Review of Man Up

Man Up (I) (2015)
7/10
A very funny romantic comedy that men will really enjoy as well. A great date movie. Pegg and Bell are great together.

"What kind of person stands underneath a clock waiting to steal someone's blind date?!" Nancy (Bell) is trying to find a good man but is starting to lose hope. She is more content staying in rather than going out and trying to date again. On her way to her parents 40th anniversary party she begins to talk to a woman who is on her way to a blind date. When she walks off without her book she tries to find the stranger and meets Jack (Pegg). What starts off as a mistake evolves into the best thing that has happened to either of them. For starters I have to admit that this is really just a cookie cutter romantic comedy that is very predictable. On the other hand though Simon Pegg and Lake Bell really help with the comedy and overall feel enough to make it seem fresh and interesting. This is also one of the few romantic comedies that men will like as well. There are some very funny moments in this as well as some great uses of 80's Power Ballads. Overall, a very funny romantic comedy that men will really enjoy as well. A great date movie. I give this a B+.
