David Schwimmer directs this comedy about a down - and - out
single schlub (Simon Pegg), who decides to run a marathon to win back the fianc e (Westworld's Thandie Newton) he left five years prior.
Romance, Amer - indie style: nothing gets close to Hong's barb than perhaps the Duplass brothers» Cyrus, in which a
schlub's implausibly requited love by a
single mother is undermined, nay utterly thwarted, by the schemings of her 21 - year - old son Cyrus, an oversized manchild with a keyboard fetish and a considerable gift for co-dependent-some-more behavior.
