![]() ![]() We didn’t lay on top of each other or kiss. The definition of sex for this story: his penis went into my vagina. It took place in his bedroom at his house. In my community, I had sex when I was 8 years old with a boy who was also 8 years old. ![]() My grandmother, a firm RLDS believer, thought that dancing was the work of the devil. Sex, cigaretttes and booze were all taboo in there. But I lived in an RLDS community for my entire childhood, surrounded by both religious zealots and well-meaning Christians. This particular religion didn’t make a lot of sense to me as a child, so I never joined it. Maybe I'm looking too deep into the message of FREE GUY and maybe it was conceived just so Ryan Reynolds could screw around for two hours, but either way the price of admission is well worth it for an amazing time at the theater.At an early age I was told by adults in this community that I was going to hell because I would frequently respond with a “No” when asked the question, “Do you believe in God?” My parents decided to let me and my brother decide for ourselves if we wanted to join the RLDS church or not. ![]() Lately I feel as though I have lost my faith in humanity with all that is happening in the world, so it is refreshing to get a movie that feels confident in the human experience. FREE GUY is worth going to see because it is one of the few quality films right now that increases one's faith in human nature. Sure, the last thirty minutes are very cheesy and contain a lot of clichés, but the buildup is so solid that it earns some dumb rom-com moments near the end. It never dives quite as deep as the latter film, but the fact that it even has the guts to include these themes made this easygoing big-budget movie a far better watch for me. There are times where the heartwarming aspects of this film resemble a charming romantic comedy and others where it gets so existential that it almost feels like The Truman Show. FREE GUY has tons of heart and authenticity despite its virtual reality-based plot, and is about very human emotions such as disillusionment, the feeling of being trapped, and, of course, love. However, this movie isn't just hilarity and crazy antics, although it could easily get by on those aspects alone. The ensemble combines to create the most consistently funny movie of 2021 so far. He also interacts with the other actors in the film very well, including Jodie Comer and Joe Keery, two underrated actors who prove here that they aren't just one-time stars from their respective television shows (Killing Eve and Stranger Things). Most of his dialogue is clearly either written by him or created by him on the spot (I have no idea how he hasn't received a screenwriting credit for this and the Deadpool movies), and the film is that much better as a whole because of it. To put it simply, perhaps the main reason this movie comes together so well is because of Ryan Reynolds' constant charisma and hilarity. Not only is FREE GUY constantly hilarious due to Reynolds and an inventive screenplay, and not only is this possibly the feel-good event of the summer, but it also has a considerable amount of thought put into the meaning of its premise and places a mirror in front of modern-day video game culture. The actual movie, however, could not be further from the worst estimates. The plot seems like a cheap knockoff of films like Ready Player One or even The Matrix, but made in a crude fashion to make more money at the box office. One glance at FREE GUY, the newest big budget offering from Hollywood's favorite action-star/comedy master Ryan Reynolds, will cause most to approach with valid skepticism.
