Up 'n' Under

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.

I caught this film on a plane ride to London and I have to say it was perfectly enjoyable. I tend to be a sucker for the "comeback kids" and underdog sports movies - Hoosiers (a.k.a Best Shot), Rudy, A League of Their Own, and the immortal 'Victory!' The characters are simple but likable, the story is predictable but uplifting, the girl is hot but with personality. All in all it was perfect for a plane ride or a fun night at home when there are no live sports on.

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.

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.

A brilliant comedy that highlights the British sense of humour and makes you get involved with the characters as they strive to become a team and win against The Cobblers. If you liked The Full Monty and When Saturday Comes then this is a must see. The soundtrack is brilliant and the actors play the parts amazingly and for the lads out there, there is an added bonus that you get to see Samantha Janus naked in the shower. Also there is the brilliance of the sadly deceased Gary Olsen (remember 2 point 4 children) who makes the film what it is not to mention Neil Morrissey (Men Behaving Badly) who plays the lanky and funny rugby lad very well. If you want to see a Brit Movie that makes you walk away feeling great then this is the one to see.
