I'm a big Simon Pegg fan, I have been since Spaced, and Hot Fuzz is one of the best films ever made, so I can't hide the fact that my extreme admiration//love for the guy is what attracted me to Run Fatboy Run. That said, it's a cute movie. It's not a Simon Pegg/Edgar Wright film, but Pegg did do some script re-writes and that's an obvious plus, since Pegg has a very specific sense of humor. The supporting roles are all pretty good, his best friend Gordon (played by Dylan Moran) is a highlight as well. There were some lame jokes, as there were some stellar/subtle ones, but overall it's what I'd classify as a "cute film" - had the role been played by anyone else though, I would not have made a point of seeing it. If you're a Simon Pegg fan, it'll sustain you some. If you're not, it's good for a few laughs.
