THE FALL GUY Movie Review | Ryan Gosling | Emily Blunt | David Leitch

[@djisizzle]

Christy, you bring such a captivating presence to your reviews. Your passion for film and your insightful commentary make you an absolute standout. Keep shining and sharing your incredible talent!

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Very sweet, thank you!

[@KrisBryant99]

Same with the guy as well! They're both great!!!

[@jja8750]

Starts a little slow. Not everything lands. A touch too long. But on the whole, I really really enjoyed myself. This movie is the definition of 'you get what you paid for' : fun banter/chemistry/easy romance from Gosling and Blunt, and some truly amazing stunt sequences. And really, I struggle to think of any other actor right now who can ably pull-off what Gosling is able to do here (easy charm, acting chops, real action), 7.5/8-10

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Truly! And he can show all that range hosting SNL.

[@nerddoctors]

This movie was surprisingly very good! The stunt work and the practical effects were top notch. Stunt actors absolutely deserve their own Oscar category!

[@Locusto199]

Just saw it last night. Great review, you guys nailed it. Loved the cast, chemistry and STAY FOR THE CREDITS!

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Glad you caught up with it and had fun!

[@dthill96]

4/5 for me. Saw it today on a Dolby screen and just had such a blast. This is the kind of summer blockbuster that’s able to have its cake and eat it too. Applies to the general moviegoers on an entertainment level but works on the deeper level of cinephiles and film lovers. As someone who’s obsessed with filmmaking and stunt work I’m so glad this was such a love letter to it. Because for whatever reason it seems like actors never like to acknowledge or discuss stunt doubles and what the importance stunt people are. So I’m glad David was given $125-150 million to make a love letter to the world that he knows so well. I mean in the simplest terms: stunt performers can die making sure actors look cool.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Glad you loved it too! Hopefully it will find an audience as the summer goes on.

[@jamesmc75]

Excited to see this one. It would be nice if the Academy would start recognizing stunts, and give Oscar's for the work. I still have my Matchbox "The Fall Guy" pick up truck from when I was but a child.

[@nerddoctors]

It is really good. If you want to have fun you will have fun

[@mykhedelic6471]

To find himself, Ken just needed to be with Kitty, and Kitty needed a man who also needed her.

[@422katieleigh]

Did you guys see their SNL opening “monologue”? It was absolutely iconic.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Will have to catch up with it!

[@jasonraschen1109]

I saw this over the weekend. Yes, it’s too long. David Leitch just can’t seem to end his movies. Still, fun time watching it. Blunt and Gosling are so cute together.

[@martymascarin486]

Thanks for your views, as usual! Effective trailer. Can't say I actually watched the Lee Majors series but one can probably sense the origin stuff. Looking forward to The Fall Guy; VERY smooth segue to the coffee sponsor,---you're getting so good at downshifting to the commercial; looks like fun---don't have enough of these out there.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Thanks, hope you enjoy!

[@mattjazzfan2288]

Do you guys think you’re going to do a full review of Unfrosted? Would love to hear your guys opinion on it

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Yes, today!

[@hughhallett4589]

I didn’t expect this to be a quality movie. I’ll check it out.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

We were surprised at how good it was, too!

[@nerddoctors]

Haha same here

[@kevinmaynard249]

Hated this movie too, what did you see in it? Started ok and that it just got louder and more stupid. The stunts in the end credits were good. Hannah Waddingham deserves a Razzie.

[@thewebstylist]

I’m surprised no reviewers have commented on how this movie pulls a Disney Marvel move having the female lead be the strong emotionless one and the male lead (who’s the toughest guy physically like a true human super hero) is crying in his truck to a Taylor swift song missing here and she’s the commanding director etc It wasn’t as good as the hype, about the same level yes as bullet train And stunts should absolutely be an academy Oscar’s category

[@DueceSpice]

JUDGING BUY HOW IT FLOP PEOPLE JUST DIDNT CARE ENOUGH

[@looney1023]

Arthouse Tuesday!

[@BreakfastAllDay]

It'll be back eventually! :)

[@Kubillus]

Got an ad for Fall Guy mid-clip - this is inception level of marketing!

