Run Fatboy Run

Simon Pegg and company do a passable job of bringing this story to screen. Hank Azaria is the token yank and as such is pretty much as unlikeable as possible. In fact few characters here, if any, are a pleasure to watch.

Another sad thing is that script and this cast should have been capable of many more laughs. It seemed sad to me that the first good belly laugh came 35 minutes into the film. After that, there were a few, but up to that point not many. Director David Schwimmer should have taken the horse by reigns and make this movie less predictable and more funny.

Maybe my expectations were too high for this one? I was thinking up in the stratosphere nearer "Sean of the Dead" not down in the stale basement with the likes of "Nacho Libre".

If you must, watch this movie with someone who does not run for pleasure.
