This week on Every Rom Com, we continue our Self-Help series with a blind date gone sideways in the 2015 film “Man Up.” We’ll talk about personal mantras and resolutions, discuss the fictional self-help book “Six Billion People And You”, and give some ideas for good first date questions. We’ll also take a look at Tess Morris, a screenwriter who improves the wacky misunderstanding genre by moving the uncomfortable truth into the second act. Tune in and find out why we all enjoyed this Lake Bell/Simon Pegg rom com!
