What? No I'm not gonna calm down. This movie is, with no exaggeration, hyperbole, or embellishment, a perfect movie. After watching this movie I wanted to immediately go and get another ticket to see it again.
We showed two trailers for this movie. Did you know I hate seeing the second trailer for a movie? Because the second trailer always sucks. It always spoils too much and is completely unnecessary. Also they usually are just worse in general. But the Fall Guy? Nope, both the trailer we had were pretty good. Honestly they were mostly the same trailer, just with a different classic rock song.
Also did you know this is based of a TV show? Yeah, I didn't until the movie came out. I literally think that the only thing they took from the show was the character names and that the lead is a stuntman.
What's The Movie About?
Doesn't matter, you will like it. After a terrible accident, stuntman Colt Seavers gets pulled back into being in movies and needs to find the lead man, or else the movie is ruined and his crush, the director, will miss her big break.
What I Like.
Everything. The characters are good. The action is great. The comedy is hilarious. The premise is fun. The story is exciting. The acting is charming. The romance is beautiful. The editing is wonderful. The music is excellent. The pacing is superb. The dialogue is jovial. The movie is just fucking perfect.
I just... don't know if I can say more. Scratch that, I KNOW I can say more, but I don't want to. Not only would it just be me repeating the movie back verbatim thus spoiling it for you all, it would just be incredibly redundant. All I can really say is I really really REALLY REALLY really love this movie and all of it's parts. It doesn't feel like a movie made for me, but it feels like a movie for the people who made it. Specifically stuntmen and women, but really all the little people who's blood, sweat, and tears go into making movies.
In the movie, the heroes are not the actors, producers, or directors. The big celebrities are all assholes. The producers are corrupt and overbearing. The director means well, but she's a little bit dippy. The hero of the movie is a stuntman, and everyone who really helps him are other stuntpeople, technicians, prop makers, writers, artists, special effects people, assistants, and coordinators. Y'know, all the people who allow the movie makers to actually make the movies. Hell, even on the villain side the ones driving the plot forward are the actor's bodyguards. All blue collar men, women, and enbies. There are so many movies, and I've seen so many movies, where the heroes are the directors, or actors, or the day is saved with the power of film/filmmaking. And I don't really like those movies. I think they are really pretentious, and self-masturbatory in a way. This movie doesn't feel like either. It feels like someone who understands the struggles those people go through and wanted to show their appreciation. Makes a lot of sense, considering the director was a stuntman before moving on up.
I love this movie.
What I Didn't Like.
Nothing. Literally nothing. Even things I don't normally like are good in this movie. This movie has a dog who's main purpose in the movie is to bite bad guys in the dick and I still thought he was cute despite the fact that would normally terrify me.
Final Summation.
Do I recommend this movie? DO I RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE? DID YOU READ MY REVIEW? OF COURSE I DO!
Okay okay, folks. Folks. I tend to embellish my language a lot. I get very caught up in things I see and feel very passionately about it. I understand that may make it hard to take my reviews seriously when it seems like every good movie is a masterpiece and every bad movie is complete garbage, but SERIOUSLY. The Fall Guy is a masterpiece. It is absolute entertainment from beginning to end and everyone should watch it.

I wonder if the show is any good.
