Simon Pegg romantic lead.

Depends on the tone. He's believable as a man looking for love. But not as the prize, unless the woman is flawed, too.

Why can't he be the romantic lead - he's not amazing looking but he's pretty cute. Definitely more realistic to have someone like him, rather than a chiselled adonis (who also happens to be funny, sweet, smart and loving - yeah right, because those people exist!)

I've always thought that Simon Pegg was rather cute.

Of course, bananas are far more interesting.

I can by him as a romantic lead. But who is going to set up their 24 year old friend who's a triathlete with him? And further more what 24 year old girl would agree to go out with someone so much older than them without even meeting them? When you are 24 someone 30 seems old.

LOL -- I get what you're saying, Simon clearly isn't the obvious choice for a rom com (which might be the point) -- but with Lake Bell???

I mean... she's a very good actress and all, but. Come on, seriously.

IMDb-boards would be less confusing if people would mark their signatures clearly.

Yes I have to totally agree with you there . Films can only stretch the imagination so far but to cast him alongside Lake Bell seems insane . I know Hollywood have an obsession with casting old men next to young girls also . There would have been much more suitable British actors to play this role . Pegg is supposedly representative of the pseudo charming middle classed British "everyman"and has had a good track record in comedy roles like Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz but he has become irritating ever since .

Oddly enough, every Simon Pegg movie I have seen has been about him and a romantic interest, including Run Fatboy Run, How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, and most recently Hector and the Search for Happiness. I was thinking all this guy does is romantic comedies.

Sure... because a movie about two people falling into genuine and true love means so much more when they're both supermodels, right?

I mean... if a girl decides she wants to be with Channing Tatu... are we really supposed to buy into the idea that she loves him for his personality and such?

Simon Pegg's not a bad-looking guy by any standard at all... unless you're talking about movie star standards... but the standards of what's attractive when we're talking about Hollywood movie stars is pretty ridiculous, no?

If the movie was about a star Linebacker in the National Football League then I could understand you say you just can't imagine Simon Pegg being cast in that role will work for ya... but we're talking about two people that decide they have a genuine connection and love each other... and you can't get past the fact that people that aren't perfect 10s don't ever fall in love? Seriously? Wow.

With complete sincerity I can tell you that I hope you one day meet someone that redefines your completely faulty notion of what it must be like to be in love.
