Ryan Reynolds’ new movie IF is now available to watch at home

Following its release in cinemas last month, IF is now available to watch at home after being released on digital platforms in the US. The new family movie from writer-director John Krasinski sees Ryan Reynolds play Cal who helps his neighbour, a young girl called Bea (Cailey Fleming), when they’re both able to see imaginary friends.

IF is now available to buy or rent in the US from Prime Video, iTunes and other participating digital retailers.

Paramount has yet to confirm a UK digital release date for IF and it’s not yet available to watch at home in the UK. However, you can pre-order it from Prime Video and iTunes to be able to watch it as soon as it’s released.

Talking to Digital Spy before the release of IF, Krasinski admitted to being aware that his new movie was being compared to Pixar, but added it wasn’t his inspiration.

“I was actually more trying to reference the movies I grew up on, which would be ET or The Goonies. The thing about those movies that was so indelible to me is the idea that they treated me as more than just a kid,” he explained.

“That thematically and emotionally I would be able to handle much more as an 8-year-old than the rest of the world thought I could.”

Among the voice cast of IF‘s imaginary friends are Steve Carell, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Emily Blunt and Krasinski himself as a marshmallow who’s always on fire.

For Waller-Bridge, it marked a Fleabag reunion as Fiona Shaw stars as Bea’s grandmother in the movie.

“She’s the key to Fleabag, and she’s the key to this film too. If you really want something to fly, you cast Fiona Shaw,” she praised.
