re: Thoughts on The Fall Guy

Saw it today. Way too meta and cute in too many parts, which leads to no actual feeling of peril for the leads.

However, the parts that work, work extremely well.

Blunt and Gosling have high level on screen chemistry (although both kind of always do in light/comedic roles because they're so good in those roles).

Gosling iand Blunt are also probably two of the most likeable lead actors working today, which helps. Aaron Taylor-Johnson is quickly becoming great in everything he's in as well. His dipshit McCoughnahey ripoff was perfect.


Had a lot of strong aspects, but also quite a few weak ones. I'll probably never watch the film again except to see Emily Blunt doing Emily Blunt things. She could just read the encyclopedia and every red-blooded male would fall under her spell.
