  • Run, Fat Boy, Run: The Cure for the Common Slob

    Mar 29 '08
    Pros: Pegg's low-key British humor is good for a laugh. Maybe two laughs.
    Cons: You've seen this all before.

    Summary: Lately, the romantic-comedy (telegraphically known as the “rom-com”) has started to take a decidedly rumpled turn toward something resembling bad breath, flatulence and beer bellies. The Hollywood Dream Factory is starting to resemble the ... read more

  • Run, Fat Boy, Run: cheer for the underdog

    Dec 08 '09
    Pros: Funny scenes in this movie, likeable characters.
    Cons: pretty predictable.

    Summary: I'm not sure what made me want to rent this movie from Netflix other than I like British humor and the title sounded like it had to be a fun film.We meet Dennis (Simon Pegg) on the day of his wedding. His bride-to-be, Libby (Thandie Newton) is ... read more

  • Run Fatboy Run... back to the video store

    Jul 21 '09
    Pros:
    Good Ending
    Cons:
    Lackluster Beginning

    Summary: Let's face it, long before he played Montgomery Scott in the Star Trek restart, most folks knew that Simon Pegg was funny. Shaun of the Dead was funny enough to kill people (and leave them staggering down the aisles looking ... read more

  • An athletic movie for non-athletes: "Run, Fatboy, Run"

    Oct 31 '08
    Pros: Great cast, funny script, nice direction--a much funnier movie than we expected.
    Cons: None.

    Summary: Right now my wife and I are "in training" to run a little race on Thanksgiving morning.  The "Turkey Trot" might be a 5K, might be a 10K, but it has us both running on the treadmill every day, and some days we need a little more inspiration than ... read more

  • The High End of Mediocrity

    Oct 19 '08
    Pros: Zippy, entertaining, lite, maybe a bit cynical, in fact.
    Cons: Almost typical, almost forgetable.

    Summary: Watch me lose marks on this one. If I get even a "helpful" I'll be mildly amazed. I'm angry! The site isn't working worth a cowflop and I can't log in to review Indiana Jones amp; The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, which is all I wanted to do tonight. ... read more

  • Don't think. Just run with it.

    Apr 29 '08
    Pros: For something so awful, this sure is great.
    Cons: For something so great, this sure is awful.

    Summary: Depending on how you want to frame things, the 2007 film Run Fat Boy Run is either a much worse or a much better film than it has any right to be. Much worse, both because it stars the unconventionally charming, hysterically funny Simon Pegg – ... read more

  • Amusing Lightweight Fare

    Apr 02 '08
    Pros: Good acting, amusing premise
    Cons: Premise has been done way too many times

    Summary: I'll get this out of the way right now, Run Fa Boy, Run is your essentially lovable romantic comedy but with maybe a few slight detours along the way. The story follows a guy named Dennis (Simon Pegg), a lazy and very out of shape Londoner who left ... read more
