Dwight’s Rating:

Yummy! Ultimate supreme pizza – piled so high with toppings, you feel your biceps and triceps twitch when attempting just to pick up one slice.

And you practically have to dislocate your jaw in order to get your mouth around a piece, with all that dough, crust and cheese and every single thing you could ever conceive of putting on a pizza. It’s like every meal you should have in one day rolled into one.

The new film “Free Guy” feels like the cinematic equivalent of ultimate supreme pizza, with several movies and TV shows from the past few years all in one.

Here’s the premise: When Guy, a bank teller (Ryan Reynolds), discovers he’s actually a background player in an open-world video game, he decides to become the hero of his own story – one that he can rewrite himself. In a world where there are no limits, he’s determined to save the day his way before it’s too late, and maybe find a little romance with the coder (Jodie Comer) who conceived him.

So, yes, that sounds like “The Truman Show” (1998) with Jim Carrey, who didn’t know that his life was a TV show watched by millions.
