Run Fat Boy Run Reviews
It comes as no surprise that the film is simply terrible.
| Original Score: 3/10 | Nov 28, 2020
A predictably puerile plod along a road we've all been down before. Runs out of puff well before the big race.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Nov 17, 2020
Meticulous, detailed, cohesive, comedic, charming, embraceable and entertaining. David Schwimmer has done Mom proud with this one.

An enjoyable, even heartwarming little movie that embraces its clichés and never lets them get in the way
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 6, 2019
Much of the comedy left me cold.

The film jogs along uncertain whether it is aiming to be an episode of Friends or a Farrelly brothers farce. Overrun with fart jokes, it is fitfully funny and hamstrung by a sentimental and implausible plot.

Disappointingly, Run, Fat Boy, Run is an unsatisfying hybrid not funny enough to be a true comedy, and not serious enough for a drama.
| Original Score: C | Aug 17, 2017
Satisfyingly entertaining.

About as funny as Ross on "Friends." David Schwimmer (Ross on "Friends") directs.

Nothing to be embarrassed about here. Though the kick-in-the-balls scene does run on a bit.

Far from the gut-busting brilliance of Pegg's other, self-made starring vehicles.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 29, 2009
This feeble premise limits the movie to perfunctory gags about the hero's sloth and some canned underdog drama.

The film, like its flabby aspiring marathon runner protagonist, feels shapeless and exhausted from the sheer effort of trying to please audiences.
| Sep 24, 2008
The picture manages to juggle both the silly and the sentimental without falling flat.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 23, 2008
...cuter and sweeter than I expected, a mildly pleasant surprise.
| Original Score: 6/10 | Sep 21, 2008
Schwimmer completely lacks what it takes to ever get this movie off the ground. The story is fairly formula and the actors are basically on mark, yet the jokes (most of which are so predictable they are telegraphed a mile in advance) land with a virtually
| Original Score: 5/10 | Sep 8, 2008
It's a Generation X movie in a way very few movies are any more; it is unseemly to admit that our generation is about as slackery as we had promised to become. Go with your ex and smile.
