...........GO!! (to watch this)! This film is really good, its not technically been done before, coz its about the marathon, and so there is a lot to like! First off, I think the best thing is my dear Dylan Moran, I love him, he is in my top 3 of fave comedians of mine! (none of them hav an actual position, they just drift around the 3 places, lol) but anyway, Dylan is hilarious in this and him and Simon Pegg are really good friends in real life and have done many projects together, which I think is sweet!!
This film is a charming, british gem, I mean u know how it will end (I spose it does hav links to Liar, Liar, but that was also a good film!) and so give it a GO!!

I've seen this story so many time - the couple split with a child, a step dad appears on the scene.... yup Liar, Liar etc... however I still found the film entertaining due to Simon Pegg. The jokes aren't the standard of Hot Fuzz or Shaun of the Dead, but more a softer humour minus the weird stuff. Still worth watching if you like Simon Pegg and you don't want a story with any twists... It made me laugh for the duration.

Loved it-BRILLIANT .romantic and very funny.cant get enough of dis !g2g by dis game now!!!

If this movie didn't have Simon Pegg in it I wouldn't of even considered buying it, but I'm a big fan of most of the stuff he's in so I thought i'd give this a whirl.
As a movie, it's okay I guess, but thats about as nice as I can be. Its funny in parts and Pegg plays a good role and makes the character his own, but I just feel it could have been so much funnier! Its all a bit 'Notting Hill' style for me. Too much nice humour and the story is far too typical. Loser loses girl to high flying buisness man who we're mean't to hate. Loser does anything to win back girl....you know how these things play out and because of that, its just far too predictable. Plenty of room for better gags in there aswell. This movie was never going to win any oscars i suppose and it is an okay watch if you want a movie you can just watch without having to think about it too much. Thats about all I can say really, just another one of those run of the mill family comedies that is made (at best) bearable by the inclusion of Simon pegg in the lead role.

I love3d this film fun, romantic and stupid. It doesn't take its self seiously. I would watch any comedy film with simon pegg in it I think he is brillant.

I liked this film, watched having not heard much about it, fairly amusing throughout the film with a few big belly laughs, the outcome is obvious, the drama predictable but the up beat feel throughout the film makes you forgive this typical rom-comy type film. Watch it, you'll enjoy it...

I like this film for what it is, a lighthearted rom-com. That's it. Don't expect the latest Sundance award-winning masterpiece of the year, because it's not. And thankfully, it's not trying to be.
And as ever Dylan Moran shines through like a black light in a dark room. That man is depressingly hilarious. Love him.
In short, if you like romance films, you'll like this. If you like comedy films, you'll like this.

I loved Shaun of the dead and Hot Fuzz but this film kind of left me a bit empty. It seems to want to bridge the gap between British comedy and American rom-com but just plain falls short of the finish line. Some parts of it are funny but there are just others where it tries to be a serious romantic comedy and they just in conflict throughout the film. Maybe if Simon Peggs character was a little more pathetic in the film and had to make an even greater dramatic improvement throughout the film it would have worked, as it was though it just came across as "ordinary".

Enjoyable but forgettable.

Excellent film. Just be aware that the film is not a 12 rated movie, but a 15 years and over.

As much as i love David Schwimmer, the film is predictable and is also funny but i mean the main character is obviously not fat, they could have done a 100% better job at finding a character and the film does not have the message across as powerfully as i thought it would

sorry but in my view Awful
