Kirk (Jay Baruchel) 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 (Alice Eve).

It's got a stale premise, dumb jokes, [and] characters who exist only to remind you of other characters in slightly better movies.

Nothing would work, though, without the appealing Baruchel.

There are compensations, in Baruchel's performance and in Eve's too (now that's an ingenue's name).

The premise might work if the film were content to be a fairly undistinguished example of over-the-top gross-out comedy.

She's Out of My League doesn't answer the question of whether a 10 would go for a 5, but rather if audiences are willing to settle for a 5.

Director Jim Field Smith lifts his best beats from Judd Apatow, and his worst from American Pie.

It's not insightful or original about anything more than a generic self-esteem boost for goony 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. And for the most part it works.

She's Out Of My League might be the most important romantic comedy of the past twenty five years. If only it was funny enough to warrant such an accolade.

She's Out of My League is not big on originality, yet it scores points for addressing self esteem and body image issues amongst young males.

Tends to be off-putting, which is a shame, because it's on to something about the dynamic between put-together women and the legions of nervous men who shoot themselves in the feet while longing for them. [Blu-ray]

...has a few quality moments, and it doesn't default to the angry ugliness of so many fraternity-boy sexual comedies.

manages to strike a workable balance between the crass and the poignant, even if it sells some of its characters a bit short

A scenario ripped straight from a screenwriting computer program.

In spite of the profanities and vulgarities, the movie is basically a corny, old-fashioned, sentimental heart-tugger. (Blu-ray Edition)

Hops along no more than hopefully towards its inevitable conclusion that losers sometimes win.

A totally acceptable, completely forgettable romcom that will make you laugh a fair few times, before floating harmlessly out of your life.

One of my favorite comedies of the last few years, "She's out of My League" is also one of the most underrated. Great one liners, great characters, and an oddly believable relationship between Kirk(Jay Baruchel) and Molly(Alice Eve) make for a fantastic comedy. This is one of those movies I can watch over and over.

Funny at times and was better than I expected. Even if the ending was predictable it was hilarious and watchable. A must see!
