    LastingAware The greatest movie ever!
    Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
    Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
    Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
    seanpaulcasey Quirky, a little out there, and weird characters that grow on you. A nice change of comedy where you can't predict the episode or action or dialogue. Sound track and music is pretty cool
    aemenzies Not quite sure what to say about MAN DOWN?? Earlier episodes were really hilarious-- for the shock value alone. Not too crazy about the "DAD" character-- as he became more and more of a sadistic torturer of "Dan." In general, the show's humor was based on ridiculing and victimizing DAN-- and not by just one character--but they would gang-up on him--not very nice and hard to watch. Dan's self-denigration is not funny either as a constant theme? This seems to be a key element in ALL of Greg Davies work. Sad. Some elements are insanely funny--many scenes with Dan's Students are a riot. Especially LOVE "Dennis" -- insightful, outrageous depiction of a kid with a tough family life? But, Audience is laughing WITH Dennis--not AT him. Season 4 when Dan becomes a Dad-- is mostly awful-with everyone --his Mom, Aunt, etc constantly humiliating Dan- just a mob of bullies--and Emma, and HER Parents being vicious and mean to Dan--AND violating HIS RIGHTS as a Father? Nothing funny about that. Maybe these last seasons have been cathartic for the Writers--like Davies? But not much fun for Viewers. :(
    frukuk Having watched one half (episodes 1,2 and 6) of series 4, and having watched episodes from earlier series, Man Up still seems to be a programme with a far too lenient approach to quality control.From the ending to the final episode of series 4, it looks like there will be a series 5. If so, I do hope someone will encourage the two writers, Greg Davies and Stephen Morrison, to rope in a more experienced writer who has the balls to tell them that much of what they write is ... just ... not ... funny ... enough.It may be that a side-effect of never having warmed to Greg Davies's character, is that I find this much less funny than it actually is. But I don't think this is the case: I think it genuinely and simply isn't funny enough.
    Humbole As no-one has yet written a review, I felt obliged to begin.Having just watched the first two episodes, I can tell you, my cheeks are aching and I haven't laughed so much since my Auntie wet herself in Tesco.Greg Davies is utterly brilliant. Hapless, helpless and human. The interaction with the children had me shrieking and holding my sides.The casting of Rik Mayall as 'Dad' is a stroke of genius. Utterly bonkers and an uncanny resemblance.Imagine The Inbetweeners for 40-somthings, with a little Nighty Night thrown in.If you like Greg's stand-up, I guarantee this will tickle your fancy.
