Not even Ryan Gosling in the stuntman role can save this unfunny, dreary nonsense

Crazy, Stupid Love. Unhappily, there’s no saving this spittoon of bad ideas, tragically unfunny zingers and green-screen dreck. Watching Gosling as the titular stuntman turned bounty hunter in this hub of heel-dragging ineptitude is not unlike witnessing a precious artefact disappear into molten ick.

To be fair to Blunt, she has nothing to work with. A blob of indecision, karaoke and tequila shots, her character would embarrass Bridget Jones. As this is a post-MeToo Hollywood product, she gets a girlboss job and a token two-minute action scene. Hooray? Blunt plays Jody, the director of a big-budget sci-fi movie and the springboard for blundering metatextual interplay between The Fall Guy and the film within the film.
