Movie #1188 ........................."Man Up"

Movie #1188 "Man Up" --- I was looking for an 80 minute romantic comedy and ended up with this.  The premise is a typical meet up --- girl in wrong place at right time and holding a book that a blind date (using the internet) is supposed to look for and so he wrongly thinks she is someone else --- she finds him interesting (kind of bored with her life)  so she goes along with it --- result:  some laughs, but only because of the two people involved (Simon Pegg and Lake Bell) and a fairly fast, witty script.  I must say I enjoyed the opening of the movie a tad more than the end  because it was more original (as original as you can get in a rom-com).  There is no new ground here, but very capable comics doing a good job.  If you are looking for the same, maybe you want to check this out?  (I would give it 3.5 out of 5 stars)
