John Maguire on Film: The Fall Guy is a gag-packed, fun-filled delight

Finally, a bit of craic at the cinema. Not that we haven’t relished the epic convolutions of Dune Part II or Avatar: The Way of Water, but you’d miss old-fashioned mindless fun.

There is room in blockbuster cinema for reminders of the climate crisis, or warnings against the rise of fascism, but those are autumn/winter films, fleece and woolly hat films, whose baleful portents carry the shudder of frost and dark.

Packed with stars, big stunts, and perfectly-timed gags, The Fall Guy is a film to watch in a T-shirt before emerging, blinking and thoughtless, into the lazy glare of a summer evening, popcorn salt sticking to your lips.
