Starring THANDIE NEWTON and SIMON PEGG (as the "Fat Boy"?).

A chunky, clueless guy leaves his fiancée on their wedding day only to discover -- some 10 years later -- that she is his one true love. But in order to win back her heart, he looks to finish his first marathon while making her realize her new man is the wrong guy for her.

I haven't watched the trailer yet because I'm at work and I don't really have any other excuse.

I saw the trailer for this in the cinema when I went to go and watch Hot Fuzz. It looked quite good.

I laughed loud at Pegg squatting awkwardly and then grabbing his balls and looking behind him to see if something has fallen out, or whatever is happening in that moment.

Supposedly not out until September 30th :(

Oh, and Dylan Moran!

Oh! The short shorts! That must be a Michael Ian Black thing, as he was sportin' those in "The Baxter."

At the end of that plot synopsis they forgot to add, "... and hilarity ensues."

What CJ said. Funnier on the screen than it looks on paper.

Has Thandie Newton decided to confine her work to the "mean-spirited comedies about fat people" genre?

'run fat boy run' by nine pound hammer better be somewhere on this soundtrack. not that i'll ever bother to verify, but nonetheless.

hahaha omg you know Nine Pound Hammer! I love them, they are from around here. I had my first "mosh pit" experience at a "show" they played, Lafayette High School cafeteria, 1992.

Incidentally that is a wonderful song, and yes it should be on the sndtrk (they were on some other big Hollywood comedy movie sndtrk recently, can't remember what).

man, i would give anything to travel back in time to see nine pound hammer play a high school cafeteria. they're touring again, you should keep an eye out.
