Mediocre disappointment, watch if it happens to be on TV

Rating: 5/10 (25 May 2008)

Fun enough to watch but I have real respect for Simon Pegg's talent and this is a kind of 'nothing' film with no suggestion of the talent of any of his other films or TV projects. The plot is so lacking I wonder if they originally meant it as a shorter TV sketch.
It's only the odd Pegg peculiarities that keep you watching a very humdrum film.
The plot (can you call it a plot?)is clichéd in the extreme and of course features an evil American. Why on earth is it called Run Fatboy... when Pegg clearly isn't fat? In fact they struggle to make him look unable to run.
OK and worth a free view is about the best I can say!
