See this is the problem with there being no equivalent to Meg Ryan today.
This is the kind of movie where you would cast Meg Ryan.
The closest equivalent to Meg Ryan would be Emma Stone, but he’s already made three movies with her.
This movie failed due to a Meg Ryan DEFICIT.
Emily Blunt always plays the long suffering wife. Women don’t want to feel that when they go to a rom com. They want someone they can identify with but doesn’t threaten them. They want someone who CHOOSES a pixie haircut. They don’t want to look at Emily Blunt’s limp, brown ponytail.

Then she held him down with her legs around his neck until the cops arrived. That woman in Miu Miu boots was… Emily Blunt.

I never realized how truly bad Meg Ryan was. That scene on the train could have been the scene in the diner from When Harry Met Sally. Bowels turning to water = fake orgasm. She was the same in every damn movie. I guess that’s 90s romcoms.

I was crying on a park bench one day worried about my father’s health. A lovely young woman in a Stella McCartney chunky cardi and YSL tennies asked me what was wrong. I explained my dad needed a kidney or he’d die. She grabbed my hand, hailed a cab(“no time for an Uber!” she cried) and we went directly to hospital where she gave my father a kidney. Because it was Emily Blunt, they immediately sent my father to surgery and it was all done in about half an hour. God bless Emily Blunt.

Gosling and his team must be feeling pretty nervous right now. His face is botoxed beyond repair, and albeit the marketing never made clear what the movie was about or for, he can't be relied upon to open an action or rom-com film.

Challengers was an even bigger flop. It killed the idea of Zendaya being able to open or carry a film, or Josh O'Connor ever being a leading man. At least The Fall Guy will be a hit on streaming services.

My dying niece wanted nothing but a Paddinton Bear from Hamley’s in London. It was her last wish. So I cashed in my 401K, purchased a ticket to London and flew across the pond to make my angel’s dream come true.
As I reached the cash register, I realized I left my credit card in the states. I was crestfallen!
From behind my back, a black American Express card appeared, held by the most gorgeous porcelain hands I’ve ever seen.
“This is for Cayleigh,” she said.
It was Emily.
She not only purchased the priceless Paddington, she upgraded my flight to Business Class, paid for my to stay at the Savoy and pulled strings to get Cayleigh into an experimental treatment program. She’s now completely healed.
There are people. There are good people. And then there’s Emily Blunt.

This is what happens you make movies in quotation marks.
Also, they didn’t need to marry this to old, existing IP. Calling it The Fall Guy made it seem very dated - were they hoping to attract 70 year-olds?
Also, you could tell by the way they were overhyping Gosling it was bound to fail. He was promoting himself the whole time, making the film seem very secondary. People pay to see films. If you just liked Gosling - even though he is strangely unsexual, non-existent below the waist, never more so since playing Ken) - you could watch his many overwrought talk show appearances. He’s doing too much, over-extending the joke.
Also, stunts still need good movies. Nobody wants to watch a stunt reel.
In its promotion, this film reminded me of Hal Needham’s Hooper starring Burt Reynolds, a late ‘70s homage to stung men that failed to do Smokey & The Bandit business.
