Run Fatboy Run by the DVD Man

Run Fatboy Run is a surprisingly nice, fun romantic comedy starring Simon Pegg and Thandie Newton.

It's not a huge laugh out loud comedy like some of Simon Pegg's movies (Hot Fuzz), but I really enjoyed it.

Simon runs out out Thandie (what is he, stupid? - well yes) on the day of their wedding, when she's pregnant, then it jumps forward to 5 years later.

Thandie's new boyfriend, played by Hank Azaria, is a big shot and brags about his upcoming marathon run and Simon thinks that if he can also run the marathon, he might win back Thandie.

I really like all the supporting characters - the landlord and his sexy daughter, Simon's best friend and the people he bets all his money (which he doesn't have) on Simon finishing the race.

It has a happy ending. Yay!
