Theatrical report

Ha! Ha! Ha! Run, Fatboy, run is funny. Thank god it was set in Britain and not the USA. That would've so not worked.

Now, the plot is not particularly original (boy meets girl, boy gets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl back from yuppie wanker) but the script makes up for that lack. There are one-liners, situation jokes and the outrageousness that only British comedy can get away with. It's good.

The comedy, romance, UK movie Run, Fatboy, run is directed by David Schwimmer and stars Simon Pegg, Thandie Newton, Hank Azaria.
