Meet Nancy (Lake Bell): 34, single (still), hung-over (again), and
exhausted by the endless futile set ups foisted upon her by well-meaning
but clueless friends. As she travels across London to toast another 10
years of her parent’s blissfully happy marriage, 40 year old, freshlyhatched divorcee Jack (Simon Pegg) mistakes her for his 24 year old blind
date. In a moment of uncharacteristic optimism (or insanity?), Nancy
decides to just go with it… What follows is a chaotic, unconventional,
hilarious night neither of them will ever forget. There will be drinking,
there will be home truths; there will be an old classmate with a longstanding crush and stalker tendencies. There will be lost divorce papers,
lost hopes, competitive indoor sports and an epic venue-to-venue urban
triathlon. Oh, and the small matter of Jack finding out that Nancy isn’t
actually his real blind date. MAN UP is a romantic comedy about being
yourself... or perhaps not being yourself. It's about taking chances,
making decisions and rolling with the consequences.
