The Fall Guy is the perfect movie to launch the summer season

The Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt action-rom-com is utterly fantastic.

With The Fall Guy releasing on Friday, May 3, it’s officially summer movie season. The Ryan Gosling-Emily Blunt led action rom-com isn’t just a long-overdue homage to the stunt community, it’s an homage to the film industry as a whole.

Gosling is undeniably and utterly charming as Colt Seavers, a top-of-his-game stuntman until a terrible accident turns his life upside down. Seavers gets back into the stunt world when he thinks his former love, Jody Moreno (Emily Blunt) needs him to help finish her first film as a director.

From there, it’s just chaos as Seavers is enlisted by producer Gail (Hannah Waddingham) to help track down the movie’s star, Tom Ryder (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), after he finds himself in some trouble.

Where The Fall Guy succeeds is in it’s cast and the action. Gosling and Blunt have incredible charisma and chemistry together, and (unsurprisingly) the film has never-ending stunt sequences that are just flat out fun to watch. Director David Leitch, who used to be a stuntman and stunt coordinator himself, took such obvious care to show the physical and emotional toll taken on the unsung heroes of the movie world.

Supporting performances from Winston Duke and Stephanie Hsu are expertly deployed, as is the introduction of Jean-Claude, the trained stunt dog that only responds to commands in French (Allons-y, Jean-Claude!).

There’s so much to like about The Fall Guy, and it’s the kind of movie that reminds you just how much fun it is to go sit in a theater, relax, eat some popcorn and let the magic flow over you.

Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt hysterically roasted each other over Barbenheimer during 2024 Oscars

Okay, this was hilarious.

“Barbenheimer” was the biggest film event of 2023, and two of its central players had a blast ribbing each other over being in the rival films.

Emily Blunt, who played Kitty Oppenheimer in Oppenheimer, and Ryan Gosling, who played Ken in Barbie, both got a really fun moment in Sunday’s 96th Oscars ceremony while introducing a tribute to stunt workers.

The two roasted each other over their movies, as Oppenheimer has fared better at the awards but Barbie made more money and led the cultural conversation.

The two will be in this May’s The Fall Guy, and we’re already loving the chemistry these two have while joking with each other.

Emily Blunt’s awards history at the Oscars

Has Emily Blunt ever won an Academy Award?

Emily Blunt has turned into one of the most beloved actors in her profession, appearing in blockbuster films like A Quiet Place, Mary Poppins Returns and Edge of Tomorrow to name a few.

Her performance in Christopher Nolan’s historical epic Oppenheimer as Kitty Oppenheimer earned her an Oscar nomination in Best Supporting Actress, which is fascinatingly the first of her distinguished career.

It’s a bit of a surprise that Blunt has never been nominated at the Academy Awards, but she’ll likely find herself nominated in the future as she’s one of the most in-demand working actors in Hollywood.

We’ll know on March 10 if Blunt is able to capitalize on her first nomination for her first-ever Oscar win.
