I am a fan of Simon Pegg. Shaun of the Dead, and Hot Fuzz are perhaps two of the funniest movies I have seen which I can watch over and over again. So I had to see this movie, and I... Full review

This film felt a bit rushed and not as funny as some of Simon's previous films. The Bonus Materials on this were okay, nothing spectacular, other than Thandie's Goof, which is a look at the trouble she had to hit her marks on this film, but with Simon, Hank and David around who could blame her. ...

Run Fatboy Run, which Schwimmer shot in Britain with Simon Pegg, is a modest flash of genius. In this case, she is the gorgeous and talented Thandie Newton. Pegg has the skill to be ridiculous and still make us root for him in any situation ... Full Review

Although I did enjoy the incongruity of the characters, this well-intentioned low brow co-production does not quite make it to the finish line. Finishing what you set out to do is what the film is about and David Schwimmer, who... ... Full Article
