Run Fatboy Run (2007)


Leave it to a little British humor to brighten my day.  I wasn't expecting much from "Run Fatboy Run" based on the title, but I was very pleasantly surprised.  I found the movie to be funny and it made me root for the underdog.  Simon Pegg stars as a "loser" left his pregnant bride-to-be at the altar (Thandie Newton) and tries to get her back.  He's terrific with his son, but then a new boyfriend appears in the mom's life.  This encourages Pegg (a couch potato and smoker) to run a marathon to try to win back the affection of Newton.  My husband and I both enjoyed the film and found it to be a refreshing comedy.  It gets 3 ½ out of 5 stars.
