“I loved Shaun of the dead and hot fuzz so i knew i would like this but it was even funnier than i thought it was going to be.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA strong cast, the storyline was obvious but then i think that was the point, it was supposed to be a cliché, thatu0026#39;s why it seemed funnier. The direction and writing were very good and generally the pace of the film was perfect.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI adore Simon Pegg in these roles, his ability to play the straight, flawed individual but make him the funniest man on screen is great and youu0026#39;re drawn to his story, no matter how ridiculous his predicament is. His best friend was hilarious, the setting of the London marathon was a great idea and Hank Azaria played his part well as the whole way through i wanted him to not get the girl and lose the race.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s not as funny as Simonu0026#39;s other films but i really enjoyed it and it was well worth paying to see, in fact iu0026#39;d watch it again tomorrow as there was so many laughs throughout to hold my interest.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall i love the Britishness of this film, the good guy and his basic life, itu0026#39;s not showy, or Hollywood itu0026#39;s just a simple film with comedy stars doing silly things and making us laugh, a perfect pick me up if you ask me.”
