Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

db-beurylaw I feel compelled to write a review after reading some reviews that stated that this film could never happen in real life. This film is pretty much my life story. Kirk is an average looking guy who works at TSA at the airport. He meets Molly who is a beautiful lawyer who chooses to be a caterer. Twenty years ago, while working as a public defender I met the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Blonde hair and blue eyes, the whole package. She was clearly a" hard 10", and I was seriously a" soft 6". Worse she was 25 and I was 42. She worked in catering, although today she works at TSA. She asked me out several times, just like Molly asked out Kirk. Like Kirk I did not believe this was a relationship, or if it was a relationship, it was not going to last. Like Kirk's co-workers they questioned her motives and the reality of him dating an amazing woman. One of my co-workers said, "I am no where near as pretty as her, and I would never go out with you." Ouch! I got the nickname of "Carlo Ponti". If you do not know who Carlo Ponti was, look him up on the IMDB. When we went places together, my friends would ask "Why is she here?" Other men would hit on her, while we were holding hands! So many scenes are reminiscent of my courtship with this awesome woman. Especially the scene where Kirk takes Molly home to meet his father. My father just blurted out, "She's so beautiful!". I empathize what Kirk was going through as the insecurity was over-whelming. So twenty years later, we're still together. So I give this movie a 9. I do not give out "9s" lightly. I give it a 9 for realism. Ha! This is an above average rom-com. If they would have asked me I could have given them a lot of ideas. Being average and dating beauty is a real challenge. I do have some criticisms: The point of the movie is that Alice Eve is such a rare beauty that it creates problems for a regular guy. There is a scene at the Hockey game where Kirk believes that Molly is setting him up with her girlfriend, played by Kristen Ritter. Kirk can't believe Molly is interested in him, but he's Ok with Kristen Ritter? Ritter is a hard 10 as well. I love Ritter but casting an equally attractive woman ruins that scene and undermines the plot. Even worse Lindsey Sloane is cast as Kirk's ex-girlfriend and the plot is she is supposed to be so unattractive that the idea that she is not wearing underwear is cause for guys to lose their appetite. But Sloane is attractive, maybe not a 10, but the actress would turn heads in any bar in America. The casting director is afraid to cast average looking women even when that is what the plot calls for. This is a common problem in light comedies. The casting director wants to attract fans with an array of eye candy. But this works against the plot. How many times have you seen the "nerd character" played by a stud?

