Story & Screenplay by: Michael Ian Black
Plot Outline:
A chunky, clueless guy (Simon Pegg) leaves his pregnant fiancée (Thandie Newton) on their wedding day only to discover — 5 years later — that she is his one true love. But in order to win back her heart, he looks to finish his first marathon while making her realize her new man (Hank Azaria) is the wrong guy for her.
Overall Impressions:
I’ve little to say here. It was funny. Pretty generic, to some extent a little bland, but the jokes keep the pace going. Based on the title, I felt there was much scope for a lot more. Simon Pegg isn’t really fat though is he? Fundamental flaw. They should have cast someone big, I mean porky BIG. Truffle shuffling along the entire way. *shrugs*
Watchable comedy, but no big deal if you don’t.
