Bumps and Highlights along the way

It's not a perfect comedy by all means. But it has a lot of heart. And it's not only in the outtakes that it can be seen, that the actors had a lot of fun in this. You do sometimes wonder how they could have stayed with a straight face, with the things they do or say to each other. Still this is not only funny and uplifting, it has two very charismatic and talented people at the front.

This may not be enough for some comedies, but with a solid script like this one has, the movie did Man Up and deliver on its premise. It does have flaws as I already mentioned, like the inciting incident, you have to buy it, to enjoy the rest. But if you get over that, you will have fun with it - literally

Needed a Hugh Grant type

Man Up is inspired by the Richard Curtis rom-coms. It teams up an American star with a British actor. Nancy (Lake Bell) who feels unlucky in love and feeling life is passing her by ends up mistakenly going on a blind date with Jack (Simon Pegg) who is still affected from a recent divorce.

Both strike up a good rapport sharing similar interests in music and movies despite Nancy being stalked all evening by a former school friend who she had a chance encounter with at a bar. Meanwhile Jack bumps with his ex wife and her new lover.

This is a feel good film with a good blend of comedy, romance and cynicism. The Rory Kinnear character is too obnoxious and I think Pegg is not quite right for this type of rom-coms.

Enjoyable but not exactly a must-see.

"Man Up" is a decent film but could have been better. While it's a romantic-comedy, it's also has some content that isn't necessarily that funny nor romantic.

When the film begins, Nancy (Lake Bell) is dead set against yet another set-up by her friends. This 30-something single lady is tired of dating and dreads yet another loser. Later in the film, however, she does something very strange and impulsive...and incredibly selfish. She meets a man who is expecting to meet a blind date and he thinks SHE is the woman. While it's hard to believe, she decides he seems like a pretty nice guy and pretends to be his date!! They have a great time...until he discovers she's NOT his date! At this point it naturally gets complicated and they are at each other's throats at times...and they end up pretty much exactly where you'd expect by the end of the film.

The story is rather original and at times the characters are interesting...though Nancy is clearly a selfish lady. I was a bit alarmed by how much the pair drank and drank and drank on their dates. This isn't exactly sexy and perhaps others won't notice or be alarmed...but the father in me kept thinking "Lady...you've already had about a dozen drinks...and you don't even know this guy!". But on balance despite some difficulty I had liking the pair, the good does outweigh the bad.

By the way, I was impressed by the American-born Lake Bell. While I am NOT a Brit and perhaps they could discern that her accent sucked, it sure sounded real to me and if I hadn't seen her in "In a World" (a film I much preferred), I would have just assumed she was a Brit.
