Up the Villa - title of a movie that centers around an aristocratic family living in a large luxurious residence.
villa- from Latin vīlla: "The often large, luxurious country house of a well-to-do person (Guru dictionary)".
Up the Villa means what's going on AT the villa = up at the villa. Villa remains to be the main background of the entire movie.
