The Fall Guy has too many inside jokes and is way to happy with its own existance. It feels like the happiness of the audience was secondary.
Barbie managed to pull of an exceptional film using similar tools, whereas The Fall Guys falls a long way short.
The leads put on a charm offensive but all laughs are over simplified bordering on stupid.
An example of the in jokes, is the use of the sound effect of the Bionic Man in one scene, who was played by Lee Majors who played'The' Fall Guy in the tv show. How many audience members, for this demographic, would make that link. I was 6 when the Bionic Man was on tv?
Too try hard which was a shame :)
