Funny romantic comedy.
After Hot Fuzz (Smart police officer man :-)), Simon Pegg comes back as a Security Guard at a Women’s clothing store with a lot of fun. The title is Run, Fat, Boy but actually he’s not that fat. I guess the Fat includes laziness and a clueless. There’s a bit of moving moment as well as funny situation. Simon Pegg is always at his best and his movie is a joy to watch.
Nice performance.
From Shaun of the Dead to Hot Fuzz to Run, Fat, Boy, Pegg’s performance has always his best and it’s fun as well. In this movie, you will laugh a lot from his best romantic comedy acting. Thandie Newton’s also a fine actress in this movie and previously (Crash and The Pursuit of Happiness) as well. Hank Azaria is also suitable in his role.
However, the story is predictable and the concept can be seen in a lot of other romantic movies.
The story is quite simple and predictable. There’s no any turning up story. The story will be something like what you are thinking of. The story concept also seems some part is from some movie and another part is from another movie. It doesn’t mean this movie is duplicated from other movies, but you might feel no fresh about the concept.
On the other hand, this movie does tell you something about the life.
I remember their conversation between Dennis (Pegg) and his son, Jake. Dennis says “As you get older, you’re gonna realize there are a lot of things that you don’t like. Things much worse than this. And when those things happen, you can’t just run away.” and Jake asks “why not?” and he says “Because it doesn’t solve the problem. The problem’s still there. You’ve got to stick at it, and then figure out a way to solve the problem, even if it’s really really hard.” and Jake asks “Is that what you do, Dad?” Hm… Is it what I do…??
You can enjoy your 1 hour and 30 min with this movie.
Even if the story is predictable, this movie still gives you a lot of fun and good sentences. After this movie, I can recall my Math teacher, when I was in Hign, told us “Laziness is the biggest enemy of mankind.” Let’s run every one!

Rollover to rate this movie
When it comes to bad movies, Paris Hilton is just an amateur, writes Joe Queenan.
THE release in the United States of Paris Hilton's The Hottie And The Nottie has revived the debate over the worst movie ever made. Because the film logged some of the worst receipts in history - $US250 ($273) per screen on opening weekend - there is a temptation to accord it the mythical status of such universally ridiculed films as Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes or Plan 9 From Outer Space, to welcome it into the dark, Bizarro World pantheon inhabited by phantasmagoric disasters such as Showgirls, Ishtar, Heaven's Gate, Battlefield Earth, The Postman and, most recently, Gigli and Swept Away.
So you always wanted to go to an opera but didn't think you could afford it? Here's an opportunity you may want to consider. Especially since it's as easy as going to a movie.
This weekend, San Francisco Opera will launch the first of six digital cinema presentations with a production of Puccini's rarely-heard "La Rondine" ("The Swallow"), starring superstar soprano Angela Gheorghiu. Like New York's Metropolitan Opera and Italy's La Scala, the San Francisco company sees screenings as a way to expand its audience.
