Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOn the March 21st edition of Late Night with Conan O'Brien (1993), Director David Schwimmer discussed the scene between Hank Azaria and Simon Pegg that takes place in the locker room. Generally, if males have to be nude for a scene, they will use a nude (flesh)-colored pouch to cover themselves. However, for some reason, the pouch wouldn't stay put, and Azaria ultimately decided to forgo wearing it, but told Schwimmer not to say anything to Pegg. The reaction of shock we see from Simon Pegg when Azaria drops his towel is genuine.
- GoofsDennis is arrested for buying tickets from a policeman posing as a tout (scalper) outside the theater showing "Lord of the Rings". In fact it is only an offense to sell tickets in this way, not buy them.
- Crazy creditsClosing credits shown in (hard to read) foot-prints, as in a marathon runner running.
- Alternate versionsTwo words are dubbed over in the version shown on HBO in the United States. (1) While in the bun shop, the little old lady calls Dennis a "prick" instead of a "cock". (2) When Libby is showing Gordon the bathroom, he says that he put on Italian loafers and they "hurt like hell" instead of "hurt like fuck". In both instances, the actor's mouths are clearly mouthing the correct words, which are also shown in the closed captions.

This is worth a watch, no really it is......
I loved this film from start to finish!!! The story, the cast, the acting, the directing all of these things are bang - on hats off to David Schwimmer i say !! This is isn't exactly the most intellectual storyline and it isn't going to change your life, but it is very entertaining Pegg at his best offering some of the funniest lines and on screen hilarity iv'e seen in a while. Plus Dylan Moran is excellent and usually i find that Stand-Up Comedians don't carry into films very well but this didn't seem a problem for Moran.
the film is also riddled with cameo's from famous British Comedians! That really put the cherry on top of of this film.
If you want to see and honest comedy with a very heartfelt and original script Run,Fatboy,Run is for you!!!
