4.0 out of 5 stars who knew running could be fun?, April 15, 2008

By	Bo �stergaard Jepsen (Beijing, China) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I too think, that the title "Run Fat Boy Run" is quite amusing and very apropriate for the film. Let me, in response to another reviewers question "who would pay money to see a fat boy run?" ask: who wouldn't?

The story is neither original nor complicated. At their wedding, Simon Pegg's character gets cold feet and takes off without explanation, leaving his pregnant girlfriend behind. 5 years down the line he, now a fat, pathtic looser without the mone to pay the rent, realises that he actually left the love of his life behind that day. She has found a rich, handsome, athletic American played very well by Hank Azaria, and has no need for her former fiance. So to win her back, Pegg must compete against his American competitor in a marathon race. Chaos and hilarity ensues.

Simon Pegg, who is nothing short of a comic genius, plays the gormless loser so joyously well, and adds to it his incredible sense of physical comedy. His American rival is in turn played expertly by Mr. Azaria, who somehow manages to portray a character that at the same time is absolutely charming, wonderful, and thoroughly unlikeable. The always funny Dylan Moran adds his own interesting personae to the character Gordon, the best friend of Peggs character. Also a guest visit from Little Britains David Walliams, makes for a nice little surprise.

I'm not the biggest fan of director David Schwimmer, but I must admit that he's done a decent job with this one. The score, scenery, production, and all the rest of it is also done quite well.

So in conclusion I'll say, that while "Run Fat Boy Run" is not in any way original or spellbinding, it does provide some solid laughs and is never boring. Definitely recommendable.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun but forgettable, April 11, 2009

By	David F. Nolan (Tucson, AZ United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Run, Fatboy, Run (DVD)

Run Fatboy Run is a lightweight comedy that has a fair number of entertaining moments but there's nothing very original or memorable about it. Dennis, the title character, is portrayed amusingly enough by Simon Pegg (although, oddly, he's not really fat - just a bit pot-bellied). The supporting cast (Thandie Newton, Hank Azaria and Dylan Moran) all put in decent performances as well, but they play stock characters. Entertaining enough for a Friday night with a beer, but not up to Pegg's two previous films.

5.0 out of 5 stars funny, especially if you run yourself, January 4, 2009

By	Enid Alexander "Enid" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Run, Fatboy, Run (DVD)

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.
