Amiable, consistently amusing and surprisingly affecting, it has the flavor of a Nick Hornby novel, with its focus on an overgrown boy struggling to grow up and be a man.

This feeble premise limits the movie to perfunctory gags about the hero's sloth and some canned underdog drama.

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

Sure it's predictable. Sure it's a slight effort, but I still think it's pretty funny and charming.

Far from the gut-busting brilliance of Pegg's other, self-made starring vehicles.

Run, Fat Boy, Run is the directorial debut of actor David Schwimmer, who is much better behind the camera than in front of it. Here, he's taken material best suited to sketch comedy and turned it into a feature of no small heart and humour.

The film, like its flabby aspiring marathon runner protagonist, feels shapeless and exhausted from the sheer effort of trying to please audiences.

The picture manages to juggle both the silly and the sentimental without falling flat.

Satisfyingly entertaining.

Schwimmer's sliced cheese mediocrity gets him off the hook; not so for the usually inventive Pegg and Black and their arms race of bland jokes and cheap male nudity
