SHE’S OUT OF MY LEAGUE 3.0 (nearly 3.5***)

Hot chicks be warned, and you know who you are.. the ”9s” and “10s”: Over the next few weeks, you may find yourselves sought after by overconfident nerds/geeks who now believe that they have a chance of going out with you. Don’t worry; you haven’t suddenly gotten fat or ugly—or whatever it would take to bring you down to their level which is usually at least a “5”and which is rarely even even close to your league. It’s just that they’ve seen “She’s Out of My League”, and been given hope… probably fools’ gold.

When geeky airport security guard, Kirk (Jay Baruchel),accidentally meets gorgeous party planner Molly (Alice Eve), he knows that she’s way out of his league. His friends know it. Her friends know it. Even strangers who see them on the street know it. But apparently she doesn’t know it—or at least she doesn’t care. She’s been hurt by macho handsome, successful guys before, and a lovable loser like Kirk is just what she needs, someone safe and comfortable
The movie succeeds by not making Kirk a raging nerd, but rather as an everyman kind of guy who is nice, amusing and honest… something that most other guys can relate to. Also, as most guys know, many of the nicer really attractive women are ones who just don’t know how really attractive they are. Molly was written to embody that, and both leads are very likeable. Adding to the fun and who nearly steal the movie are Kirk’s friends, especially “Stainer”, whose combinations of good and bad advice set up some hilarious sequences. The movie does a good job of blending raunchy guy humor( and at times its really raunchy) with romantic comedy. The supporting cast works well as an ensemble, but the pairing of Baruchel and Eve yields charm, sizzle and genuine belly laughs. Baruchel's performance as the quirky geek is right on target, and Alice Eve's portrayal of Molly is a winning, winsome performance that will bring her a lot of attention..a future star in the making. This is one of those hilarious raunchy love stories that will, in my opinion, be a sleeper hit. I laughed…even hooted at times… throughout the whole movie and left the in a happy, jolly mood .
Now be forewarned that “She's Out of My League” is right up there with “The 40 Year Old Virgin” as a vulgar comedy and deservedly has a “R” rating for crude language and general raunchiness. But if you can get pass that, it is actually a sweet story with lots of heart and a barrel of laughs.
