Plot Summary: Five years ago Dennis (Simon Pegg) was at the altar about
to marry Libby (Thandie Newton), his pregnant fiancée. He got cold feet and ran
for the hills and he's been going in circles ever since. When Dennis discovers
Libby's hooked up with high-flying-go-getter Whit (Hank Azaria), he realizes
it's now or never. He enters a marathon to show he's more than a quitter but
then finds out just how much sweat, strain and tears it takes to run for 26
miles. Nobody gives him a chance but Dennis knows this is his only hope to more
than a running joke
EN 5 Second Review:
Simon Pegg is always good for a laugh or two, but it
feels like they left a lot on the table here.
Has
its flaws, but it's likable enough that you can't help cheering for it
anyway Bill Goodykoontz: Arizona Republic
It may be the kind of film that will make you smile more
than laugh, but you'll smile a lot...more
Simon
Pegg betrays too much suppleness Gene Seymour: Newsday
Snarkiness and sentiment are in constant battle for
supremacy throughout Run Fat Boy Run with no chance
of a comfortable draw...more
