Movie Review: She's Out Of My League

Not a good movie. For starters, it’s a comedy and there are very few laughs. Unlike Superbad and Knocked Up, (movies it will be compared to), She’s Out of My League is strictly a one-joke movie and there are too many times when the one joke is not funny. Molly (Alice Eve), “a solid 10”, get’s romantically involved with Kirk (Jay Baruchel)," a solid 5". That’s the joke. The problem (other than it’s not that funny), she’s not a 10. She’s a 7. And we all have images of 10’s in our minds: Megan Fox, Halle Berry, Rachael Taylor, to name a few. You can see how this would present a problem. We overlook it if the movie is good. There are scenes where you will actually cringe because the script is so lame and the acting is so bad. Enough. Skip it.

p.s. Whoever came up with the term “moodle”, a man-poodle; very clever. But you see that bit in the trailer. By the way, I was very disappointed because I thought it had the potential to be cute. Baruchel, who appears to be rather one dimensional, can be funny and adorable in a 'Woody Allen' kind of way. But he needs better material. Woody is always working with supperior material.
