Run Fatboy Run — a film for all, even if you hate running!
Dennis does not want to grow up. Ever. He really doesn’t and he isn’t afraid of that. Thing is…his girlfriend is now about to become his wife. And this presents a problem…
Dennis stays upstairs…it’s moments before he’s set to head off and get married, and he is all a panic. He’s thinking of anything other than getting married, but it isn’t working! Then he feels himself legging it out of the house and away from everyone, and he keeps running until he can’t run anymore.
And he regrets it. That’s really where this film, featuring brit comedy hero Simon pegg, begins. It begins funny and it just gets funnier, and, with a cast featuring Thandie Newton and Dylan Moran, it’s worth your time if you enjoy a damn good laugh.
Whit seems like the complete package. Worse, you can throw anything you like at this man…
Oh, and did I mention his girlfriend was set to become a mother when he left her? No…no I didn’t, because I feel Dennis’s shame!
The story really gets going when Libby (Newton), who is now with Whit (an American who Dennis hates above all else), is proposed to at a party. This sets off a slew of hatred directed at Whit, and when Whit announces he’s going to run the London Marathon, out of shape Dennis does to.
Except he can’t even run to the shops. He’s a million miles away from being anywhere close to fit…
All this and Whit is possibly the most annoying man who has ever lived. With good looks and muscles, not to mention an irritating ability to win everyone over, Whit seems like the complete package. Worse, you can throw anything you like at this man; ask him to tell you what the latin name for Great White Shark is and he’s bound to know it. Ask him to tell you what the best Banner Stands are and he’s bound to have done an internship at a company that sold just that (and he’d probably recommend a top-quality roll-up number, such as available on Ebay!).
The scene for Dennis’s total destruction looks set half way through the film, until a scintillating finale pits the two men against one another for Libby’s affection.
A great film for family as well as adults with a soft-spot, watch Run Fatboy Run whether you love running and are in love or not.
