Run Fatboy Run (2007)

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: David Schwimmer
Cast: Simon Pegg, Thandee Newton, Hank Azaria 
Running Time: 100 minutes


 

Dennis Doyle was about to marry his pregnant girlfriend Libby but he got cold feet and left her at the altar. Five years later, his life is going nowhere and he regrets leaving Libby. To impress her and win her back, he decides to run the Nike River Marathon, in London. Unfortunately for him, right at his side is Libby’s new boyfriend, Whit, a successful and good looking, albeit arrogant, man.

This is a fun movie. Sure, there is a lot of silliness, but the fact that this movie does not take itself too seriously is charming. Sure, it is pretty predictable, but I appreciated the fact that they did not go for the totally obvious overly unrealistic Hollywood ending.

Overall, I really enjoyed this one.
