Product Description

Run, Fat Boy, Run (BD/WS)

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. When Dennis discovers Libby's hooked up with high-flying-go-getter Whit (Hank Azaria), he realizes it's now or never. He enters a marathon to show he's more than a quitter, but then finds out just how much sweat, strain and tears it takes to run for 26 miles. Nobody gives him a chance, but Dennis knows this is his only hope to be more than a running joke.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Underdog Story
    Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    I had no clue who Simon Pegg was until I found this movie and have been a fan of his ever since. I actually got the movie because I am a Thandie Newton fan and had never seen her in a comedy. Mind you, her role is not comedic at all, but this story is so cute and all of the characters do a great job. I also discovered Dylan Moran (I hope I got the name right - he's Thandie's cousin in the movie). SO FUNNY!

    The movie is about Pegg who stood up his girlfriend (Newton) at their wedding while she was pregnant with his baby. The story then fast forwards to 5 or 6 years later when they've moved on and made their arrangements to co-parent, etc... Newton has a "perfect in every way" boyfriend (played by Hank Azaria) who is getting serious with her, and Pegg wants to win her back by running in the London Marathon (because the boyfriend runs marathons). The story is funny, clean and has a great ending. It lags just a tad in the middle for me (because I am not a fan of sports at ALL (except basketball) and the whole running thing was a bit taxing), but not so much that I would turn it off. I thoroughly enjoyed the film.

    To me, this movie is so underated. It did not win any awards, which was the right thing, But, this movie was awesome! It really captures the hearts of those who have given up opportunites because they thought they were not good enough instead of taking a chance.
    Simon Pegg plays the main character. He is so believable as the "idiot". Thandie Newton play the girl he left at the alter 5 years before. Although she has feelings for him, she does movie on. She starts dating Hank Azira, who is everything she wished Simon would be. He even runs marathons for charity. On a whim, Simon says he will do it also to get back the respect of the woman he loves. My only question, the weeks to train for a full marathon? That is just crazy!

    5.0 out of 5 stars One of Simon Pegg's Better Flicks
    Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2010

    This movie is a little more serious than some of Simon Pegg's other outings, but it still has a wide mix of comedy styles, from fart jokes up to dry wit. It's definitely worth seeing. It's alot better than Hot Fuzz, which I felt had too outlandish a story to be enduring. On the other hand I loved Shaun of the Dead and what is more outlandish than zombies? One interesting thing about this movie is the title illustrates the different world views of what "fat" is. Simon Pegg IS fat. Some Americans would think he's not fat at all, but that's cause we're used to thinking "fat" when we see obese, hyper obese or even morbidly hyper obese people. In other words, we're the fattest nation on Earth cause of our polluted food system. Go Organic!!!!

    I chose to buy this DVD for my husband for Christmas, as my husband and I are fans of Simon Pegg's other videos (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz). This follows in the same vein as those, for being ridiculously funny and almost absurd in its way of going about things. It's a little more in-depth and emotional than the other two movies, though, so don't expect plain old college dorm antics, like finding shelter in a pub or making a move straight out of "Desperado" to beat the bad guys - this one also has a heart and is aware of the family situation and romance, and could almost be considered a romantic comedy.
    Great movie, a little different than I expected, but funny and an awesome film!

    Adoro questo film, uno tra i miei preferiti con il mitico Simon Pegg. La storia parte da un espediente apparentemente da rom-com ma si sviluppa attraverso situazioni divertenti e al limite del ridicolo senza mai scadere nel banale. Tante risate e tanti sorrisi, ottimo cast.

    Simon Pegg incarne le pauvre Dennis, qui a fuit toute son existence la moindre responsabilité; Sur le point de devenir père, il quitte subitement la mariée enceinte, et court vers une liberté retrouvée...En fait, j'ai eu au début l'impression que je revivais un peu le film français "l'ex-femme de ma vie", mais si les ingrédients sont similaires, (la personne qui s'incruste est issu de milieu modeste, voire à la rue, elle est maladroite et décalée,et retrouve face à elle une société de prétentieux présomptueux...), mais ici l'utilisation en est fondamentalement différente: ce petit film dit "prends toi en main, et si le défi se présente, tu peux le relever! tu verras, ça te rapportera gros". Beaucoup d'humour british, beaucoup d'optimisme dans cette petite histoire qui réserve quelques bons moments cocasses de rigolades. Le petit peuple du nord de Londres va se mesurer à la City, le temps de cett histoire, et cela est compté avec beaucoup de panache et de sincérité.

    Reviewed in Germany on October 11, 2008

    **Hintern hoch, Simon Pegg!**

    Simon Pegg ist auf dem besten Weg den Rest der Welt zu erobern. Wieder spielt er einen typischen faulen und depressiven Typen namens Dennis. Gerne mimt er diese Art von Mann, was ihm auch immer exzellent gelingt, nicht nur wegen seiner einzigartigen Mimik.

