I wasn't aware that John, Ryan, and Steve were three people I needed to see together in the same space interacting like family. Can they just only work together from now on? That's asking too much....right?

[@jodijohnson23]

Agreed

[@Grungycat67]

That would totally work for me!!

[@rosed2955]

Absolutely. Sort of (and no disrespect to her) wish there was an interview with only these three? I think it would loosen up the dynamic a little bit.

[@AK-wl6xs]

"I would give him one of my daughters kidneys, even if he didn't need it." 😂

[@nancyouverson2777]

Did Mr Reynolds just disclose the gender of his fourth child?

[@durvaraut1360]

John still finds steve one of the most funniest person on the planet and still laughs at this jokes like he did in the bloopers of the office 🥺✋🏻

[@DanielleHayes-gq6ec]

JK said on the Office Ladies pod that Steve is the funniest person he’s ever met.

[@krys1075]

Although this was a “lazy” paper interview. This was definitely more intimate and unfiltered. I think I enjoy this way. It’s like talking with friends

[@zoren1900]

John hugging Steve 😊❤❤ 🤗

[@just.a.rookie]

Steve , Ryan and john I think its best of the best trio rn

[@user-xl6vt7ev2s]

The world needs more movies like these. Family oriented

[@chasehedges6775]

This film looks great and has a good cast. Also, that Goofy laug at 9:36 is GOLD

[@shadesofsylar]

Not being afraid to talk to and spend time with someone who is going through grief or a hard time.

[@javiersp15]

So Jack Ryan, Gru, Deadpool and young Rey Skywalker/Palpatine sit on the coach and answer questions.

You mean... Jim

​@@maru_mira😂some people have actually never watched The Office, believe it or not!

[@zhougong9957]

0:03. I like how Steve automatically looked at the paper when Ryan said lazy 😂😂

[@jairajparuthy8665]

Such a wholesome cast and great premise. I am surprised why is IF not receiving the buzz it should!!

[@heathernewbold406]

Three funny guys and a sweet girl! I loved this interview.

[@chasehedges6775]

💯

[@lLurchernut]

What a wonderful (sort of) interview 😃 so enjoyable I have actually saved it to watch again ❤️

[@villanessa]

I always thought John and Ryan are the same person so it's interesting that he cast him to play a version of himself 😂

[@arrowverselover100]

I saw the movie. I don't think Ryan was supposed to be John's character. Ryan played the imaginary friend and John played the girl's father.

[@pamrush5078]

I so love this movie

[@naveennarendiran2587]

9:06 Steve carell literally jump scared ryan Reynolds on purpose 😭

[@OptimusGPrime]

I guess that's better than him figuratively jump scaring him...

[@naveennarendiran2587]

"I think you gonna say I don't have heart " that is better 😅

[@noni4535]

LOVED this movie. Going to go see it again on the big screen.

[@patriciaschilling6290]

I love these people!! I can’t wait to watch it with my grand babies!!

[@chasehedges6775]

Cailey Fleming looks adorable and I hope she does a good job.

[@brianj3663]

She really is super cute! I think I've developed a little bit of a crush on her now....

She was really great in the movie

[@Oldshop928]

[@pd26224]

Yes she was and a great little actor in that also..I can see a good future ,she seems so grounded so far .

[@Entertainer989]

Could John and Ryan do a movie together so much BROMANCE OMG! plz

[@jodijohnson23]

Ryan “I’d give him one of my daughter’s kidneys, even if he didn’t need one” 😂😂😂

[@cgrant354]

This movie was therapeutic for me. I didn't even know I needed it.

[@Kevin-yl8uz]

Seriously, I felt the same way

[@rosemarybelore6622]

I can’t wait to see this❣️

[@rockero1313]

haven't seen it and I wanna see it, but I think I'm more excited to watch BTS and bloopers footage of it than the actual movie

[@swag94556]

Omg I need this movie in my life

[@moeinginberjaya1431]

9:31 Poor cailey, she trying to remember something to tell, then John unintentionally cut her memory thought, and thats it😂❤

Three Comedian in the round table 😂😊😂😊😂😊

steven spielberg is looking pretty good. ryan is proper annying because he is super talented and funny and one of the few men on this planet that can get away wearing that shirt.

[@spazzyshortgirl23]

Spielberg? You mean Steve Carell?

[@SGR166]

Hows that joke gone over your head 😭😭😭 ​@spazzyshortgirl23

[@molamolalaaa2968]

That’s Steve Carell, not Spielberg

[@lollymagic87]

Love them all! But my bf thought I just wanted to see it just cause Ryan was in it, but they are all amazing! 🤩 Oh and my favourite IF is Pop! I love bubbles! All the animations are created/crafted so amazing! 🤩

[@elissaartist9016]

They started to acknowledge me in Hollywood and I started to swirl

Okay I know it’s annoying for them but my Dunder Mifflin heart can’t contain itself ❤

[@mendozaartstudiollc1354]

Cailey Fleming appears to be an actor that we'll see much more of in the future. So Krasinski wrote this?

[@elissaartist9016]

Sedona started to acknowledge me and I also met them in person and that made me swirl too

[@elissaartist9016]

When Leo and Chris hemsworth started to acknowledge me

[@canadaclaret]

There were imaginary kids in my neighbourhood and I used to play with them sometimes, but they were more like imaginary acquaintances. Come to think of it, when cool kids came around, they would pretend they didn't know me. I guess they were imaginary bullies, when you get right down to it.

[@kahlil2classy798]

Saw the movie yesterday, i felt like ive been punched, in the heart 😭😭😭

[@elissaartist9016]

Obviously the world leaders started to acknowledge me too before Hollywood and that also made me swirl

[@bsalazar277]

Yes I Love The Awesome These Guys, Ryan, John, Steve, Cailey, I’m Going To Be Take an Agreed Them Everything Was Funny And Hilarious Parts The Scenes?

Bucky sort of acknowledged me

“Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends”

[@PharaohofVibes]

I think this interview format (although lazy) was better and more intimate. Often times the “reporter” makes these interviews worse, corny, dragged out, and awkward.

[@larasemerad2605]

Blue is just one of Ronald McDonald friends- Grimes.

[@iamarkhamknight]

Steve really can't open his mouth in front of a kid

[@Noah-kh4lm]

I heard that Chris pratt was first choice but was busy with Garfield

[@Random-xd4zm]

I mean the VFX Guys at Framestore created the Friends over 40 IF's thats just incredible but yeah its all about the cast......yeah right....why give shine to the vfx guys

[@checkmate3361]

SomeOne 4Got Yosemite Sam.🤠

And then Ryan Reynolds did

[@PrashantMhj]

I don't understand the need for keeping Ryan and Cailey in so weird positions compare to John and Steve... smh later when they got home after this interview... "Why my neck is hurting so much?" 🤔
