Run Fatboy Run	comment	Dennis Doyle (Simon Pegg) is a clueless, chronically indecisive and slightly overweight Manchild who left his pregnant fiancÃ©e Libby (Thandiwe Newton) at the altar five years earlier. He constantly tries to persuade the woman he loves to accept him back into her life, but when he discovers that Libby has found a new partner in the form of American Whit (Hank Azaria), frustration grows, and Dennis vows that for once in his life, he will finish something. This something ends up being the Nike River Run in London. With his friend Gordon (Dylan Moran) and landlord Mr. Goshdashtidar by his side, Dennis begins training for the marathon he must finish to win the respect of both Libby, and himself.

Unfortunately for Whit, he destroys his opportunity to marry Libby when he reveals himself to be a big Control Freak, culminating with him yelling at Libby's son and calling him a "little shit" when he annoys him in the film's final act. Libby is visibly perturbed by this, and subsequently ditches Whit when it's ultimately revealed he ''deliberately'' tripped Dennis during the marathon, breaking his ankle.

Another obvious one is after Dennis and Gordon fight. Dennis runs around the corner and clearly visible on the wall behind him is of a man hanging from a tree, because at that point, he's at his lowest ebb in the film.

Dennis attempting to drink raw eggs during the Training Montage, as well as the camera angle during that scene, is a reference to Rocky.

Run Fatboy Run / int_cbb2d821	comment	Turned Off By The Jerkass: Dennis' ex-girlfriend is quite okay with her new boyfriend Wint, who is The Ace (at least comparatively to Dennis) and Dennis can see that he is a jerk but cannot convince her of it, but she ditches him the very second he is irritated about her son changing channels on the TV of the hospital room he is staying at after a minor accident on a marathon and yells at the kid "choose one channel and stick to it, you little shit!"

Run Fatboy Run / int_d9563969	comment	Failed Attempt at Drama: At the end, after watching Dennis's big moment of triumph, Whit is driven to such a rage that he tries to yank the television away to smash it to pieces. Unfortunately for him, it's screwed on pretty tightly to the wall, meaning that after a few moments of pathetic struggling and fuming he's reduced to just simply switching it off with the button.
