I had a good time and laughed a lot more than I thought I would... If you're a fan of Ryan Reynolds, you get a lot of him here.

[Jodie Comer's] so natural in the role that it saves Millie from existing only as the object of a man's affections almost singlehanded.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 14, 2021

Ryan Reynolds is at top skill level in this clever video game comedy...

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 13, 2021

One of those rare blockbusters not to be based on a comic, a 온라인카지노추천 series or indeed a video game. It also offers some of the upbeat, optimistic entertainment we could all do with, despite the numerous shoot-outs and explosions...

| Aug 13, 2021

It operates on the high-concept notion of a non-playable character experiencing an existential crises, but only as a delivery system for your standard, steroidal blockbuster.

For a film that doesn't have an original bone in its body, Free Guy is surprisingly tolerable. "Good" isn't the word, though.

| Aug 13, 2021

An occasionally tolerable way to waste two hours in the middle of a summer heat wave. That is not a recommendation.

| Original Score: 0/4 | Aug 13, 2021

If there are problems with Free Guy, they bounce jauntily off Reynolds.

| Aug 13, 2021

"Free Guy" is exhausting to behold.

| Aug 13, 2021

At its best, Free Guy is alert to the jolting contrasts between our dull world and the juiced up ones we enter on the PlayStation.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 13, 2021

Studios, please make more movies like "Free Guy."

| Original Score: 4/4 | Aug 13, 2021

Ryan Reynolds piles on the charm as a bland bank teller who discovers he's just a pixelated extra in a violent video game. The comedy could have been sharper, spikier and riskier-like The Truman Show- but this summer funfest goes down easy,

| Aug 13, 2021

It's overly busy and spreads itself thin in trying to bridge multiple worlds, which aren't linked by a consistent tone.

| Original Score: C+ | Aug 12, 2021

Shawn Levy's metaphysical rom-com might just be the best summer blockbuster of 2021.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 12, 2021
