“Run Fatboy Run” is a cute, quirky comedy starring Simon Pegg of “Shaun of the Dead” and “Hot Fuzz.” Pegg plays Dennis Doyle, and the film opens on his ill-fated wedding day. In a panic, Dennis runs away from Libby, his pregnant bride-to-be, leaving her alone at the altar. Several years later, Dennis discovers that a well-off, successful, handsome marathon runner is courting Libby and competing for the affections of his young son. He decides to run a marathon, in the hopes that his efforts will impress Libby, whom he still loves.
What starts out as an effort to win his family back becomes something more, as Dennis takes a long, hard look at the mistakes he has made, and realizes that he needs to have confidence in himself and see something through to the end. It did provide some laugh-out-loud moments. Unfortunately, due to the accumulation of objectionable content, Dove cannot award our Seal to this film for family viewing.
