Run Fatboy Run

Run Fatboy Run (2007) starring Simon Pegg, Thandie Newton, Hank Azaria. After leaving his pregnant fiancee, Libby (Newton) at the altar, Dennis (Pegg) decides he's made a mistake. Five years later, he is still trying to win her back. When her new boyfriend, Whit (Azaria) turns out to be a fitness nut, Dennis pledges to run the London Marathon to win Libby over. Only trouble is, Dennis is in terrible shape and has only three weeks to prepare. Naturally, the movie builds up to the day of the race, and the big question is, will Dennis run and finish the race? Frankly, I didn't much care. The chemistry between Pegg and Newton didn't work for me, and the limp jokes in this movie fell flat. The only thing good I can think of to say about it is that it has good subtitles and captions. Grade: C
