Wonderful Movie

To me, this movie is perfection.

Must See Movie...

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Actually not really, but what would you expect with a title like that? It does depend on what you think of Simon Pegg and things like him being exhausted after 10 seconds of running. Also his "wardrobe" and the "handling" of it during certain scenes. Low level humor is what you could call it and depending on your mood or taste, you will like it or you won't like it at all.Simon Peggs character is also not the "biggest" of them all. I haven't watched any of those "Biggest Loser" shows, but I do know there is a difference between the people in that show and what Simon Pegg is having (on his bones). Having said that, not all the jokes work, but it's decent overall.

Run Fatboy Run (2007): Dir: David Schwimmer / Cast: Simon Pegg, Thandie Newton, Hank Azaria, Dylan Moran, Harish Patel: Hilarious comedy about encouragement yet the title also symbolizes fear of commitment as well. Simon Pegg stars as Dennis Doyle who flees from the alter leaving his pregnant fiancé behind. Five years later he is an out of shape security guard threatened when someone else takes his place. He decides to run in a marathon in hopes of proving himself. Director David Schwimmer does a decent job at getting viewers pumped up and behind Pegg as he embarks upon this challenge. Simon Pegg shines as a deadbeat just as he did in Shaun of the Dead. Here he realizes his mistake and sets out to correct it by correcting himself. Thandie Newton plays his forgiving ex-fiancée, Libby who has moved on to another relationship. Hank Azaria plays her new boyfriend who puts on a fake front and tries to call out Pegg. He is successful and looks down upon Pegg all the more for not being so. Finally Dylan Moran plays Libby's cousin Gordon who is also Pegg's best friend. Moran steals moments particularly when betting on Pegg with this marathon thus adding more pressure. Harish Patel plays his landlord who takes up the task of training him and uses odd methods to do so. Wonderful inspiring comedy about self worth that should have viewers cheering. Score: 10 / 10

Simon Pegg plays Dennis an overweight man who left his bride to be standing at the alter along with a baby, guess he got cold feet or something he couldn't go thru with it,, now later on, she met a different guy who has taken interest in her and the child,, so Dennis decides he has to find a way to win her back,, he finds out that the man has entered a Marathon, and figures that if he can show his long lost bride to be that he can finish something he starts instead of quitting on it, then he could possibly win her love back,, so he trains with a couple of friends for the big marathon,, then comes race day and all bets are off because pretty much you figure winner of the race will get to keep the girl,, not a bad movie,, kinda middle of the road average comedy.

In Run, Fatboy, Run, Simon Pegg plays a shlub to tries to prove himself to a girl he wronged years before.While the movie was funny from the get go, at first I was skeptical about the whole proving himself angle. Pegg's character comes across as a loser with no redeeming values, and at first I had trouble sympathizing with him. But the movie is smart, slowly allowing you to warm up to Pegg and to begin to root for him, at least a little. The movie doesn't get carried away with itself; if I were to jump from the beginning to the end of the movie, I would think it was absurd, but the film does a good job of building slowly and somewhat unsteadily to its end.It is also very funny. Maybe not as funny as Hot Fuzz, but very funny all the same, and quite likable.
