No, No, I am not talking about you!

I finally got around to watching this movie today, and I HIGHLY recommend everyone see it!

It's a comedy about a man who decides to run a marathon in order to get his love back.

The story line is a bit predictable, but it's a cute movie, and I really think everyone can relate.

Seriously, go check it out, I think everyone will love it!

    Loved that movie! But I'll watch anything with Simon Pegg in it, he cracks me up!

    Seen it many times!

    And "Run, Fat Boy, run" is said on a daily basis as my overweight cat pelts it down the garden when we whistle them to come in.

    I remember not liking the movie, as much as I love most of the stuff Simon Pegg has been involved with it seems his recent choice of movies has been kind of average/crap. Run Fat Boy Run was one of the first such movies, first of I didn't find it THAT funny and the story was pretty weak & not to mention the lead role simply wasn't written for the likes of Simon Pegg & that he was chosen for name value alone *though he is by far the best thing in this move*. It's a 5/10 movie, it's not bad but it's not memorable either.

    Compared to 'Spaced' 'Shaun Of The Dead' 'Hot Fuzz' and 'Big Train' it's a massive disappointment

    I never been so disappointed of something that had both Simon Pegg & Dylan Moran in the cast (2 of my fav comedians/comic writers ever)

    This is my own opinion of course, as I can see some of you love it :)
