Simon Pegg is in yet another funny film

Rating: 7/10 (27 April 2009)

I've seen Simon Pegg in his other British comedies, and all of them were funny. This movie is no exception. While not the best comedy I've seen this year, it was certainly in the top 5.
Pegg, plays Dennis, an overweight mall security guard that left his pregnant fiancé at the wedding alter. His finance, Libby, played by the beautiful Thandie Newton, has moved on in the past 5 years and has a new boyfriend, Whit. Now, the main thing you have to get past is that a guy, like Dennis, whom really doesn't have that many options, would leave a hot girl like Thandie Newton. Once you get over this, it makes the film a lot better.
Dennis would still like to get back together with Libby and his son. He decides to compete with Whit and enter a running marathon. Of course, he is in no shape to run, but is determined to try to work out and get better. Will he be able to complete the race before Whit? Some of the funny scenes include, Dennis in little running shorts, Dennis and Whit in the locker room, Gordon below the waist, Dennis chasing the trany at the mall, his jock itch, etc... It made me laugh out loud a lot.
FINAL VERDICT: If you have seen any other of Simon Pegg's films and liked them, I'm sure you will like this too.
