Review of Man Up

Man Up (I) (2015)
9/10
Rom com gold
14 May 2021
I must confess- I have a secret addiction to watching rom coms. Yes, we all know the eventual endings before we start watching. Yes we know there will always be a hiatus at some point in the storyline. But that's the point. They're made to uplift and remind us of THAT feeling. The feeling when it begins. The magic, the awe, the excitement of the unknown.

This film captures all that and more. It's made with intelligence, humour, excellent performances and an even better script.

Simon and Lake as the two leads are magnetic. They fizz, spark and buzz off each other, and damn they're funny.

Favourite scenes: their dancing argument, the toilet confessionals, and lastly the fire extinguisher.

This really is rom com gold. And I should know - I've watched a few of them :)
