Film critic tt stern-enzi asks us what happens when a storyteller dares to dream big, as when the premise of a TV series is adapted for the epic proportions of the big screen. Ryan Gosling’s action comedy The Fall Guy takes the leap, loosely basing this stunt-packed production off of a 1980s Lee Majors television series.

In his column this month and on Cincinnati Edition, tt stern-enzi looks at adaptations and ponders whether the big screen makes for the best narrative storytelling.
