I enjoyed Free Guy more than expected. Kind of a weird mash up of Wreck it Ralph, Ready Player One, The Truman Show, and Her that somehow works as a entertaining comedy adventure touching on interesting themes and poking fun at video games. Reynolds carries the movie and I liked the world building and associated action and effects but try not to think too hard about the plot. Not much of a story here and it felt over extended at times with filler to build tension. I wish more time was spent fleshing out the characters and exploring the sci fi themes. Overall I would recommend as one of the better comedies in recent memory. Turn your brain off and have fun for 2 hours. 8/10
