You hear it all the time that running isn't just a sport; running is a metaphor for life. Perhaps more than any other sport, running causes us to confront our weaknesses, overcome boundaries, and, when we cross that finish line - regardless of what the time is - we have bettered ourselves because of those challenges that running forces us to overcome.
That metaphor is exactly what Run, Fat Boy, Run is all about, and it's well executed by director (and former Friends star) David Schwimmer. I also liked Simon Pegg's performance, which was different from his usual satirical-type of role. And finally, I liked the prominence of running in the film, which is probably the real reason why I think it was better than the average romantic comedy.