CANpatbuck3664 It would have been really easy to miss this movie. You tend to get a few different romantic comedies a year and most of them filter into static. Unless you're a really big fan of the genre, for me at least (romantic comedies are fine but they aren't my genre of choice) they go in one ear and out the other. Every so often one seems to stick (Morning Glory, About Last Night and Definitely Maybe would be my other picks from the last few years) and this was one of those movies for me. Some funny dialogue, characters that you can relate to and a genuinely sweet relationship go a long way and that's why I'm coming back to review this movie *Minor Spoilers Ahead* We join Kirk (Jay Baruchel) as he's rehearsing a speech to try and convince his ex-girlfriend Marnie (Lindsay Sloane) to get back together with him. Instead of being supportive, his group of friends: Stainer (T.J. Miller), Mike Vogel (Jack) and Devon (Nate Torrence) take turns roasting him on why it's a terrible idea. They mock Kirk for being unattractive and try to tell him getting back together is a mistake. Kirk's lonely since their breakup however and brushes his friends off as being resentful because they weren't big fans of MarnieThe movie flashes ahead to Kirk actually giving Marnie the speech and a crappy piece of jewellery. To Kirk's horror she not only turns him down but refuses to leave because she's grown attached to Kirk's family. She's got a new boyfriend who also hangs around Ron (Hayes MacArthur) and it turns out minus his mom (Debra Jo Rupp), his entire family are a bunch of jerks.Kirk heads off to work at the airport as TSA and a beautiful woman walks in. Her name is Molly (Alice Eve) and everyone starts to stare when she passes by. Despite her friendly demeanour she gets some unwanted attention from Kirk's boss. Kirk helps her out and gets her on her way. Once she boards she realizes she left her phone back in security. Kirk answers her call from her friend's phone and she promises to meet up with him once she gets back from her trip.If you read the plot summary, it seems pretty average. I would agree with that criticism but the characters pick up the slack. I found it easy to identify with Kirk, he's stuck in a dead end job and he wants more but he's just as confused as the audience when this beautiful woman pays attention to him. He's an average guy but he's also easy to root for. Molly is also a great character, you find out she has her own motivations for being interested in Kirk but she's impressive inside and out. She's cool and she's not shallow at all and she and Kirk are good for each other. The side characters like Stainer and Devon don't have much development but they're there more for the comedy than to add to the plot. I also think that the movie comes to a nice conclusion, sure it has the feel good aspect but they keep it funny and it achieves a good balance. She's Out of My League has a good message as well, it's nothing new but it has some relevance today about how the important thing is being self-confident and not underestimating your chances and who you are.Most comedies rely a lot on ad-libbing but they can't hold up over the course of the movie. I found that this movie did excel in that area. Having some great comedians like Jay Baruchel and T.J. Miller pay off for the movie, the dialogue whether it was scripted or not was hilarious. Comedy is subjective and there is some stuff here that won't work for everyone (there's some gross out humour but they don't overdo it) but I've seen this movie more than a few times and I laugh a lot every single viewing.When I talk about the cast, I look back on this movie and I struggle to see why this movie didn't lead to bigger things for the bigger stars of She's Out of My League. T.J. Miller is on Silicon Valley and Krysten Ritter is the star of Jessica Jones and they're both pretty good here. I think this movie shows that Jay Baruchel can carry a comedy by himself. He's often hanging out with Seth Rogen and the gang (This is the End is a crazy funny comedy) but he does a solid job as the lead in this movie. I also think that Alice Eve shines here, much like Margot Robbie or Emma Stone she's gorgeous but she shows a lot of charisma and she's funny in certain scenes. She might not be on their level but there are shades of that here. I would have thought she'd be grabbing higher profile projects but I can't imagine that most people would walk away with bad things to say after watching this movie. Lindsay Sloane is also a riot, she bounces off Baruchel and Miller really well and completely holds her own.I would never claim that this movie is a landmark in cinema or that it reinvents the romantic comedy genre but for me it's a really funny movie with a sweet enough relationship at the centre of it. I like the characters, the jokes, the actors/actresses and it's held up pretty well after multiple viewings. I can't ask for much more than that and if you're in the mood for something like this, it's definitely worth a watch.

Python Hyena She's Out of My League (2010): Dir: Jim Field Smith/ Cast: Jay Baruchel, Alice Eve, T.J. Miller, Mike Vogel, Lindsay Sloane: Comedy that examines the attitude when it comes to physical attractiveness. Jay Baruchel plays an airline security guard who retrieves the cell phone of gorgeous Alice Eve who misplaced it. To his bewilderment they hook up and everyone speculates regarding why she would hook up with him. Director Jim Field Smith does his best with the cliché ridden script. He asks the right questions regarding the opinions of others when it comes to relationships but the delivery is far from a perfect ten. Problem is that Baruchel and Eve lack chemistry. His character may be awkward but he is also unsympathetic. A scene where her parents walk in on them having sex could have been funny but instead it leaves him looking like a moron. She is great eye candy but needs more than just a slapped on event planner job. Eve is truly fetching to the eyes but that is the height of her performance here. T.J. Miller and Mike Vogel also appear as his friends of bad advice. They observe and form obnoxious opinions as to why he is not right for her and that the laws of attractiveness are being violated. Lindsay Sloane plays Baruchel's ex-girlfriend who split likely so to avoid being in the rest of the film. Its theme is right on with these arguments but the couple here just isn't believable. This film is out of its league when being compared to real romantic comedies with real feeling. The couple featured here is about as compatible as comparing this film to Casablanca. Score: 4 / 10

gorgonite She's Out Of My League is a slightly over the top romantic comedy with a big heart.An hour into the film I looked at my watch! That however is a good thing because I didn't want it to end. Then 3/4 into it the inevitable happened, the obligatory boy loses girl.So really it should be a solid 7 or 8/10. However instead of a tacked on ending, we get to enjoy a great finale which turns it right round.The main characters are a rather weak looking and pathetically 'nice' Jay Baruchel with a rather pretty and adorable Alice Eve. Supporting Jay are a motley crew of pals who try their best to remote control him and get the girl who is most definitely out of his league!Supporting Alice is the straight talking Krysten Ritter, who doesn't have much to work with but sparkles. The same also applies to Nate Torrence who was great!Jay and his crew work in airport security whilst Alice is a party planner who is frisked through by Jay. Chaos and order ensues!Pros - Sweet, Funny, Rude, BootlaceCons - Too short!Overall - 11 out of 10
