now i be not an ideal audience to review this movie . i do not like simon pegg and i do not find him funny and i have never enjoy one of his film yet so this review might be just a slight tad bias against the film . i will try my best to be objective but it would not be easy . pegg play dennis who jilt his stunningly beautiful bride to be ( play by thandie newton and be he insane . ) on their wedding day . don not you already hate him . no . do i mention she heavily pregnant with his child . do you hate him now . yes . good . now i truly do not understand why they choose this title . at the start of the film he not fat and 5 year later he not fat either . that just a bit of a paunch and and a he a smoker it not a surprise . pegg be an exceptionally pathetic character who be hard to root for . there aren not many laugh in the film ( the little boy give pegg the finger on the night bus be hysterical . ) and the run joke ( because it be never funny ) of pegg lock himself out of his flat isn not even funny the 1st time it happen . the whole training sequence be totally wrong . i have run 2 marathon myself and be a road runner for more than 15 year and you never train by run in the middle of the road . it will get you kill really quickly . also for man who just have a nail jam into his foot he isn not limp when he go to see the nike people . whats even bad be he still train in the same stupid plimsols that give him a gigantic blister in the 2nd training sequence and i also do not see how skipping or run up step be go to help train for run on mostly flat road . the whole drinking raw eggs thing be a total myth too ( and taste disgust . ) . i understand their parody the original rocky training sequence but that only funny if your make a movie where dennis end goal be a boxing match and which it isn not . now as kind a his landlord may think he be and give dennis a brand new pair of run shoe less than 3 week before the race be a really stupid idea . he will have no time at all to break them in and it take at least 2 month to break in new running shoe fully . the chance of them televise a marathon thats only in it 1st year be pretty low to be honest and especially one that only get 10 and 000 runner ( that not a very big field at all ) . also them put a drinks station away from the actual route of the race would never happen . likewise the shot of car behind dennis and most marathon keep the road close for at least 5 hour for slow runner and straggler so that wouldn not just happen either . it stupid that they wouldn not know who dennis be and they can see his race number and it a matter of minute to ask who register under that number . the tv guy say dennis break his ankle and i be sorry but no matter how fit you be and your not go to run even a metre on a broken ankle let alone another 9 mile like dylan moran tell dennis he have leave to go . anyway and the race organiser would have stop him and pull him off the course after a certain amount of time ( especially after the report of his broken ankle ) due to insurance reason . once dennis spot thandie newton and his son past the finish line he suddenly forget his broken ankle ( he doesn not even limp or hobble like he be before and highly unlikely ) . it never say exactly when the next scene take place but dennis be walk ok so i would have to assume it at least 6 or more week later ( thats how long a broken ankle would stay in plaster ) . this be an incredibly weak end and nothing be resolve . have thandie leave hank azaria . have dennis get his flat back . be dennis and thandie get back together . far too many question leave unresolved . a really weak end in a pretty bad film .
