Wonderful post, Tania. I really needed that quote from Bagieu today.

Oh, and I also enjoyed "Free Guy"! (Although, I've been wondering: is Ryan Reynolds just ripping off Will Ferrell's entire schtick from "Elf"?)

I'm glad that quote resonated with you, too 💛

And: I haven't seen Elf (should I?) but I think that is spot on. Ha!

If you're ever in need of a feel-good Christmas movie, "Elf" is a great one!

Just watched Free Guy too. It was fun for sure.

Ha! They did something right with their marketing, because I was drawn to it even though I didn't think I was their target audience, hehe

Even though I loved the concept behind Free Guy from the very first trailer I saw years ago, I did not expect to enjoy the movie as much as I did! It was a remix of lots of other movies but with its own original spin.

Right?! Unexpected fun for me, too. What other movies did it remind you of?

For me it was a strange mix of Truman Show with Ready Player One and Wreck-It Ralph 😆

Three I haven't seen! Truman Show has been on my list forever.

Let me know your thoughts if you end up seeing any! If you like videogames and pop culture, Ready Player One and Wreck-It Ralph are extremely fun and uncomplicated films!
