Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.

Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

jameslinton-75252 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

SnoopyStyle Dennis Doyle (Simon Pegg) is a lazy scared loser. He leaves his pregnant fiancée Libby (Thandie Newton) in a case of runaway groom. Five years later, he's a store security guard still trying to get back together with Libby. They have a kid Jake. She has a new successful boyfriend Whit (Hank Azaria). Dennis is still unreliable. Whit tells him that he's doing the Nike River run. Dennis decides to do the run to prove something to Libby. The problem is that he's horribly unfit.This is marginally likable only because of Simon Pegg. The problem is that director David Schwimmer and writers Michael Ian Black and Simon Pegg fail to get anywhere particularly funny. Sure it has Hank Azaria flashing Pegg. But Schwimmer can't quite make it funny. Pegg probably misses Nick Frost as his sidekick. He needs a buddy for a buddy comedy. There are some cute training scenes. The crude American humor is too obvious. Pegg seems to struggle with those. Considering the talent, this should be much better.

kai ringler 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.

Sandcooler Underdog stories usually tend to be a bit formulaic, but this movie mocks the whole underdog cliché by just going completely over the top. Everything about this movie is retardedly implausible, and that's pretty much where all its charm seems to come from. Well, not all its charm, because Simon Pegg definitely deserves some credit as well. He does the same schtick he already did in "Shaun Of The Dead" (even the love subplot is eerily similar), but there's nothing wrong with not changing a winning team. A good underdog movie always has you cheering for the anti-hero, and this one drags out its finale so long that the obligatory corny euphoric moment lasts for roughly twenty minutes. Just picture the decisive homerun from "Major League" or the winning touchdown from "Remember the Titans", this movie's entire third act feels like that. Not the definitive sports comedy, but undoubtebly one of the funniest.
