Run, Fat Boy, Run (Movie Review) 27Sep08 | 1
What can I say about this movie that hasn’t already been said by others on Netflix and other user review sites? Probably not a whole lot to be honest.
Simon Pegg (Hot Fuzz & Shaun of the Dead) stars in this along with Thandie Newton (Crash, Beloved, etc.) as a boneheaded but lovable cretin, Dennis, who literally runs from his pregnant fiancĂ© the day of their marriage. There are tons of laughs in this romantic comedy that pits Pegg vs. Hank Azaria, who plays the well to do American who is the adversary to Dennis in his 5 year attempt at salvaging his relationship with his ex-fiancĂ© Libby. The story goes by pretty fast and can kind of get confusing at times since it feels like it’s missing scenes, but overall it David Schwimmer (yes, the dork of Friends fame) did a pretty good job of directing this.
