Man Up

Nancy is a single woman in her mid-thirties, worn down by years of unsuccessful setups arranged by well-meaning friends and family. While traveling to celebrate her parents' wedding anniversary, she meets Jack, a divorced man in his forties who mistakes her for the much younger woman he is supposed to meet for a blind date. Rather than correcting him, Nancy decides to play along, and the two are carried through one unpredictable night in London that neither of them will forget.

Ben Palmer directed the film, his third feature after The Inbetweeners Movie and Bad Sugar. Tess Morris wrote the screenplay, and Nira Park, James Biddle and Rachael Prior produced. Simon Pegg plays Jack and Lake Bell plays Nancy, with Rory Kinnear, Ken Stott, Harriet Walter and Sharon Horgan among the supporting cast.

Released in 2015 and running 88 minutes, the film is a British, American and French co-production from StudioCanal, BBC Film, Big Talk Productions and Anton Capital Entertainment. Its worldwide box office came to about 3 million dollars, a modest return. On IMDb it holds 6.8 out of 10 from around 59,000 votes, while on TMDB it sits at 6.6 from roughly a thousand votes, indicating a generally favorable but not enthusiastic audience response. A critics' rating of 6.3 from 79 reviews places it slightly below the audience scores.
