Storyline

Three modern men try to get in touch with their inner tough guys and redefine what it means to be a real man. Will's grandfather fought in WWII. Will's father fought in Vietnam. Will plays Call of Duty on his PS3 and drinks non-dairy hazelnut creamer. So what happened to all the real men? They're still here, they just smell like pomegranate body wash now. Meet Will. his evolved, sensitive nature is why his awesome wife, Theresa married him. But Will and his friends find themselves wondering, in a world of Axe ads and manscaping, what does it really mean to be a guy anymore? Will is more interested in finding the perfect gift for his son Nathan's 13th birthday than in doing his job selling insurance; sensitive soul Craig still pines for his college ex, Lisa; and Kenny clamps down on his anger and asks himself, "what would Tobey Maguire do?," when his ex, Brenda, starts seeing a guy who is everything he's not and much better looking. After Craig crashes Lisa's wedding to try to win her ...

User Reviews

Okay

I found all the episodes very stupid, I mean, the characters of this TV show look idiots, I mean, I can't identify this TV show to anybody in the world. I'm not gonna lie that the show is pretty funny, I've laughed out loud once or twice, but that doesn't save the TV show from the disaster that it is. I found the concept interesting and each episode's plot as well, but I say it again, the bad thing that they've done with the show was the job they've done with the characters that in this case, are a very important element, I think the worst of the show was Teri Polo.

Sow, I guess the show has been canceled by now (Wich was not a bad idea), so don't bother to watch a single episode, if the show was still on, I would recommend you to watch a few episode, you would enjoy the episode and you would might have a few good laughs but you'll just not enjoy the characters-most of them- which will make you find some actors annoying. Honestly, I think I would handle one more season.

Man Up: 6.5/10 Good TV show, but it still had the potential to be much better, if they didn't create childish characters, this would give an entertaining and funny show.
