Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaRyan Reynolds personally talked to Mariah Carey for the rights to use her song "Fantasy" in the film. The rights issue was a little complex, however, as the song was directly sampled from the Tom Tom Club hit, "Genius of Love" (1981), the live version of which can be found in the Talking Heads concert film, Stop making sense (1984). Tom Tom Club was essentially Talking Heads without its leader, David Byrne. Samples of Genius of Love have appeared in over thirty songs attributed to other artists.
- GoofsKeys tells Millie that there is no button for kissing. However, the second time Guy and Millie kiss, it's Millie, not Guy, who performs the action first.

Review
Featured review
Fun but not great
I found this film to be a mix of films such as Ready Player One, Groundhog Day and The Truman show but not as good as any of these films. The story is a bit bland and apart from the main character some of the others aren't written that well especially the films antangonist who just comes off as cringey.
There's also constant references that are thrown at the audience which become too on the nose at times and the inclusion of well known streamers and you tubers got old quick. However, if you can switch your mind off for the run time there are some good jokes in the film and some fun scenes and it can be a somewhat enjoyable watch despite its flaws.
