Luckily there are some great new releases hitting Irish cinemas today, with everything from rom coms to action in the mix.

Man Up
We never say no to anything starring Simon Pegg, so we already have high hopes for this charming comedy. Eternal singleton Nancy (Lake Bell) is on her way to her parent's wedding anniversary party – oh, the joys – when Jack (Pegg) mistakes her as his blind date. Nancy takes a chance, with some exciting results…
