If you missed this movie the first time, it's worth checking out
Simon Pegg stars as Dennis Doyle, an overweight underachieving pizza deliveryman. Years earlier, he left his pregnant girlfriend at the altar. Dennis is now father to a five year old son and realizes he still in love with Libby. Libby has moved on and is engaged to Whit, a very successful and wealthy businessman from Chicago. Dennis is determined to win Libby back and run and complete the Nike River Marathon in London. He enlists the help of his two friends Gordon and Mr. Ghoshdastidar, his landlord, to help him get in shape and train. Dennis has never finished anything he has started so this is a herculean task for all. A further complication is Gordon has waged money on Doyle, money that he doesn't have. The bookies are not happy when they realize that Gordon may stiff them. Marathon day is finally here, will Dennis finally finish something he has started? This is a delightful comedy, one where you will find yourself rooting for the lovable Dennis. Mr G is a lovable, funny character who takes his role as a trainer very seriously. Hank Azaria is wonderful as the hunky boyfriend and serious threat to Dennis finding happiness.
