Up 'n' Under

Up 'n' Under is a predictable paint-by-numbers sports movie that attempts to follow in the footsteps of The Full Monty and Brassed Off but has a significantly weaker script and rather poor acting (Neil Morrissey was seriously stealing a living during the 90s). The storyline is remarkably unfeasible and none of the characters stand out in any way.

However, despite its shortcomings, the film captures the era quite well and is perfectly enjoyable for people of a certain age. The shower scene is probably the film's most memorable moment and, one must say, for good reason. In those innocent pre-internet-porn days, it was scenes like that which kept many a teenage boy happy.

It wants to be a charming british comedy. But it's not! Instead it's an episode of a sitcom stretched out. Who cares about any of these people. Let them win or lose - I'm not bothered! For a BBC sitcom the acting, writing and direction is good. However for a movie expecting people to pay to watch I'm afraid it's just poor.

There's very little to love in this film - Yes Samantha Janus is nude in it, but if you want to watch nudity then go rent porn! Nudity doesn't make up for an unfunny comedy.

Could have been called "Brassed Off with Muck". the underlying theme is so similar to Brassed Off,but it does not even come close to the conscience of that film. The only highlight is Samantha Janus's ample bottom in the shower scene with Neil Morrissey.

This film Don´t pass the rating because it´s Full Monty without striptease.Rugby isn´t one of the most practise sport but it doesn´t matter but if you don´t know this sport or you hate it,Rugby isn´t the main topic.Unemployed people ,beer and fun is all of the elements. SENTENCE FOR UP´N´UNDER:GOOD BUT NO MORE.

Up'n' under 1998 John Godber. Oh dear what a calamity . It's tough up north, especially when you are a failing ex rugby player, with a failing marriage. With a chance to win big with a former rival and ex of his wife, a bet is made with his house at stake . To turn a bunch of hopeless ageing rugby players who can beat the local champions in the final of a rugby 7s tournament. Throw in some terrible acting and dialogue and a gratuitous shot of Samantha Janus's bum and boobs and you're onto a winner. Can you guess what happens..., Apparently John Godber for a little while was the most performed living play-write in the UK. Watch this to see a cliche driven script which is boring and predictable 4/10.
