“Idiocracy,” indeed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mike Judge’s 2006 classic predicted the dumbing down of society. If Hollywood has its way, we’ll get there sooner than later.<\/p>\n

And we can partly blame “The Fall Guy.”<\/p>\n

The action comedy lifts its title and main character from the Lee Majors TV show. The action romp does what 99 percent of modern blockbusters do – reduce the source material to endless action and stupefying storylines.<\/p>\n

We’re not expecting a “Fall Guy” movie to quote Shakespeare, but for the love of all that’s holy can’t a wannabe blockbuster hold together in some fashion?<\/p>\n

Ryan Gosling stars as Colt Seavers, a veteran stuntman who leaves Hollywood after a brutal accident. The story picks up 18 months later, and Colt is dragged back to the business at the prodding of hard-charging producer Gail (“Ted Lasso’s” Hannah Waddingham).<\/p>\n

The gig reunites Colt with his old flame, Jody (Emily Blunt). They dated before his devastating accident, but she’s moved on, and up, since then.<\/p>\n

She’s now directing the latest Tom Ryder blockbuster, and she doesn’t need Colt distracting her from a crack at the big time.<\/p>\n

Except Tom (Aaron Taylor-Johnson, wasted) has gone missing, and Gail hopes Colt can both perform the necessary stunts AND track the A-lister down.<\/p>\n

Or something.<\/p>\n

Ryan Gosling said The Fall Guy is obviously a "love letter to the stunt community" at the film's premiere.<\/p>\n
