If Emily (Jungle Cruise) Blunt has anything to do with it, it’s not funny — this is HE’s hard and fast rule.
Give Clayton Davis credit for at least admitting out of the gate that The Fall Guy (Universal, 3.3) is empty jizz-whizz. I proudly steered clear of last night’s all-media showing, and will mournfully submit to it Wednesday night like an Egyptian sphinx. I don’t care how many easy lays come out of the woodwork to insist how “funny” or “purely pleasurable” it is. So much of present-tense movie life is about spiritual drainage. Douse me with anhydrous butter fat, Leitch…pour gasoline, light match.

The Fall Guy rocks. Everyone involved is having the time of their lives and it shows. Ryan Gosling channels his performance in The Nice Guys to great effect. The action is strong, the comedy is stronger, and it’s so much fun. This deserves to be a big ole hit.@TheFallGuyMovie pic.twitter.com/UNT4Nn61n1
