Action and romance with doses of duplicity and deciet combine to make this a broadly appealing and enjoyable romcom.
Film-making and the role of the stuntman are the backdrop of course.
The script is tight - the nerd in me delighted in noticing good use of foreshadowing. No apparently trivial moments go to waste, some passing comments or props reveal their true purpose later as in any well-scripted play or film. I won't be offering spoilers though.
The visuals are well worth it with the viewer also at times invited to figuratively sit next to the crew and catch a glimpse of how stunts are performed.
Enjoyable on many levels, not least of which being the polished performances of Ryan Gosling, Emily Blunt and supporting cast.
Essentially a romantic comedy but, traditional males, you won't be disappointed.
