A Not-So-Professional Review

The entire movie lasted 101 minutes, with a rating of PG, with some sexual references (There’s some rude and sexual humor, nudity, language and smoking.). Run, Fatboy, Run is a romantic comedy directed by David Schwimmer, written by Michael Ian Black and Simon Pegg, and starring Pegg, Dylan Moran, Thandie Newton, Harish Patel, India de Beaufort and Hank Azaria.

I watched this comedy at Plaza Singapura last night. It was humorous and moving, even though the plot may sounds simple. I’m not sure about most people but I go to the cinema to feel good; relieve some stress. Everyone of us may be surrounded by problems, and we face them everday. I can accept a bit of escapism. Such as this movie, humorous yet we are talking about real issues - Things we reluctantly to admit we are afraid of, commitment and failure.

In my personal opinion, I will grade the show 7 out of 10. Good scenes. Well written. Nicely directed. Good acting. It’s nevermind If you missed the show as you can buy the original DVD from your local video store.

Synopsis

Five years later, he found out that Libby has been going out with the rich and high-flying Whit (Hank Azaria), a hedge fund manager for a large bank and lives at the prime area in Lodon. Dennis then realises that he still love Libby deeply, and his stupidity for giving her up last time. Therefore, facing a strong love rival, now it is up to him to win her heart back by participating the marathon to prove that he’s not a quitter. To be accepted by Libby again, he has to change. To be a more responsible person, complete on what he has started, and run for Libby’s love.
