Dreadfully Boring

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

I lost track at how many times I laughed. I think I pulled a stomach muscle. What a good movie. Awesome writing! Feels good, like watching a John Hughes film.

Baruchel is somewhat nerdy airport employee who happens to help drop-dead gorgeous Eve in distress, after much support from his gang of airport friends he asks her out. He expects the hammer to fall at any time. In one of the great lines of romantic comedy moviedom, his friend says of a prior relationship "I was a 6, maybe a 7, but she was a hard ten .... I just couldn't beat the spread". The same is expected by Baruchel and the question becomes can he live with the fact that his girlfriend is much better looking (and successful) as him? Eve is great, Baruchel is great, his little ensemble of friends play well, including an old girlfriend reinterested in him given his success with Eve. There are the usual embarrassing scenes that are in every movie of this sort but I found this more intelligent and several steps above most of the entries in the American Pie/Porky's genre. Recommended as a light romantic comedy.

This was a good example of how fun a "formula movie" can be. It was a movie of how a guy goes after a hot girl, and his social inadequacies (which he is very aware of) get in the way. He can't compare himself to her, because he's still so awkward and working in a crappy airline security job (still feeling at the junior high geek stage), and she's this gorgeous girl. He keeps making the "5" to a "10" comparisons. She tries to be good to him. You know what's going to happen and how it's all going to turn out, but it's all fun and hilarious getting there.This is more about the guy getting the girl. It is about self esteem and trying to ask the girl out. This movie, when you look at the cover box and write-up, might seem like a raunchy comedy (which I'm certain was intentional), but it was much tamer than that. Don't expect to see something like Knocked Up or The 40-Year-Old Virgin. This was a terrific movie.*** out of ****

She's Out of My League is a romantic comedy film that stars Jay Baruchel and Alice Eve together with T.J. Miller,Nate Torrence,Krysten Ritter,Geoff Stults and Lindsay Sloane.The story is about an airport security guard that gets involved with a girl who's very obviously of a higher caliber than himself, and schemes to make the relationship last as his friends and family watch along in disbelief.It was written by Sean Anders and John Morris; and directed by Jim Field Smith.Kirk was languishing in a dead-end job as an airport security agent when he somehow managed to earn the affections of the successful and drop- dead gorgeous Molly. Even Kirk isn't exactly sure what Molly sees in him, though he's willing to do whatever it takes to make the relationship work. With his friends, family, and ex-girlfriend all watching stunned from the sidelines, Kirk discovers that he'll have to work overtime in order to convince Molly that he's worth hanging on to.The film is not insightful about anything more than a generic self- esteem boost for average looking dudes who dream of hot babes, but it's never not doing cartwheels to make you laugh.The story relies on the strength of the characters and effectiveness of the comedy to keep it going. Also,it is not a comedy classic but the ensemble manages to make this clichéd and formulaic story line looks original and refreshing.
