A romcom with a difference

Rating: 6/10 (11 December 2016)

As a big Simon Pegg fan, I must admit that this is probably my least favourite film of his. It just doesn't come close to 'Shaun of the Dead' and 'Hot Fuzz', two of my favourite comedies of all time.
It certainly isn't your typical romcom, if you can even call it that. It's more like a comedy with a hint of romance for the sake of a plot. It still has the classic Pegg silliness about it, just not to the level of some of his other films. Perhaps they wanted to appeal to a wider audience.
'Run Fatboy Run' is a funny but underwhelming comedy movie, especially by Pegg's high standards.
