Simon Pegg and Lake Bell star as inadvertent lovers in a new trailer for Man Up.

The romantic comedy sees introverted Nancy (Bell) wishing that she had more confidence to 'put herself out there'.

She meets a stranger (Ophelia Lovibond) on a train off to meet a blind date. The man will recognise his date from the book she is carrying.

However, when the stranger leaves her book behind and Nancy chases her to return it, she is intercepted by the woman's blind date Jack (Pegg).

After Jack mistakes Nancy for his date, she decides to take a chance and go along with the idea.

Man Up is directed by The Inbetweeners director Ben Palmer and written by Tess Morris. It is produced by Pegg alongside Nira Park under their Big Talk Productions banner in collaboration with Studio Canal.

Man Up is released in the UK on May 29.
