Have I killed my humour? Browsing through IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes to see what other people thought, I was suprised to learn the great reviews that the film Run FatBoy Run and Big Nothing got.
Run Fatboy Run is a film starring Simon Pegg and is shit. Anyone wanting a quirky funny film with original script and plot development - avoid. If you're looking for a Notting Hill-ish lite comedy with predictable character development and a seriously underused cast, watch this film. There are moments where you'll miss the jokes until you reach the end and say "oh, THOSE were the jokes. I thought that was regular conversation."
Big Nothing I was disappointed with, firstly as again it has Simon Pegg, and I'm a big Spaced fan, but also had David Schwimmer who out of all the Friends I believe had the best comic timing, even though he was an annoying character.
Firstly I was put off by Pegg's horrendous and embarressing American accent. Then the plot develops badly, entering into a completely unbelievable situation - this does not make it funny however, you're just kept wondering whether this is in fact a prolonged dream sequence. THis may be a slightly unfair review as I didn't actually finish watching it as I was distracted by a spider building a web.
I really want to know what others think, were they disappointed or did they find them hilarious?
