“Why?”
Dennis (Simon Pegg) is a loser. He spends his days working as a mall security guard and his nights alone in his crappy basement apartment being scolded by his landlord Mr. Ghoshdashtidar (Harish Patel) and his buxom daughter (India de Beaufort).
It wasn’t always this way, however. Dennis was once engaged to the beautiful and caring Libby (Thandie Newton), that is until he ran from their wedding leaving her pregnant and alone at the altar.
Years later Dennis, still not over Libby, faces her new boyfriend (Hank Azaria), a succcessful business man who seems both his ex and his son (Matthew Fenton) are starting to fall for. To prove himself to Libby, Dennis signs-up for the charity marathon and attempt to beat Whit and win back his family.
The cast is pretty good across the board, and that’s a good thing because the writing leaves something to be desired. Still, you really have to wonder about casting Simon Pegg, who is not fat, in the title role here. I guess the title “Run, Jerkface, Run” didn’t have the same ring to it.
