    A 90 minute sitcom

    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.

    Up´n´Under:Fun Sport

    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.

    So bad it's.....well, crap really.

    With so many famous comedy actors you would think this could raise a few laughs. Unfortunately it is so so predictable and most of the characters and jokes are one dimensional and so clichéd. A waste of time and no doubt lottery money has been wasted. Even viewed as a harmless bit of fun this film must rate as poor. The storyline is obvious and uninspired, the acting wooden and the sporting action - as in so many British sports films - a joke. Am i the only person who thinks Neil Morrisey is the most overrated, luckiest and annoying comedy actors around. Got to remark on Samantha Janus' arse....i don't think i've seen a better one on screen. A perfect 10/10. Absolutely gorgeous!! Should have showed a lot more of it.

    If you like Brit Movies then this is a must see

    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.

    Bottom of the league

    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.

    • Trivia
      Based on a stage play "Up 'n' Under" first performed by the Hull Truck Theatre Company in 1984.
    • Goofs
      The movie is set in Upton, West Yorkshire but at one point the team pass the Humber Bridge near Kingston Upon Hull while travelling from Arthur's house to the local rugby ground. This would be a 100 mile detour but was likely added to the movie as an homage to the original stage play being set in Hull.

      Steve: Well...

      Hazel Scott: Oh, You're not shy are you?

      Steve: No!

      Hazel Scott: Right.

      [turns off the shower, steps out and begins to dry herself]
