I am not really sure why I call these posts reviews. I don't go all Ebert and say a lot about the movie. Just little tidbits.

Today's feature was Run Fatboy Run. I picked it up on the way out of the video store as one of the few comedies out there that aren't marketed to a teenager. I had seen Shaun of the Dead when it came out on DVD and was rather amused. (Hard to believe it was 5 years ago).

We actually watched the movie during the afternoon which is rather rare for us. Our typical movie watching time is between 7pm and 9pm, since it will end just before my wife’s bed time.

There was a lot of cliche and overdone stuff, but it was still enjoyable to watch. Both Simon Pegg and Hank Azaria were convincing. I am still not sure about Thandie Newton. My favorite role I have seen her in was ER. I was kind of shocked to see at the end that David Schwimmer of Friends fame was the Director.

It was nice to see another movie where London is used as a character. Any time I see a movie set in Europe, I guess I always think about where it is in relation to Prague. I really feel like Prague is like my home away from home. With my wife still owning the flat there, I guess that has something to do with it.

Movie Rating: 3 stars out of 5 (Enjoyable, but don't plan on a repeat viewing)
