My Movie Review: She's Out of my League

My Movie Review: She's Out of My League
3/5

Opening Statement: Jay Baruchel stars as Kurt a young airport security guard just getting out of a break up with an ex-girlfriend who is still a great family friend. During a security check  a young hot woman named Molly leaves her phone in security, once she meets Kurt she becomes interested, and Kurt can't find out why.


What's Good: Jay Baruchel is a very unique, charming young actor who did excellent in Sorcerer's Apprentice and voicing  Hiccup in How to Train Your Dragon. This movie is much much more raunchy, it is also very funny. She's Out of My League successfully balances the heart of a decent romantic comedy, and the comedy of an Apatow-esque film. Most of the jokes are a hit thanks to Baruchel's awkward sense of humor. It is a very situational comedy. I also enjoyed how in some scenes it seems Baruchel's friends  are more interested in his love life than their own, but that makes up in showing each of these characters actually had their own minor problems and heart warming solutions. The characters were very intriguing in that manner.


What's Bad: Unfortunately,  this raunchy humor doesn't hit hard enough to make the movie memorable. Which is sad because it is a lost cause. In fact this movie is brutally unmemorable. It just eases the craving for another Apatow hit.  The acting is below average in most scenairo's, the friend cast is like the JV of the Apatow group. It's almost like they try to be them, too hard. Baruchel is the best part but I think he works much better in Disney roles. 


The Rant: Nah.


Consensus: It doesn't achieve its goal with it's shot at Apatow-esque comedy, however it is very heart-warming and pretty funny for the most part. Baruchel is very charming as well.
