An average story in a peculiar London

Rating: 5/10 (4 December 2010)

Hmmmmmm. Well firstly, this is definitely a film directed by an American. The sickeningly sugar coated view of life in London could only really be portrayed so naively by someone who wasn't bought up here. The friendly cup cake shop on the corner of the pretty litter-free street is a prime example of this. However, moan over, Run Fatboy Run (which is now mentally set in London mark 2) is a pleasantly entertaining film. There are some cheap laughs- the brilliantly stereotypical character of Mr. Goshdashtidar offers up some amusing one liners. What else is amusing (another moan) is the plot of this film. It takes an intellectual genius to predict this storyline..... If only. The one dimensional characters plod slowly to the films' ending which (believe me) does arrive eventually. Though admittedly,this is a guilty pleasure, but I don't recommend for anyone wanting anything remotely challenging. Not Pegg's finest hour- but it could be worse.
