i love the movie just by readin the title - Run, Fat Boy, Run

http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809787398/info




A charming but oblivious overweight guy leaves his fiancee on their wedding day only to discover years later that he really loves her. To win her back, he must finish a marathon while making her realize that her new handsome, wealthy fiance is the wrong guy for her.

Watched this and my review,

Only watch this if you're an adult with a child-like mind.
Characters and plot wise, it's like it all came out of a teenage/children's typical fiction or fables. Not creative.
I'm also disappointed on how the ending turned out. It's wayyyyy too predictable and cheesy.

Still somehow I was able to watch the movie from start to end. There's a REALLY hot landlord chick in there =p

Hence, rating 6/10

Final verdict : I didn't laugh as much compared to Hot Fuzz or Shawn of the Dead.

Yeah i prefer his work in both of the movie you mention,run fatboy run was ok.

run fatboy run more like a family movie(not really)

one of my favorite movies so i'll take ur word on this one..

I rather watch "no country for fat boys"

with javier barden as the fat boys assassin. Wearing a fat suit to make him look fat.

his mission: Kill anyone that is not as fat as he is.

watched it on Friday. Not bad, I like it. Storyline pretty generic and weak, but overall, I'm digging the "feel good" theme of it.

I like the whole story.
Very easy and it flows, leaving you with a smile.

XD

First of all, the director is David Schwimmer a.k.a Ross and not Edgar Wright, so don't expect every Simon Pegg movie to be like HF or Shaun.

I wouldn't say it's a brilliant, just decent. I actually like the last 20 minutes of it.

you rented the DVD? i'm still searching for it

The guy isn't that fat. I have seen fatter.

hey this movie showing now

u said "only watch this if you're an adult with a child-like mind",
well i love this movie good ending yes its generic but thats the whole point how to
have a different take on a simple plot line, witty with likeable characters.
Loved the cameo from the little britain guy

if you want something a little bit more high brow i guess "gone baby gone"
tries to tackle the issue of child molestation/ ppl who are unfit to care for the children

i totally disagree with the decision by the main protaganist in the end - makes u just feel sad about the world

IMO, movie quite boring

Now only showing in Malaysia

ya the movie was not bad...always like simon pegg...great actor

the comic genius of simon pegg and hank azaria is wasted in this schnooze fest

i watch the movie just to see Thandie and India De Beaufort. the plot is predictable... jokes are lame...

i cant believe this is a simon pegg movie!

3/10

Shawn of The Dead is the best of Simon Pegg.
