I went to see this at the weekend, I was expecting something decent as everyone tells me Simon Pegg films are normally quite good.
To me it seemed so unrealistic(yes I know it's a film) a guy decides to do a marathon with 3 weeks of training, how stupid! The guy in the film smokes and is generally of below average fitness.

He then sprains his ankle after one mile, but does the other 25 almost walking on the ankle then collapses just before the end. Then his ex who he was trying to win back and his son run to the finish line he sees them gets up like he's just come out of the blocks in a sprint and legs it into there arms.

It seemed to me like all the funny bit of the film were used in the adverts, it dragged basically. If your going to go and watch it prepare to be disapointed.

I have to disagree - I thoroughly enjoyed it, I'd definately recommend it. I found it really funny and balanced with some really hearfelt moments in it - you find yourself rooting for Simon Peggs character.

I thought it was really disappointing. It was much more sentimental than I had expected. And what was with all the product placement?? It was like an extended advert for Nike! I expected better than that. :(

i thought it was quite funny - i don't normally find much humour in movies.

Aww, I was looking forward to seeing it - I like Simon Pegg, but maybe I'll lower my expectations a little

I was expecting it to be good, not excellent, turns out i was right, it was predictable, but there were some funny bits, nowhere as close to his other projects though.
