Review of Man Up (2015) by Andrew M — 11 Mar 2016
The casual nature of this film mixes romantic and comedy genres well. The chemistry between Lake Bell and Simon Pegg is spot on and they make an impressive pair. The premise is fun and indicative of the audience this film is trying to attract.
The fact that the film makes these people complicated, obtuse, and difficult only adds to their realism as people with baggage and experience. Lake Bell does some great accent work, remains a relatable mess in the best of ways and plays off Pegg well.
Both feel like lovable jerks and entertain throughout. Highly recommend for fans of both.
