She's Out Of My League Review

Cast: Jay Baruchel, Alice Eve, Mike Vogel, Nate Torrence
Director: Jim Field Smith
Genre: Comedy, Romance
Rated: MA
Running Time: 105 minutes

Synopsis: Molly (Alice Eve) is a super sweet and gorgeous event planner, who is saved by awkward and scrawny airport security guard Kirk (Jay Baruchell) allowing her to catch her plane. Kirk then finds Molly's phone, which she has left behind at airport security. Molly calls the phone and invites Kirk to a party that she will attend on her return.

Kirk becomes head-over-heels in love with Molly but is brought back to earth when his friends explain his only rated as high as a '5' and Molly is definitely a '10'. Everybody knows you are only able to date a girl that is two above your own score. With Molly scoring a '10', Kirk is at least '3' points off winning Molly's heart.

Can an average Joe and a brainy blonde bombshell find true happiness together?

Verdict: When Kirk and Molly start dating no-one can believe it including Kirk and the audience. However, the clichéd hot-girl-meets-dorky-guy storyline makes for an excellent romantic comedy. She's Out Of My League is very funny; think American Pie meets There's Something About Mary- it is fresh, romantic and genuinely hilarious!

Watch out for the humiliating meeting of the parent's scene. Honestly I was laughing out loud most of the way through the movie and I could hear other audience members chuckling all around me. Isn't that all we ask of a romantic comedy? Leaving the cinema with stomach pains from all the laughing!

She's Out Of My League is a raunchy teen comedy which combines wild and extremely outrageous scenes that will have you laughing the whole way through. Expect tender moments of romance and a lot of laughs from likable characters. It would be hard to not like this movie!

Rating: ****
