I like Simon Pegg. Shaun of the Dead is a great movie and I also liked Hot Fuzz . But I did not like Run Fat Boy Fun. It was trite and cliche, which would have been great if it had been a brilliant parody of cliches. But in any satire, you have to be careful you don't become what you're skewering, and in this case it just didn't work.Dennis ditches his pregnant girlfriend at the alter and five years later is having a change of heart. However his ex is already dating a man who is the opposite of Dennis, which is rich, successful, and in great shape.
When his ex gets engaged, Dennis decides to compete in the marathon her fiance is running so that he can win her back. Yup, cliche ending on the horizon and closing fast.
