Romantic comedy starring Lake Bell and Simon Pegg. Thirty-something singleton Nancy is fed up with her friends' attempts at matchmaking. But when she's mistaken for a blind date by divorcee Jack, she decides to go with the flow. It proves to be a memorably chaotic evening.
Lake Bell stars here as a woman who steals someone else's blind date (Simon Pegg) from under a clock at Waterloo Station, and then tries to perpetuate the lie over the course of one eventful evening. Complicating matters further are Bell's oddball school chum (Rory Kinnear) and Pegg's weird ex-wife (Olivia Williams). Heaped with wit and insight, this feel-good screwball romance from director Ben Palmer (The Inbetweeners Movie) boasts a smart script and winning performances, all set against buzzing London streets. Bell's English accent is pretty good for a New Yorker, too.
