Summary: When he starts dating drop-dead gorgeous Molly (Alice Eve), insecure airport security agent Kirk (Jay Baruchel) can't believe it. As his friends and family share their doubts about the relationship lasting, Kirk does everything he can to avoid losing Molly forever.
Not bad. Enjoyed it quite a bit. The "change of gears" aspect was a bit off and forced, but other than that, it was a modest and enjoyable rom-com with a pretty good moral attached.
Baruchel leverages his quirky charisma to make you forget how little this film strays from its genre's formula. The lines weren't particularly witty, but they were, for the most part, delivered with a passion that exceeded their value, and I ended up enjoying the film for what it was. Just don't make the mistake of expecting anything extraordinary.
I like movies where the geek gets the girl, but it doesn't work so well here. Jay Baruchel's character is TOO awkward & wimpy, and isn't nearly as funny or endearing as all the other characters keep saying he is. It's not unbelievable because he's less attractive than Alice Eve; it's unbelievable because his personality is blander than old cardboard (whereas hers is great.) There are some funny moments (mostly provided by T.J. Miller), but not as many as there should be.
Sometimes attractive people go out with less attractive people. Sometimes it isn't because of money, but because of personality. Hollywood believes in you. Go get that ultrahot partner you don't deserve, but you do deserve.
There are about 4 minutes of generally funny stuff that occur on screen, and the rest is bullshit. It tries to be like Knocked Up, but it switches the girl being pregnant to the guy having low self-esteem. The story itself would never happen like this, ever. The characters are shallow and their dialogue is usually unrealistic and terrible. It's cliche and has one of the most predictable endings in movie history. Only watch if your girlfriend/fiance/wife is making you.
I watched this movie solely because T.J. Miller is in it, and he did not disappoint me. Sadly, everything else did. The premise is too flimsy to really sustain interest and the script is devoid of characterization. Baruchel is a good actor, but given little to work with here he just goes into awkward overdrive. Also, maybe it's me, but Alice Eve just isn't as hot as this movie keeps telling me she is. As a hockey fan, this serves as a nice historical record of how bad the New York Islanders are.
J.Baruchel was annoying back in 'Undeclared' and hasn't changed much since, and he isn't believable as the male lead.
The whole family-plot is just stupid, and not in a funny way.
TJ.Miller and AliceE repair some of it, and there are some nice moments when they stay away from that family-crap. *Preview*: #12#, popcorn, rewatch(2) }*{ #10#, popcorn, story, Alice E.
Sure, "She's Out of My League" is littered with a few lame situations that attempt to create tension between its mismatched couple-to-be. But these failed attempts are easily overlooked by an adorable lead (Jay Baruchel) and a sugary-sweet supporting cast that should have most viewers grinning from beginning to end. If you're looking for a fun, light-hearted comedy. . , this one is for you!
Sunday school morals along with cock and ball jokes? Who did they think was the audience yearning nuns? The story has no conflict for the first hour of the film, then a little laughable (in a bad way) conflict emerges and is cleared up in a totally predictable manor.
It's not a very good movie, what with following pretty tired plot cliches and being filled with a lot of dumb dialogue. But sometimes stupid movies can be fun, and this is one of those times. All the actors are just right for their parts and in general the great delivery and little touches make up for the mediocrity of the material. I also appreciate that it didn't linger on the "misunderstanding separates the leads," even if it did use the tired trope. I shouldn't have liked it, but I did.
A pretty cliche story with some stock characters, but Baruchel, Eve and Miller are exceptionally charming. Like 40 Year Old Virgin or Knocked Up, the film has a great deal of yucks (mostly in the latter half), but it's not overtly mean spirited and the writers are smart enough to include a great deal of tenderness.
Middle of the road. Neither better nor particularly worse than the average entry in a genre not only infested with but often constituted by clichés. This is no exception but Eve and Baruchel do alright.
This movie has a really bad script. The whole movie is really predictable and the characters are one dimensional. Jay Baruchel's performance is fine but the story has been done numerous times before. Take a pass on this one.
Way better and funnier than expected. It's a perfect little comedy to catch some dull night on cable. Earnest performances from the entire cast help elevate this past its derivative script and repetitive storyline. It may be underwritten in spots but it's silly and fun, and that's just what was needed.
T.J Miller was probably the best part of this movie, and even then he's a poor man's Jason Lee from Chasing Amy. Jay Baruchel is the nice guy, but he's still tough to root for. He's not charming, and there's never any sense that he's *not* going to end up with Alice Eve in the end. His shitty family just comes off as annoying instead of weird and quirky, and I didn't care about any of them (I do love Debra Jo Rupp in anything though). It's ok, but just see Chasing Amy instead. Is that bad?
