Free Guy - Ryan Reynolds - Lil Rel Howery

Luca is film about two young boys (Alberto Scorfano and Luca Paguro), who are on an adventure in an Italian seaside town.

While in visiting the town of Portorosso, the boys meet a girl named Giulia Marcovaldo who is smart and feisty! However what … [Read more...]
