Best movie of this year hands down!

I love this movie so much

One of my all time favorites.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

If the man didn't finish the run, the woman didn't go back to him and the successful businessman didn't go evil all of a sudden at the end, I probably will give this film a 7. Unfortunately it turns out a stupid and naive story eventually. Guess the director believes the fantasy in Friends too much.

This is another light-hearted romantic-comedy with a very serious undertone. It depicts the dedication that a father and husband can demonstrate to his family. After Dennis Doyle (Simon Pegg) jilts his pregnant fiancée Libby (Thandie Newton) he is heartbroken to learn that five years on, she is marrying the high-flying, marathon runner Whit (Hank Azaria.) Determined to prove himself in the eyes of Libby, Doyle resolves to run the London Marathon and to beat Whit in the process. Pegg and Azaria were great in their respective roles. It isn't immediately obvious that Azaria's character is the antagonist, but he progressively transforms into one. His transformation is subtle yet powerful.Read my full review here: http://goo.gl/n5vi8s

Simon Pegg plays Dennis an overweight man who left his bride to be standing at the alter along with a baby, guess he got cold feet or something he couldn't go thru with it,, now later on, she met a different guy who has taken interest in her and the child,, so Dennis decides he has to find a way to win her back,, he finds out that the man has entered a Marathon, and figures that if he can show his long lost bride to be that he can finish something he starts instead of quitting on it, then he could possibly win her love back,, so he trains with a couple of friends for the big marathon,, then comes race day and all bets are off because pretty much you figure winner of the race will get to keep the girl,, not a bad movie,, kinda middle of the road average comedy.

Simon Pegg ditches his pregnant fiancée(Thandie Newton) on their wedding day and runs away. 5 years pass. Now he is working as a security guard. Newton starts seeing Azaria, a successful businessman who is also good looking.She has Pegg's son, Jed. Azaria is obsessed with running and is about to participate in the London river marathon. Peggwants to win back the respect of Newton. He decides to run. The movie moves at a fairly good pace and the script is laced with very funny punch lines by Pegg who is excellent as the cigarette smoking, lazy guy who tries for an overhaul. Newton looks stunning but as usual cannot act even if her life depended on it. There are lots of quirky characters who help Pegg. The one notable mention is our own Harish Patel who plays Pegg's Indian landlord with an unpronounceable name. This ends up being uplifting aside from being hilarious. 3.5 out of 5.
