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.

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.

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.

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.

This film based on John Godber's stage play actually was written long before Brassed Off & The Full Monty

Set in Hull & with some good on location scenes that resemble Hull even if they are not

Some good casting even tho' they are obviously not from Hull, at least there were no put on accents

The acting was of a good quality & John Godber's sense of humour was very obvious.

A good adaption from the very successful stage play first seen at the Hull Truck Theatre.

A definitely worth watching film
