Another Simon Pegg Hit!

Rating: 8/10 (27 February 2008)

Run, Fat Boy, Run (2007, Dir. David Schwimmer)
Dennis is a clueless and slightly overweight guy, who left his pregnant fiancée 5 years earlier. Every day, Dennis tries to persuade the woman he loves to accept him back into his life, but everyday he fails. When he discovers that Libby has found a partner in the form of American Whit, frustration grows, and Dennis vows, that for once in his life, he will finish something. This something ends up being a Nike River-run in London. With his friends Gordon and Mr. Ghoshdashtidar by his side, Dennis begins training for the marathon he must finish.
Any comedy with Simon Pegg in the lead role, is one comedy that has to be seen. Pegg is at his usual best and is a joy to watch. The supporting cast are also tremendous in their roles. One of the highlights of the film is Mr Ghoshdashtidar. The jokes are fun and entertaining and don't dive too deep into filth, used in 'Shaun of the Dead' and 'Hot Fuzz'. David Schwimmer has done a wonderful job at directing this, and anyone who runs marathons will adore this. Even if you don't run marathons, this is a great comedy to see.
