Run Fatboy Run

Point I Fell Asleep: 1:17 out of 1:40 (77%)
Location: Home
Time I Started Movie: Primetime
IMDB: http://imdb.com/title/tt0425413/

Wow, just when I thought I was on a roll with 5 straight movies without sleeping. I made it so far too.... Not that this movie was bad, but it did get slow on me. First of all, I'm not a big British comedy fan. I tried watching "Snatch" but got annoyed with it after 30 minutes and turned it off, and I never got around to watching "The Full Monty." I actually can't remember the last time I watched a British comedy. Does a Jude Law or a Hugh Grant movie count? How about "Notting Hill?" So this movie was about a guy who tries to win back his girl by running a marathon although he's a little fat. The biggest shock came when the credits were rolling and I saw that David Schwimmer directed it and Michael Ian Black wrote the story. No wonder there were so many American actors in this "British" movie. Decent watchable movie nevertheless. You could do a lot worse at Blockbuster.
