She's Out Of My League

I'm Reed Fish meets John Tucker Must Die meets Beauty And The Beast

This coming of age comedy (even though the main character is over 20) tackles the topic of self esteem and why listening to your friends is such a bad idea. In short, listen to your heart, not your friends.

Jay Baruchel stars as Kirk, an insecure airport worker with a disfunctional family and shallow, superficial friends. He's hung up on a former lover who is closer to his parents than he is, until he meets the gorgeous Molly. Quite by accident he stumbles across her phone, goes to return it to her, and thats where our story begins. When the two start dating, his friends and family are all in shock. Adding to the mix is Molly's handsome, successful, pilot ex-boyfriend who's determined to win her back. Kirk can't believe his luck, but things are never quite as they seem. His best friend classifies him as a 5, with Molly as a "hard 10." Kirk's unsupportive family only makes things worse. With so much on the line, our hero is faced with many choices with shocking and often hilarious results. This light hearted comedy is not a movie to be missed. Don't go looking for any moral value, but if you've got nothing better to do, give "She's Out Of My League" a spin.

5 Stars
