I can lose weight... but you'll always be an arsehole!

Now, it is completely puzzling why anyone would leave Thandie Newton at the altar, but Dennis (Simon Pegg) did it. Now, five years later, he is a loser and Libby (Newton) has a new man, Whit (Hank Azaria).
As expected, the laughs come in rapid fire as Dennis tries to compete with Whit. He is assisted in his quest by his best friend, Gordon (Dylan Moran), and his landlord, Mr. G (Harish Patel). In fact the only movie that was funnier in 2007 was another Pegg comedy, Hot Fuzz.
Pegg gives his own version of Rocky training for the big match and it is hilarious! David Schwimmer was excellent in his film directorial debut. Somebody needs to give India de Beaufort more movie roles as she was fascinating in her short appearance as Mr. G's daughter.
It was sweet and tender and inspiring, as well as funny.
