Free Guy is a fun, fast, positive and action-packed romantic fantasy science fiction comedy mash-up about a non-player character named Guy (affectionately played by Ryan Reynolds) who finds out that there's a larger world out there and he's just a small part of a modern, violent video game. He falls in love with player and game designer Molotov Girl/Millie (Jodie Comer), who's trying to find proof that the underlying, nearly forgotten game is more peaceful. Together they fight to save the peaceful world game and bring down the baddies-mostly Antwan (Taiki Waititi), CEO. There's a message about love, hope and never giving up amid the explosions and noise, and there's some funny moments in there as well to entertain everyone. See and smile!

Plot hole: When Guy kisses her, she questions how he did it - stating no "kiss" function existed in the game. However, later on after the reboot she proceeds to kiss him (rather than him kiss her).

Suggested correction: As one of the principal developers of the simulation engine, Millie recognizes that Guy is a non-player character (NPC) who merely obeys a loop of coded actions, and he's supposedly incapable of acting outside of his code. So, she means that NPCs can't just arbitrarily kiss players. Players can do whatever they want, but NPCs are mindless robots. At that point, however, she doesn't realise that Guy's Artificial Intelligence has evolved to independent self-awareness, allowing him to act outside of his code.

Key's actually says "There isn't a button for that" when Millie brings it up. There would be no way for her to initiate, as her in game actions would be limited to the controls offered.

By the time Millie kisses Guy, we know that the Free City simulation engine was already undergoing Artificial Intelligence evolution, essentially rewriting its own code, allowing Guy (and other NPCs) to achieve independent self-awareness. It follows that Free City was probably rewriting its player code, as well, making all sorts of new and startling functions possible for players and NPCs alike.

More quotes from Free Guy

Trivia: Ryan Reynolds wanted Chris Evans to have a brief cameo in the film. Evans was incredibly busy working on another project, and told the crew that while he definitely wanted to do the cameo... he literally had to be in-and-out of set in about ten minutes time because his schedule was so tightly packed. The crew did everything to prepare for Evans arrival, and once Evans got out of wardrobe/makeup and onto set, they were able to get his scene filmed and get him out in only seven minutes.

Answer: The movie was completely finished over a year ago. It was the pandemic that delayed it. So it was the finished product that was released.
