Man Up is a 2015 romantic comedy film directed by Ben Palmer and written by Tess Morris.

The film follows a 34-year old single woman who is mistaken for a stranger's blind date and finds the perfect man for her in a 40-year old divorcé.

She then travels to London to attend her parents' 40th anniversary celebration where she plans to give a speech.

Then, Nancy runs into her secondary school classmate and stalker, Sean, who works at the bowling alley.

After realising that they have lost Jack's bag and Nancy's notebook with her speech, they both race back to the bar.

At the anniversary party, Nancy gives an impromptu speech to her parents, one that includes the sentiment that her date with Jack changed her for the better.

In June 2013, it was announced Simon Pegg had joined the Big Talk production, co-starring as the romantic interest.
