Free Guy

[Opens Aug. 13 in theaters.] When a lonely, coffee-loving, blue-shirt-wearing bank teller (Ryan Reynolds) decides to pursue a curvy, sunglasses-wearing, leather-clad woman (Jodie Comer) on a whim in Free City in Shawn Levy's entertaining, imaginative, humorous, cameo-dotted (Alex Trebek, Channing Tatum, Hugh Jackman, Dwayne Johnson, John Krasinski, Tina Fey, Meg Fox, LazerBeam, DanTDM, Ninja, Pokimane, and Jacksepticeye), 115-minute comedy highlighted by striking special effects, he ends up discovering that he is actually an avatar in a videogame as are the other clueless citizens (Camille Kostek, et al.), including his security guard best friend (Lil Rel Howery) and the coffee shop barista (Octavia Chavez-Richmond), and wants to spice up his mundane life while empathetic and concerned videogame developers (Jodie Comer, Joe Kerry, and Utkarsh Ambudkar) try to help their creations and stop the videogame owner (Taika Waititi) from shutting down Free City.
