Run Fatboy Run
I love British films. I love them because they are so very British. Rather than trying to emulate the French or the Germans, we really have carved our own small form of art out. Now, a British film stands out a mile off and that can only be a good thing!
One such very British film that we must here endorse is Run Fatboy Run – the film which definitely helped catapult Simon Pegg into a better position for his movie-making future.
The film, if you’ve not seen it, tells the story of Dennis, a man who…you won’t see running much. In fact, he’s scared of everything. Commitment included, so when he is about to get married to his long-term girlfriend, you can guess what happens.
For the first time in his life he runs as fast as he can in the opposite direction.
What I didn’t know about the film, when I first saw it, was that it was directed by none other than David Schwimmer of Friends fame. That’s right, the loveable dork has grown-up and completed his first film!
Honestly, who’d have thought it, a great British film coming from an American?
Well, if you’re dubious, don’t be. Schwimmer directs the film with a dynamic and simple approach that won’t leave you scratching your head or feeling dizzy. Despite what my friend Tim from Diesel Wakefield says, it is a film that anyone can enjoy. OK, so it has some romantic moments, but don’t let that put you off because this one’s worth watching.
