Run Fatboy Run Reviews
Seattle Times
Mark Rahner
Tere's nothing edgy or new about Run, Fat Boy, Run.
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
This is a romantic comedy light on romance but heavy on comedy, and it's well cast to skew in that direction.
Chicago Sun-Times
Teresa Budasi
One thing Schwimmer does do right is keep the story moving swiftly. You're in, you're out, no harm done -- unless you want that hour and a half back.
I.E. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
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
USA Today
Claudia Puig
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.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Thanks to a jaunty Brit-rock score and likable characters all around, the movie's easy to watch and occasionally pumps up the emotions.
Detroit News
Tom Long
There's a cheeky, cross-continental exuberance to Run, Fatboy, Run that lifts it over its predictability and keeps you laughing louder than you know you should. It's an upfront guilty pleasure without pretense; what a pleasant surprise.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
This is not a film with blazingly original ideas or a groundbreaking script - I guessed the ending before the movie even started - but it has a sweet nature, an abundance of laughs and plenty of Pegg to spare.
New York Times
Matt Zoller Seitz
The kind of movie that's apt to be dismissed a goofy lark. It is that. But it's also a rare comedy that believes in its own message, and that could inspire the depressed and the demoralized to grit their teeth and keep running.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
There's much too much of everything in Run, Fatboy, Run. Every ounce of comedy is so forced and full-on ridiculous that when characters express even a smidgen of sentiment, it feels like a parody.
MSNBC
Alonso Duralde
Run, Fatboy, Run winds up being as immature and exhausting as its protagonist.
Paste Magazine
Alissa Wilkinson
Satisfyingly entertaining.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
This feeble premise limits the movie to perfunctory gags about the hero's sloth and some canned underdog drama.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
Sure it's predictable. Sure it's a slight effort, but I still think it's pretty funny and charming.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Run, Fatboy, Run isn't going to win any prizes for fresh questions. But it's just fleet enough to hold its own in the middle of the pack.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
Run Fat Boy Run might as well have been written by a rushed piece of software. The program calls for a surprise engagement, a street fight complete with crotch punches, an apartment eviction, and a runaway child -- all in about five minutes.
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
Deserves credit for not working us over the way so many modern comedies too. It brings us to the finish line with energy to spare, instead of leaving us feeling sapped.
The Deadbolt
Brian Tallerico
A near-miss, a film with some funny scenes that will probably work significantly better on DVD, but, ultimately, it quite simply doesn't have enough laughs to elevate it to greatness.
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
An overlong over-conventional under-funny romantic comedy. To put it in its own terms, it might make it as a 100-yard-dash, but does not have the stamina for a marathon.
