It only makes sense that a television star would turn to a fellow practitioner for his first film. With Run Fatboy Run--no commas, please--Friends' David Schwimmer doesn't reinvent the romantic comedy, but he finds the perfect lovable loser of a lead in TV vet Simon Pegg (Faith in the Future, Spaced). On his wedding day, London lay-about Dennis (Pegg, who co-wrote with Michael Ian Black) deserts his pregnant fiancée, Libby (Crash's Thandie Newton), seconds before the ceremony. Crippling insecurity--which remains unexplored--prevents him from finishing anything ("Not even a sentence," Libby quips). Flash-forward five years, and he's a loving dad to son Jake (the charming Matthew Fenton), but sports a small potbelly, smokes too much and entertains no ambition beyond his job as security guard at a high-end boutique. Fortunately, he has friends, like gambler Gordon (Shaun of the Dead co-star Dylan Moran) and avuncular landlord Mr. Ghoshdashtidar (Harish Patel). Fit American financier Whit (Huff's Hank Azaria) shakes up his routine when he starts seeing Libby. To win her back, Dennis trains for the same 26-mile charity marathon as Whit. No one believes he can make it to the end, and even Dennis has doubts, but true love is a formidable motivator. It may not have been Schwimmer's intention, but there's more chemistry between the buddies than the couples. That makes the movie a must for fans of Pegg and the scene-stealing Moran--but optional for admirers of Newton and Azaria. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

this movie was bittersweet and a laugh. to top it off, pegg's character's uphill battle with his commitmentphobe underachiever status is something to behold. as is his eye-catching facial expressions.
my firsthand experience with all the down-sides to running (and hiking) long distances may have swayed me to be biased in liking it. oh well, the fight scence between denny and his best friend was a laugh.

Dennis Doyle's (Pegg) been running away from his responsibilities for most of his life. In the first scene, we see him fleeing his wedding leaving a very pregnant girlfriend Libby (Thandie Newton) at the altar.
Years have passed and they never married, but they do have a great kid together. Jake (Matthew Fenton) is into LOTR, newly discovered girls, and he's trying to find his way in life.
So's his Mom. She's found a new love, Whit (Hank Azaria). Whit sounds like everything ... Read More

Being a single guy and not into chick flicks, this was a very funny and warm movie set around one of my passions, running. It painted a very funny and accurate picture of someone who would run a marathon with no previous training. It was nice to see they actually researched or knew something about the sport. I highly recommend this movie, especially if you have to see it with a girlfriend or wife, because they will enjoy it, as will you, which is the most important thing, right? Of course.

This movie hinges on your opinion of Simon Pegg. Personally, I think he's one of the best actors around. He's funny and smart, yet audiences like myself can relate to him and his characters. The story isn't top notch, as it's riddled with cliches, but it's good enough to recommend to anyone who wants to laugh.

While I found the film to be shallow and short on humor, I did still enjoy it. Simon's character's interaction with his son was heartwarming and you just can't help but enjoy Simon's personality in his films. In the end, I found the movie shallow and I don't know how hard I would recommend the film to the average viewer.
Spoilers may follow
Early on the movie points out how absurd it is that Simon's character would feel that he could win over his ex by running a marathon but ultimately ... Read More
