Plot Summary

A 34-year old single woman, Nancy, hungover again, exhausted by the fruitless set-ups by her friends, travels up to London to toast another 10 years of her parents' successful marriage. She runs in with a 40-year old divorcee, Jack, who mistakes her for his 24-year old blind date. Nancy, deciding to go with it, happens to hop on the most chaotic yet hilarious journey of her life which neither of them will ever forget. There is drinking, competitive indoor sports, an old stalker classmate with a long-standing crush, lost divorce papers, lost hopes, and yeah, Jack finding out the truth. "Man Up" is a romantic comedy about taking chances, being yourself, making decisions, and rolling with the consequences. Written by Samuel Prongs

Edit
Trivia The story was based on screenwriter Tess Morris's real-life encounter at London Waterloo Station, where a man approached her and asked if she was his blind date. She wondered what would have happened if she had said yes. See more »
Goofs When they return to Waterloo, it is meant to be 10pm. The access to the Underground was closed, it must have been filmed in the middle of the night. See more »
Movie Connections Featured in Kylie Minogue/Simon Pegg/Michael McIntyre/Brandon Flowers (2015). See more »

Quotes Nancy: I've got a confession to make. I'm not really your blind date, Jack.
Jack: What? Are you even 24?
Nancy: No! Add another 10. I was just merely trying to meet my mate in the modern world.
