MAN UP

A single woman who’s mistaken for a stranger’s blind date, leads to her finding the perfect boyfriend. — IMDB

Great fun! The structure of the story is predictable, but the characters and humour are fresh, making this one of the best romantic comedies I’ve seen for a while. Simon Pegg (Jack) and Lake Bell (Nancy) are excellent actors, delivering their lines with impeccable timing. They have great chemistry on screen and the supporting cast are all good. There are some very funny moments in this lighthearted movie. The cinematography is sharp and there are some great scenes of London, the location for the story. The dialogue is fast and the story moves along at a great pace. A delightful entry to the rom-com genre — and a good candidate for a date night.
