Man Up (2015 Ben Palmer)

Simon Pegg and Lake Bell are on good form as couple who end up on the wrong date, and ensuing complications are fun, but film doesn't have a single shot in it longer than about five seconds, which then makes you start wondering whether the performances were created in the editing room - I'm sure they weren't but it makes you wonder. Also you yearn for the space -- think of Preston Sturges.

It's an Andrew Dunn film (and it looks like one), edited by that Paul Machliss fellow again. Ben's a TV director and I think it shows (this is where Machliss comes from as well).

Harriet Walter is in it.
