Schwimmer and Pegg keep on running

Rating: 6/10 (29 May 2011)

Run Fatboy run doesn't really set out to be anything more than a simple silly comedy that has a bit of heart running through it and thankfully it achieves this aim due to some likable performances from Simon Pegg and Thandie Newton.
With David Schwimmer at the camera the pace moves from one comedic set piece to another with all the skill that Schwimmer acquired during his 10 years working on Friends. He knows when to go for the joke and when to sit back and let the relationships of the characters develop.
No it's not going to be a film that will be looked back on in 50 years as a masterpiece but it is a simple piece of entertainment that can be enjoyed by everyone and in this day and age of silly 3D and outrageous sequels and prequels quality entertainment is very much needed.
