Leave your thoughts about Run Fatboy Run.
| AV ClubNathan RabinFatboy nearly succeeds in spite of itself, thanks to Pegg, who makes a character who does some detestable things seem strangely likeable. |
| Kaplan vs. KaplanJeanne KaplanSimon Pegg has a great face! Not since Jerry Lewis has anyone been able to look pathetic, adorable and stupid, all at the same time. |
| WaffleMovies.comWillie WaffleSimon Pegg is almost brilliant with his slapstick comedy and dedication to goofiness. |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseThis brand of unfailing comic timing and expressive physicality is rare, and it's why Pegg, in particular, is a star. [Blu-ray] |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderCould a better combination of collaborators have produced something greater? Definitely. But this cheerful mix of juvenility and grown-up-relationship angst goes down smoothly enough to be worth watching. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekDepends on the charm of its leading man. But that proves a commodity which, in Pegg's case, proves to be not only in short supply but positively out of stock. |
| NewsBlazeKam WilliamsWell enough crafted to keep you in stitches while on the edge of your seat for the duration, even if this laff-a-minute escape is more mindless than cerebral. |
| Boxoffice MagazineChad GreeneIt's as if [director David] Schwimmer managed to shoot himself in his foot with the starter's pistol. |
| The Cinema SourceMichael Dance[The protagonist is] a petty, unlikable loser. |
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesThis feeble premise limits the movie to perfunctory gags about the hero's sloth and some canned underdog drama. |
