Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Run, Fat Boy, Run is the directorial debut of actor David Schwimmer, who is much better behind the camera than in front of it. Here, he's taken material best suited to sketch comedy and turned it into a feature of no small heart and humour.

fresh:
Amiable, consistently amusing and surprisingly affecting, it has the flavor of a Nick Hornby novel, with its focus on an overgrown boy struggling to grow up and be a man.

rotten:
One thing Schwimmer does do right is keep the story moving swiftly. You're in, you're out, no harm done -- unless you want that hour and a half back.

fresh:
Sure it's predictable. Sure it's a slight effort, but I still think it's pretty funny and charming.

rotten:
This feeble premise limits the movie to perfunctory gags about the hero's sloth and some canned underdog drama.
