    I didnt want to go c this but Stardust was full up lol. Anywho, I really enjoyed this. It had some real laugh out loud moments and wasn't as over the top as I thought it would be. The kid in it was great...but int they always. I'd recommend this movie if you like light comedy x

    Run Fatboy Run is definitely not as great as Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz. But this is something I didn't expect from the film. It does have its funny parts, and it does have a good (though typical) story. Its worth the watch but maybe not worth the THEATRE watch.

    A lot of people were disappointed with this film, saying it wasn't as good as Hot Fuzz or Shaun OTD, but I thought it was really sweet with some really funny moments. Dylan Moran, someone who really doesn't do it for me most of the time, was marvellous in this film, as was Simon Pegg

    I went to see this with my boyfriend, it's a perfect choice for a first date. It's a nice charming, funny film and let's face it, we all love Simon Pegg! He is magic! I recommend it to all fans of abit of laughter. =)

    Fairly funny but falls flat in places, and whilst it's entertaining enough, doesn't add anything new to the rom com genre.

    really good, so funny! i would've given it 5 stars but the cheesy ending kind of spoiled it a tiny bit. still a brilliant, laugh out loud film though!

    I felt this film was a little disappointing it was very slow to start with and i felt the storyline was very typical, the leading actor didnt seem to capture the role quiet right either which made me feel it was a difficult film to wath without being slightly bored by it all. However as the film went on it got better and the characters came to life more showing some emotion and passion

    Loved Sean of the dead, liked Hot Fuzz, and this was pretty good too. Bit schmaltzy near the end but the training scenes were very funny. Worth a look.

    Poor Dennis Doyle (from downstairs) who panics big time on his wedding day and does a runner, leaving his pregnant fiance behind. 5 years on and he's down on his luck in a crap job and living a tiny flat. Things go from bad to worse when his ex starts dating Whit aka mr. perfect asshole. What follows is one man's daring attempt to win back his ex and win the respect of his son over the new man in their lives...by running a marathon...and all in the name of erectile dysfunction! Great cast including Dylan Moran who is hilarious, Hank Azaria as Whit, Thandie Newton as libby and of course, Simon Pegg as Dennis. David Schwimmer does a great job of directing.

    a classically brilliant film. on of the best british films ive seen in a lng time. Dylan Moran is a tallented actor that just ozzes talent. he rocks and then there is sim pegg- LEGEND. the rocks and performs an amazing character as the modern day marathn man. Classic, just classic.

    This is actually in the same vein as love actually, notting hill, & so on. This is a great chick flick & even appeals to guys not really into this genre.

    I don't know if you can call this a unique story as it follows the basics of a romantic comedy, but the story, as well as simon pegg, provide enough to keep you entertained. dylan moran adds a very good back up to this too.

    New film from Simon Pegg, and for a change not a genre parody. Still thoroughly entertaining and worth watching. This guy just can't do wrong.

    There were moments you knew there was American money behind this (i.e. predictability at almost every turn) but it has Pegg, and Dylan Moran and just a few killer scenes. Definitely worth a view, but not as good as some of Pegg's other outings.

    Simon Pegg is on top form again in this comedy directed by David Schwimmer. Though without the equally brilliant Nick Frost at his side, some of the jokes fall flat. It is a fun comedy nevertheless and it's good to see Pegg finally getting his chance to show that he is a great actor. Nick Moran is hilarious in a supporting role.

    Funny without being sidesplitting, moving without being saccharine. Simon Pegg puts in a great performance that manages to be funny, incredibly charming, and surprisingly emotional. He and Dylan Moran are a delight to watch together and David Schwimmer finds some really interesting views of London that make the city seem new and fresh, not just the same old London from all the other movies set there.

    Very funny but ultimately formulaic rom com.
    How this film ever got a 12A cert I'll never know. Apparently, "Shit head" and "fucking" are now common place for 12 year olds to hear. Bad for society, good for people like us who like to swear a lot.
    That said...this is a very funny film that plays our like a very rude / crude Hugh Grant rom com.
