RogerEbert.com — Man Up
“Man Up” is a pretty standard romantic comedy on paper, featuring all the tropes of the genre: the meet-cute, the wacky friends, the spontaneous dance routine, etc. But the charismatic Lake Bell and Simon Pegg have such sparkling chemistry, they make this predictable trip worthwhile. Bell, in Bridget Jones mode as a lonely London singleton, also does a solid British accent. My RogerEbert.com review.
Cute. Cute. Cute flick. Thanks for the review, otherwise I’d have completely missed this one.
Simon Pegg impressed me in Run, Fatboy, Run. So cute.
Lake Bell got my attention in In A World. So talented.
Together in Man Up, they utterly delighted and entertained me.
Rented DIRECTV PPV. Will be watching again tomorrow with hubby. The banter was so fast and furious in some places I missed some of the dialog. I’m sure, once again, I’ll be grinning from ear to ear and heartily laughing.
So glad you found it and liked it! Thanks as always for sharing your thoughts, Jozie.
