Run, Fat Boy, Run

Run... as far away from this 90 minute Nike advert as you can! 'Twas average at best. I'd love to tell you more about it, but there just ain't no more to tell. A big disappointment.

Here here!! didn't like the way it cashes-in on the considerable talent and popularity of its stars.

AND... don't you just love American films set in the UK that try SO DAMN HARD to look British and quirky. Reminded me of Notting Hill. OK... I'm gonna sit down now and drink some herbal tea before I start feeling violent!!

Oh... except, if you're in company of someone else where you can point and laugh at this film's stupidity in harmony, it is at least a bearable experience... :D Still... don't give your money to this goddamn Nike Ad!!

See, now I saw it with a friend and we thought it was amusing enough. Not on par with Shaun of the Dead obviously, but still, we laughed. Maybe it was cuz we were in a silly mood anyway, but heck, I've seen muuuuuch worse.
You're right tho that it cashes in on the stars popularity...but still, if you like said stars it should raise a chuckle :)

Tells you all you need to know - it is amusing, nothing more.

The plot is predictable, the "twists" are predictable, it was written by a group of 20 people in a room

Nike will give us £10mill to do a film
Hugh Grant is too expensive - that Simon of the dead guy (sic), he's funny at the moment
OK, so Nike = trainers, he needs to wear trainers - he runs. Love bit - he has to run to win his girlfriend back - from the evil guy who is trying to save her - who ends up being an arsehole - and the good guy comes good after looking like a bit of a drip.

Wow, let's film it

[fad]

I just saw Euro trip on telly....no I'm not proud of it but I was bored....and was surprised to discover that there is no drinking age in Britain, according to the characters in the film!
Does anyone else find this disturbing ignorance on the part of our supposed closest allies worrying? I mean, how much research did they actually put in? I can live with geographical screw-ups like those seen in 'Twenty eight weeks later' on the basis that it makes for a prettier film but to misjudge the laws of the country your film is based in is just plain lazy and stupid. I bet if someone made a film that claims it is legal for Yanks to shag their twelve year old cousins certain people would be hopping up and down in protest!
