She's Out of My League: Movie Review
Rating: 6/10
Cast: Jay Baruchel, Alice Eve, TJ Miller, Nate Torrence
Director: Jim Field Smith
Jay Baruchel stars as Kirk, a weedy airport worker, whos downtrodden at work
and unlucky in love.
Suffering from low self esteem, Kirk is the kind of guy who reckons hell
never be a success in life or love.
Then, one day, this average Joe meets what his friends describe as a hard ten
Molly (Alice Eve all teeth and blonde hair as well as other noticeable assets).
Much to their surprise and Kirks the pair strike up a relationship.
But despite the best intentions, Kirk begins to fill with self doubt over why
Mollys with him and that along with the doubts from family and friends threaten
to sabotage their budding relationship.
Shes Out Of My League is a formulaic, sweet natured comedy with a few foul
rough edges and some awkward moments.
Jay Baruchel plays the neurotic, self destructive loser with low self esteem
issues with a lot of charm thanks to his gentle portrayal and recognisable
everyman, this film never lapses too far into self parody and keeps one foot
clearly in the charm camp.
Theres some laugh out loud moments which take you completely off guard and
both the likeable leads make this film work. Its also nice to see the raw
honesty of the relationship exposed and unlike most films of this genre, one of
Kirks friends actually spends time actively encouraging Kirk to believe in
himself and wills him to make it all work.
Shes Out
Of My League wont win any awards what it will give you though is a diverting
film for 100 minutes filled with unexpected laughs.
