hyped garbage

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

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.

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.

I really, really liked this movie a lot more than I imagined I would. As you can tell from my title, I enjoy every movie that stars Pegg. He is very funny in this movie, he really has the ability to make a movie that is light and still very entertaining. He is natural at playing the character who has to persevere through a situation to reach his goal that seems so easily attainable for another person (Azaria in this case). There are good dramatic aspects with him winning back his love and being an excellent father throughout the course of the movie, save for a few slip-ups. It warms your heart while also making you laugh out loud at how naturally comedic Pegg can be. This is one that I have already watched multiple times and will definitely own one day. Overall, 8/10.

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.
