im so sorry but the guy who’s described as “handsome” and “a gorgeous sugar daddy” is played by the same actor who plays gargamel in the smurfs movie and i just can’t deal with that
have i mentioned that simon pegg is one of the most likable actors to ever live because he's one of the most likable actors to ever live
I'm obligated to rate this movie so highly because my Dad is next to Simon Pegg for, at least, a full 50 frames and thirteen-years later he still hasn't shut up about it.
Or as I'd like to call it:
Three comedy geniuses working really hard at making this bland material work and actually succeeding at it.......
and Thandie Newton....
who is so bad she ruins the whole thing. Her succubus-like awfulness sucks the life out of this film and my star rating.
I know this movie isn't great, but there is just something about it that just amazes me. Maybe it's the charm, or maybe the surprising inspiration you feel. Simon Pegg is as likable as ever. I've always thought that he had a knack for showing believable emotion of all sorts while still being just the right amount of comical. Run Fatboy Run, in my opinion, is simply, fantastic. I can watch it over and over again.
Not everyone's cup of tea but there is a lot to smile about. The relationship between Peggster and Dylan Moran is all good stuff. Their fight is especially comical. Whenever I watch this movie the final scene with Pegg, his son Jake and Mr. Goshdashtidar playing football always leaves me with a warm satisfied feeling. Overall a highly decent watch!
Simon Pegg plays the character of 'Simon Pegg' in this hugely formulaic and dreadfully paced romcom. A decent opening twenty minutes quickly forgotten about by the remaining slog of predictable cliched characters and their decisions while Pegg trotted out the plucky underdog tedium to the point of literal exhaustion.
i’m sorry, ross geller directed this movie? no one thought to tell me that until now?
Usually British comedies fall very short of the mark in recent times. In fact, other than the works of Edgar Wright and co. I can think of very few British comedies that have been any good recently. This film is one of the few exceptions. Run Fatboy Run is filled with gags, heart and brilliant characters.
Directed by David Schwimmer (yes, Ross from Friends) he captures a lot of British essence in this film. Brilliantly led by Pegg the cast all follow suit giving us a great modern day British comedy that is well worth your time. No one character/actor stands out as this film is a complete package of comedy. Its nice to see that comedy can still tell…