    Obwohl Dennis die Hochzeit mit seiner damaligen und hochschwangeren Freundin Libby (Thandie Newton) platzen lassen hat, trauert der heutige Ladendetektiv eines Unterwäschegeschäfts noch 5 Jahre später seiner Frau nach - was auch daran liegt, dass er weiterhin regelmäßig Kontakt mit dem gemeinsamen Sohn Jake (Matthew Fenton) hat.

    Als Libby ihren neuen Freund Whit (Hank Azaria) kennenlernt und dieser sie auch bald zur Frau machen will, schlägt bei Dennis Alarm. Als der gut aussehende und sportliche Whit von einem 42-kilometerlangem London-Marathon erzählt, bei dem er natürlich mitmacht, will Dennis zeigen, dass auch er genug Testosteron hat, ein richtiger Mann zu sein, besser gesagt ein besserer Vater für seinen Sohn und ein besserer Mann für seine Libby, der schwierige Lebensaufgaben auch zu Ende bringen kann - und fängt an für den Marathon zu trainieren. Nur blöd, dass Dennis mittlerweile ein paar Kilos zu viel auf den Rippen hat und seine Kondition im Keller ist.

    Typisch tollpatschig ist der Weg dorthin, zusammen mit seinem Vermieter, der ihm Sportschuhe schenkt, und seinem besten Freund Gordon (Dylan Moran). Anfangs noch motiviert fängt Dennis an zu Laufen, was in seinem viel zu engen Höschen zum Schreien aussieht. Er fängt sich wegen der Hose, die eigentlich eine Badehose war, nicht nur etwas in seiner "Hodengegend" ein, auch eine extreme Blase unter dem Fuß wird von seinem besten Freund aufgestochen. Während des Trainings steht ihm auch weiterhin sein Vermieter, der sich selbst zum Trainingsassistent ernennt, zur Seite, der ihm beim Joggen mit einem Roller hinterherfährt und seinen Hintern mit einem Pfannenwender versohlt, egal wie sehr Dennis die Zunge auf dem Boden schleift.

    **Technisches**

    Deutscher Titel: Run, Fatboy, Run
    Originaltitel: Run, Fat Boy, Run
    Produktionsland: USA, GB
    Erscheinungsjahr: 2007
    Länge: ca. 100 min
    Originalsprache: Englisch
    Altersfreigabe: FSK 6
    Regie: David Schwimmer
    Drehbuch: Michael Ian Black

    Die Features sind okay. Audiokommentare, nicht verwendete Szenen, Outtakes und der US-Trailer sind neben einem kleinen Filmchen, in dem Simon Pegg vor einem Interview veräppelt wird, auf der DVD. Die Outtakes sind leider bei weitem nicht so witzig wie die von "Shaun Of The Dead" oder "Hot Fuzz", da sie mit normalen Filmszenen vermischt sind und eigentlich nur wenige verpatzte Szenen zu sehen sind. Man sollte sie aber zumindest einmal gesehen haben. Ich persönlich bin eine große Outtakes-Liebhaberin.

    **Fazit**

    "Run, Fatboy, Run" ist ein herrlicher Film mit Herz, der schon etwas auf der kommerziellen Schiene fährt. Auch die Art von Geschichte ist nicht einzigartig. Während gewohnte Slapstickwitze und schwarzer Humor nicht wirklich vorhanden sind, spielt Simon Pegg trotzdem wieder genial, obwohl der Film eher Richtung Familienunterhaltung geht. Für diesen Film hat "Friends"-Star David Schwimmer im Regiestuhl Platz genommen statt wie gewohnt Edgar Wright. Mit Simon Pegg ist es aber auch nicht sonderlich schwer geniale Lacher hinzukriegen. Gerne spult man zurück und sieht sich eine Szene noch einmal an. Sei es das zu enge Badehöschen zum Joggen, das Kratzen und Rubbeln an einer Schaufensterpuppe, ein elegantes Fluchtmanöver in ein Gebüsch oder der Sturz von einer Treppe. Ausserdem hat auch "Little Britain"-Star David Walliams eine kleine Gastrolle - Englandfans aufgepasst.

    Jetzt, wo Pegg nach und nach diverse Filme ohne bekannte Kollegen dreht, hat man manchmal schon das Gefühl, dass er sich irgendwann komplett von seinen alten Schauspielkollegen abkapselt. Ich wünsche mir sehr, dass er auch trotzdem in Zukunft viele Filme haben wird, die viele Gastrollen oder alte Bekannte beinhalten.

    Für Simon Pegg-Fans ein Muss!