[@SydneyTravellersGuide]

I just want to add that emily blunt being that sort of horrible to ryan gosling at the start when the guy fell and broke his back and was seriously injured and had to recover from it. Just that bit really did rub me the wrong way - the way she was talking to him with the loudspeaker, and the physically painful stunt she made him do, the constant stunt pulls that whack his body into the wall. Its actual physical abuse from a person in a position of power and played for laughs? I mean like "LOVE?!". He broke his back and this is her level of empathy.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

She also explains that she tried to reach out to him repeatedly after his injury, and he acknowledges that he blew her off. She was there for him and he rejected her.

[@chasrn64]

@@BreakfastAllDay I think that is a great reason to abuse a man, because he rejected her. I hated this movie

[@JoaqMan]

I always appreciate a Hudson Hawk reference.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

You'll always find them here!

[@theprofessor1031]

Bless you both. I LOVE Hudson Hawk, while everyone I know hates it. 😞

[@NjK601]

I saw a comment on Reddit, that inspired me to watch this, saying The Fall Guy was kind of like The Truman Show, so I kept expecting some twist, like he was having a breakdown, or in a coma, but in the end it worked well without that.. It did drag on a bit though.

[@tonyg76]

This was average at best. Blunt needs to pick better movies. After seeing this and Oppenheimer, I would still say her best movie is Looper.

[@commandZee]

Is Alonso rockin' some mousse in those silvery locks? Looks so chill and effortless 👍

[@BreakfastAllDay]

He is always spiffy.

[@jasoncarrick5461]

So this is "Director Barbie" and "Stuntman Ken".....lol. I am looking forward to this and glad it got good reviews from you two. I loved Alonso with the "Hudson Hawk" mention, a much-underrated fun movie. Also a truly great movie with Gosling and Russell Crowe is "T/ Nice Guys", it is so great!

[@BreakfastAllDay]

The Nice Guys is awesome. Wish more people had seen it.

[@jasoncarrick5461]

@@BreakfastAllDay Update!! So, I just watched this, and you guys nailed the review, I am more at like a 7, I laughed a few times and some good action, definitely agree it is too long. Emily and Ryan are great together as you said but Ryan seems to have chemistry w/ everyone he stars with, lol.

[@nocturnus009]

Openly wondering if the fix for this [🍿🎥] is nutritional yeast. Seriously, nutritional yeast adds that umami cheesy flavor that elevates the popcorn. What is the personification of adding nutritional yeast for production? Is said process something that can be applied across all creative. I’m thinking of the point Betty Edwards makes when she asks her practitioners to explore the intertextual connections in creative endeavors in the 4th edition of Drawing on the right side of the brain.

[@kellyrob4296]

I LOVED Atomic Blonde! I gotta see if ya’ll reviewed it!!♥️

[@BreakfastAllDay]

We did it on the old channel! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnbTc4ChhJxqerssi=pAi7ME1kE4qd_I1j

[@lisahall9061]

Loved it too.

[@selena___]

Agree the movie was too long. The trailer seemed to promise a certain pace but it didn’t disappoint with the stunts What are people talking about that there was no chemistry. Ryan in particular carried. And I was intrigued by Aaron with the rumours he will succeed Daniel Craig

[@planetg2125]

Hollywood at its best. Just great

[@greenday0courtney]

From what I could see in the trailers, it looked like there were some cool costumes in the film too. What did you think?

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Ryan Gosling gets to wear some very cool stuff.

[@squatch545]

It's true, Christy does her own stunts.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Yes but it's getting tougher these days :)

[@PurushaDesa]

Wanted to like it and just couldn't. I found it really smug with irritating "banter" that goes on forever like one of Judd Apatow's Extended DVD Editions. The last thing I'd describe this as is _zippy_ - made me yearn for the days of Romancing the Stone or True Lies or Long Kiss Goodnight where the comedy never undercuts the action. Shame because there's a fun Shane Black style mystery buried under all that mess.

[@mireiavallescastro6756]

I also wished that they had left Blunt singing the whole time during that sequence... But overall it was really good entertainment. I had a lot of fun watching it. ❤❤

[@crithon]

overlay sounds, too long.... I kinda get the idea, But I'm in the minority, I have seen enough Ryan Gosling films in one hand and it's like "Uh, kinda don't know what's the big deal 25 years later." But yeah, 2 hours is too much, 1:40 is the sweet spot.

