Run Fatboy Run – 2007 | 100 mins | Comedy | Colour

Plot Synopsis

Predictable, yet disarmingly enjoyable romantic-comedy starring Simon Pegg as an unfit loser. Former ‘Friends’ actor-turned-director David Schwimmer takes few risks with the formulaic script but rarely lets the pace drop.

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. Now working asa lowly security guard, Dennis discovers Libby’s hooked up with high-flying-go-getter Whit (Hank Azaria), he realizes it’s now or never. Coached by his best mate Gordon (Dylan Moran) and distinctly unathletic Indian landlord, he enters London’s latest marathon to go head-to-head with the super-fit Yank to show he’s no quitter, but then finds out just how much sweat, strain and tears it takes to run for 26 miles.
