Hola Janine, cómo estás?
Reír is an infinite verb
And Reírse is a reflexive verb
Me gusta reír
A mi mamá le gusta reírse.
Saludos,

Reírse es un verbo reflexivo. Siempre es “Reírse” yo por ejemplo. Yo me rio cuando escucho a mi mamá hablar sobre su trabajo. Si no lo utilizas como un verbo reflexivo, suena extraño la verdad.

The ending "se" on a verb usually makes it a "reflexive verb."
So the action of the verb does not leave the person who does the verb.
But a native speaker can explain it better, perhaps.
Good luck!

reír - La película me hace reír mucho.
reírse - Ella se ríe de la gente con quien no se lleva bien.
