An inspirational and moving tale

Rating: Null/10 (20 March 2008)

This film is about an unsuccessful man who walked out of his wedding. Five years later, he tries to win back his woman by participating in a marathon.
Instead of being a ridiculous tale of a man doing silly things, "Run Fatboy Run" is an inspirational and moving tale of a man who strives to achieve his goal. Dennis' enormous determination and perseverance shown in the film is deeply touching. Libby and Jake are also very likable characters, providing Dennis a reason to live and fight.
The scenery is remarkable, and every London outdoor scene can be on a postcard! The marathon scenes by the Tower Bridge are quite amazing, as I am sure it took a lot of effort to organise such a massive shooting in the centre of London.
Another reason to enjoy "Run Fatboy Run" is the light hearted delivery of the material. Many funny jokes are thrown in as the backdrop of a moving tale, which successfully entertains without making the film cheesy or less credible. "Run Fatboy Run" is surprisingly entertaining and engaging. It definitely is a runaway success.
