She’s Out of My League

TSA inspector Kirk Kettner (Jay Baruchel) doesn’t think much of his fortunate opportunity to return a cell phone lost at the airport to Molly (Alice Eve), a beautiful, smart, and recently single woman. But, as the case may have it Molly is actually into Kirk; he’s down to earth, relaxed in himself, and not the slightest bit pretentious, he is however a bit quirky. Without much delay friends of the couple become concerned for each other’s well being since the two appear to be such an ill fit based on looks alone. This in mind and with many other outside forces pulling on their relationship the big question remains will the two stay together or will Kirk’s behavior and Molly’s other suitors sink the ship?shesoutofmyleagueposter

 Weak attempts at humor provide a few chuckles but overall this screenplay falls flat and is predictable at almost every turn. Furthermore, any conflict that is developed to keep the film interesting hardly seems legitimate or likely to cause real distress, even in the most superficial relationships now days. If a mind numbing and poorly scripted romantic comedy is your cup of tea, this will certainly fit the bill, fish on dear friend fish on. Maybe a rental but I’d still pass this one up. She’s Out of My League is rated R.