[@brianng8350]

Not a big Gosling or Blunt or Fall Guy fan, but heard nothing but good things for the most part.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

You'll have to check it out and let us know what you think!

[@brianng8350]

@@BreakfastAllDay I actually love the rom-com aspect of the movie more than the action. The Emily Blunt action sequence is better than any of the stuff Ryan Gosling is doing , surprisingly. It's okay, but not something I would repeatedly watch.

[@mchoneyofficial4761]

I thought Aaron Taylor Johnson was really meh in this actually! He's been a lot better in nowhere boy, kickass, bullet train. I was kind of disappointed in the stunts. I thought a lot of it was quite typical, I was hoping to see something more exciting and inventive. Also thought the jokes were hit and miss. Ryan gosling kind of carries it. Everyone else is just ok or meh. I'd give it a 5 or 6 out of 10.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Sorry to hear that!

[@mchoneyofficial4761]

@@BreakfastAllDay so am I!

[@TheCazz10]

Big Ryan Gosling fan here, and I was expecting to really enjoy this film but for me it crashed and burned. Most of the jokes fell flat - it tried too hard to be funny. No one in the theatre laughed once. The action scenes dragged on too long - too much repetitive punching, especially by women. Having a female camera woman and joke about blank bullets in a gun was in bad taste. Too soon after the death of Helena Hutchins. Emily Blunt needs to lay off the injectables - suffering from frozen face. You're an actor - how can you show emotion when nothing moves?

[@jadapandy]

My wife and I just saw it and were disappointed. Overlong, boring, underdeveloped characters, zero chemistry between main characters, etc... The best part was the dog and music score. Save your time and money folks!

[@VictorDiGiovanni]

Epic sponsor segue.

[@raydunn8262]

Thank you. Does the film add to the voice that stunt work should be awarded Oscars? Similar to casting will be awarded Oscar's starting in 2026.

[@MrAjphux]

One line of the film makes that statement, and that's it. No answer or elaboration.

[@rodneywyatt9441]

Another rom-com, Nuff said!

[@lisahall9061]

I thought it was very sexy withoutoverdoing it. They have great chemistry. I could have done without emilies fight scene with with ryan. Too contrived and rough.. silly. But really enjoyed the movie. Saw it 2xs.. nothing else out there and theyre so cute together.. made it fun.

[@areusirius2054]

what a flick this is gonna be looks like

[@billvegas8146]

Not Tom Cruise, Tom Ryder... get it? The entire movie is constantly laughing at the very idea that Cruise allegedly does his own stunts.

[@bleuthold]

Whoever at Universal must have been pissed when they found out Godzilla x Kong used "I Was Made For Loving You"

[@BreakfastAllDay]

It is an ANTHEM.

[@bleuthold]

I guess Universal tagged WB back with the jabs at the Dune score in this movie. Lots of fun. Me, my wife and the in-laws enjoyed it 💥

[@leblancgeorges1479]

The producers of the movie are obsessed with the Kiss song.They are at least three versions of it in the film.

[@jamiegagnon6390]

Sounds like they took very little from the source material.

[@yv3652]

Perfect ad segue👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Ha ha, thank you!

Wow this being good was not on my bingo card

I THOUGHT THIS WAS A VERY BORING MOVIE TO THE FACT I WALKED OUT..A GOOD NETFLIX MOVIE BUT NOTHING GOING TO THE THEATRE WORTHY

[@ChunkyLemonMilk]

I had to turn off the review the moment the woman mentioned it being “blah”. Ugh I hate pretentious reviewers who can’t let themselves enjoy things.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

What are you talking about? We had a blast watching this movie and we’re baffled as to why it wasn’t a giant hit.

[@Frybyte]

I'm offended that you don't mention the first film called Stunt Man- I thought you both were film informed and that movie was great and before the TV show so there's ignorance showing. Shape up.

[@kevinmaynard249]

Honestly this is a terrible year so far aside from most of Challengers, and Housekeeping for Beginners.

[@mykhedelic6471]

No Lee Majors, no Fall Guy. More like, "Autumn Guy." 🙄

Why does this man have a pride book set up for a prop? Why does there always have to be an agenda instead of just a movie review? Mercy we need to get past this.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Hi AJ, thanks so much for watching our review. Alonso actually wrote that book and is very proud -- no pun intended -- to display it during our videos. He is an expert on queer cinema.
