Run, Fat Boy, Run

[Big Blow Hard]

After reading some less than impressive reviews, I went into this one expecting the worse. But, surprisingly, I actually left feeling like I had been entertained enough. I got some good laughs. It was ok, probably helped mostly in part by Dylan Moran (Black Books).

Does not measure up th Simon Peggs other efforts, but a bit of fun considering David Schwimmer directed it.

5/10 .

yeah it's not bad but not outstanding. It is good enough entertainment but doesn't get close to Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz

 

[Crows4Flag]

Saw it last night

ok story line and some stupid bits but some classic one liners and good overall movie. loved the bit where the old lady says 'you ****' and the indian mans a crack up. definatley reccomend going. especially if u like english humour

7/10

yep considering the crap that is around these days i found this to be a fantastic movie. Dylan Moran is a p*sser!

8/10

Gordon (Moran): "That was the second most digusting fluid I've ever had in my eye." Loved that line!

 

[SunKing]

David & Margaret gave it a pretty good review. From the bits I saw on ATM it looks quite good.

Simon Pegg is always great value !!!

Btw don't bother reading Leigh Patsch's reviews anymore in the Hun. The man is a deadset flog ..

 

[Mr Eagle]

Saw this for free, so my opinion may be biased a little (thank you Hoyts!)

It's a generic and predictable story but a good script and good performances from the leads raise it to above-average status. Definitely not for those who are looking for another Shaun or Fuzz but a good view nonetheless.

watchable I agree, Not a movie great but a worthy of a good DVD night. My only criticism is that I don't think he is that fat to begin with. Sure a little pudgy around the mid section but it may have been funnier had he been a bit bigger even if make up was used.

Amen to that. Though I tend to read it, and if he says its bad, then I DO want to see it! lol.

If I am not mistaken, last week he gave pretty much everything 1 and 2's except for 1 movie, which he gave 4.

*phew* I saw the title of this thread and thought maybe someone had taken a photo of me almost missing the bus in the morning.

Was a decent movie. It certainly took a while to get going and it was very predictable, but it had it's moments and Dylan Moran was great as usual.

Thats exactly what I thought!!! The guy isnt fat! Out of shape maybe, def not toned maybe, but not fat, lol!!!

My mate saw it (weeks ago, in a preview) and said it was pretty crap. I'll probably skip this one. Liked Shaun of the Dead but.

I almost didn't see this film because of all the bad reviews but I glad that I eventually did. The move was very formulaic and it wouldn't have worked if it wasn't for Simon Pegg who's a brilliant comedy actor. In fact the only difficulty I had with the film was the struggle to believe that Simon Pegg's character ever had a remote chance with Thandie Newton who was good but was way too attractive for her part.

I would put my doodle in the indian bird.

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

I know I'm with the minority in saying this, but I don't care much for Pegg. His dry and predictable British wit can only go so far, and I'm always sick of him after about 10 minutes.

He was great in Big Train, not a good movie actor at all.

 

[Big Blow Hard]

Sean of the Dead and Big Fuzz were anything but predictable. I'd be interested to know what type of films tickle your funnybone then.

 

[Dont be a lemon]

I haven't seen the movie but I saw the clips on At The Movies and I must say it is strange to see the voice actor of Homer Simpson, Hank Azaria, is actually a quite buff individual

I would put my doodle in the indian bird.

Thandie Newton is of Zimbabwean ancestry, not Indian

He's been a tank for as long as I remember. This is a photo from a 2001 series called Uprising

He wasn't talking about Newton. He was reffering too India de Beaufort the "Indian" girl who definately was eye candy

I agree, she was smokin hot. But still not as hot as Thandie Newton.
