Watch Run, Fatboy, Run For Free

An Exercise In Nonsense

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

If the man didn't finish the run, the woman didn't go back to him and the successful businessman didn't go evil all of a sudden at the end, I probably will give this film a 7. Unfortunately it turns out a stupid and naive story eventually. Guess the director believes the fantasy in Friends too much.

Is this anything new? No it is not. We have seen this kind of movie before. Estranged father wants to win his family back by doing something stupid.Is this well directed? No not really. Is this well acted? No not really. Has this a good story? No not really.But.... and yes there is a but, at least for me. This movie actually made me laugh out loud a couple of times. Not many movies can say that. No this is not a great movie, like i said above.I still think it is a quirky movie that is worth watching. Don't expect to much and just watch it

While the story in "Run Fatboy Run" was good, then this was hardly one of Simon Pegg's best movies. Why? Well, because it just wasn't particularly funny.I must admit that I had higher hopes for this movie, given it being a Simon Pegg movie. Just a shame that the movie was lacking more comedy and funny situations that would make the audience laugh.The story is about Dennis (played by Simon Pegg) who is somewhat out of shape and who ran out on his pregnant wife to be on the day of their wedding. As a new man comes into his ex-fiancée's life, Dennis is forced to take a hard look at his life and himself. So he decides to compete in a marathon to prove his worth.Granted, Simon Pegg did an alright job, he just didn't have any real comedy to work with in the script. But I will say that there is a good bunch of British comedians in the movie. If you enjoy British comedy you will get a kick out of seeing Dylan Moran, Stephen Merchant and David Walliams in this movie.A shame that the movie lacked more laughs and funny moments, because it would have brought the movie out of the mediocre lane.

Underdog stories usually tend to be a bit formulaic, but this movie mocks the whole underdog cliché by just going completely over the top. Everything about this movie is retardedly implausible, and that's pretty much where all its charm seems to come from. Well, not all its charm, because Simon Pegg definitely deserves some credit as well. He does the same schtick he already did in "Shaun Of The Dead" (even the love subplot is eerily similar), but there's nothing wrong with not changing a winning team. A good underdog movie always has you cheering for the anti-hero, and this one drags out its finale so long that the obligatory corny euphoric moment lasts for roughly twenty minutes. Just picture the decisive homerun from "Major League" or the winning touchdown from "Remember the Titans", this movie's entire third act feels like that. Not the definitive sports comedy, but undoubtebly one of the funniest.
