It's a simple premise, told with no shortage of crass and coarse humor, that could've gone nowhere if it weren't for Ryan Reynolds. With Ryan Reynolds as the only actor on-screen for the whole length of the film, it puts all the attention on him. A forgotten comedy arrives on Netflix next week for fans that want to check out one of Ryan Reynolds' early leading roles. Reynolds tried his best, but it wasn't meant to be. That's putting it mildly. But it is not only a credit to the vibrant and commendable direction from Marjane Satrapi, but Ryan Reynolds' unlikely performance that really makes this movie sell. Beyond this bone-headed decision, Ryan Reynolds plays a very minor part in this film, and he really ever gets beyond a moment or two to shine. And though it took a long time to get it on the big screen justly, Deadpool proved everyone wrong by becoming a gleeful, cheeky middle-finger to the other superhero movies before it, while still falling in line with their heartfelt spirit. At least we got a nod in Deadpool 2... Before Deadpool exploded its way onto the big screen and following the fallout of the utterly laughable Green Lantern, Ryan Reynolds had another comic book adaptation up his sleeve. https://variety.com/2020/film/news/ryan-reynolds-upstate-netflix-1234748120 Though it was well-liked upon release, it has earned a bigger cult following for those romantic types who are looking for something comforting and sweet during a date night on the couch, while still offering something a little different than your garden variety romantic comedy. As for John August, he is coming fresh off of the success of Disney's live-action Aladdin remake last year, which grossed more than $1 billion at the box office. Now that we mentioned Ryan Reynolds' Best Films, let's switch things up. Reynold also has several major projects in development including a Clue reboot and a new take on A Christmas Carol. Sure enough, Ryan Reynolds is typically at his best when he makes something that's at least a little subversive, while still hitting on the hallmarks of a given genre. 1. The Voices is a disturbing and twisted movie that is given nuance, depth and surprising tenderness from Ryan Reynolds' remarkable performance. But at its core, it represents the rise and fall and rise again of Reynolds' constantly wavering career. Joined alongside Hope Davis and a pre-fame Melissa McCarthy, both of whom are also fantastic in this movie, The Nines finds Ryan Reynolds taking on a variety of different roles throughout the course of this twist-heavy drama. The actor has once again partnered with the streaming service for a new original comedy titled Upstate. It's a risky proposition for a lot of comedic performers, with the success rate being varied-at-best. It also introduced Ryan Reynolds to his lovely wife and the mother of his kids, Blake Lively, and it obviously gave him great self-deprecating material later on. While Ryan Reynolds and directors/screenwriters Anna Boden & Ryan Fleck (Captain Marvel) are perhaps best known for their new superhero movies, their first (and, to date, only) team-up came before their biggest blockbusters. In this case, Ryan Reynolds, one of the most in-demand stars in the business, partnering with an equally in-demand screenwriter for an original comedy seems like the sort of thing a rival studio would have gone for. He has also made some regrettable ones.
Thankfully, he shines in this dark, underseen little thriller. There's no doubt that he should be at the forefront of a few raunchy comedies.
Beyond the gross-out humor, the sex jokes and the general raunchiness on display here, Van Wilder is able to work because Ryan Reynolds commits wholeheartedly to the crass, jubilant title role.

And that shouldn't diminish your feelings towards them, whether passionate or rage-inducing. Ryan Reynolds has put a lot of Hollywood content out into the universe. Reynolds and August previously collaborated on 2007's The Nines. All in all, though, this just means that Ryan Reynolds has made a lot of likable, exciting and re-watchable movies -- and maybe a few more duds than he'd like to admit.
