Run, Fatboy, Run (2008) Review

Run, Fatboy, Run (2008)
Average Reviews:

I too think, that the title "Run Fat Boy Run" is quite amusing and very apropriate for the film. Let me, in response to another reviewers question "who would pay money to see a fat boy run?" ask: who wouldn't?
The story is neither original nor complicated. At their wedding, Simon Pegg's character gets cold feet and takes off without explanation, leaving his pregnant girlfriend behind. 5 years down the line he, now a fat, pathtic looser without the mone to pay the rent, realises that he actually left the love of his life behind that day. She has found a rich, handsome, athletic American played very well by Hank Azaria, and has no need for her former fiance. So to win her back, Pegg must compete against his American competitor in a marathon race. Chaos and hilarity ensues.
Simon Pegg, who is nothing short of a comic genius, plays the gormless loser so joyously well, and adds to it his incredible sense of physical comedy. His American rival is in turn played expertly by Mr. Azaria, who somehow manages to portray a character that at the same time is absolutely charming, wonderful, and thoroughly unlikeable. The always funny Dylan Moran adds his own interesting personae to the character Gordon, the best friend of Peggs character. Also a guest visit from Little Britains David Walliams, makes for a nice little surprise.
I'm not the biggest fan of director David Schwimmer, but I must admit that he's done a decent job with this one. The score, scenery, production, and all the rest of it is also done quite well.
So in conclusion I'll say, that while "Run Fat Boy Run" is not in any way original or spellbinding, it does provide some solid laughs and is never boring. Definitely recommendable.

Friends- The Complete Second Season is packed full of extra features, like an interactive tour of Rachel and Monica's gorgeous apartment (now Monica and Chandler's place), a trivia challenge game to find out how much you know about Friends and much more!
Personally, I consider this to be Friends' best season for two reasons. The first one being the great episodes showcasing the beginning of Ross and Rachel's relationship ("The One Where Ross Finds Out," "The One With the List," "The One With the Prom Video" and "The One Where Ross and Rachel...You Know") and secondly, the hilarious Chandler and Joey moments during the time when Joey's moving out ("The One Where Joey Moves Out," "The One Where Eddie Moves In" and "The One Where Dr. Ramoray Dies"). This is a must have for any Friends fan!
Just so you know what episodes you'll be getting in this collection, here's a complete list:
1. "The One With Ross' New Girlfriend"- Rachel is mad when Ross brings home his new girlfriend, Julie. Phoebe chops off Monica's hair.
2. "The One With the Breast Milk"- When Rachel discovers that Monica has been spending a lot of time with Julie, she's jealous. Ross is shocked when Phoebe tastes Carol's breast milk before she gives it to baby Ben.

8. "The One With the List"- Ross makes a pros and cons list about Rachel and Julie, hoping it will help him decide which girl to be with. Wouldn't you know Rachel finds the list?
9. "The One With Phoebe's Dad"- Phoebe learns that all of the stuff she's been told about her father isn't true, so she asks Chandler and Joey to help her find him.
10. "The One With Russ"- Rachel's the only one that doesn't realize her boyfriend, Russ (David Schwimmer under a wig and makeup), looks just like Ross.
11. "The One With the Lesbian Wedding"- Ross' ex-wife, Carol and her partner, Susan decide to get married. Phoebe thinks she's possessed by an 82-year-old lady who died on her massage table.
12. "The One After the Super Bowl" Joey dates a crazed fan of his who thinks he's really Dr. Drake Ramoray, the character he plays on Days of Our Lives. The gang visits Marcel on the set of his movie.
