Run, Fat Boy, Run (2007)
Five years ago Dennis was at the altar about to marry Libby, his pregnant fiance. He got cold feet and run for the hills and he’s been going in circles ever since. When Dennis discovers Libby’s hooked up with high-flying-go-getter Whit, he realises it’s now or never. He enters a marathon to show he’s more than a quitter, but then finds out just how much sweat, strain and tears it takes to change. Nobody gives him a chance but Dennis knows this is his only hope to be more than a running joke.

Run, fat boy, run
Simon Pegg's titular character is hardly obese, merely a little portly around the midriff. With superb one liners holds this little predictable but amusing film together. Five years on from a wedding-day panic that saw him leaving pregnant Thandie Newton at the altar, he’s now working as a lowly security guard. The arrival of smoth financier Hank Azaria in her life gives him cause to get fit and win her back, by taking on a challenge of running head-to-head with Hank in London’s latest marathon. It does seem an unlikely route to redemption, given that the Hank is a marathon regular. Asian landlord Harish Patel filling in the gaps, and bonding opportunities with his son i suppose intended as emotional undertow. As I say quite predictable but an amusing and good all rounder well worth a watch
