Austin Chronicle

This is no Ernest Cline novel; our emotional connection to the world and its characters goes far beyond the level of pop culture references.

Rated: 3.5/5

The Age (Australia)

Free Guy is a very knowing movie, but part of its knowingness is its pop lightness -- even its blandness, if that can be seen as a virtue.

Rated: 3/5

Free Guy is a big old mess. It's a movie that's more parts than the sum of its parts.

Rated: 2.5/5

FILMHOUNDS Magazine

While it’s faux-philosophy about being kind NPC characters is both weird and unfunny, the rousing nature of the film’s good spirit often masks faults in it’s logic

Rated: 4/5

KGET-TV (Bakersfield, CA)

Ryan Reynolds again proves he has a real knack for being able to combine huge action scenes and fast-paced humor into one strong production. It is his work in this look inside the video game world that is the real winner.

Rated: 3/4
