Rather than this high-concept and very likely profitable affair, I'd rather see a lower-concept comedy about two people who can't be pigeonholed quite so easily.MPAA rating:R (for language and sexual content)Cast:Jay Baruchel (Kirk); Alice Eve (Molly); T.J. Miller (Stainer); Mike Vogel (Jack); Nate Torrence (Devon); Lindsay Sloane (Marnie)Credits:Directed by Jim Field Smith; written by Sean Anders and John Morris; produced by Jimmy Miller and David Householter. That includes Kirk splooging in his pants at Molly's first touch and the decision to have Devon shave Kirk's pubes (how is that not gay?) Jay Baruchel, the skinny Canadian actor who scored in Tropic Thunder, is appealingly funny as Kirk Kettner, a dweeb working Pittsburgh airport security (a job Hollywood hasn't yet exhausted). Molly (Alice Eve), who's gorgeous, pert, shapely, intelligent, and free of any nasty or judgmental thoughts, is like Ann-Margret playing a very liberal nun.
– You could do better than She’s Out of My League, the latest romantic comedy about a hot girl dating a dweeb. But some critics give it a passing grade. Here’s what they’re saying. “If you're hungry to see a romantic comedy that makes Knocked Up look like the quintessence of plausible human mating, then by all means subject yourself” to this “one-joke sub-Judd Apatow snark-athon,” writes Owen Gleiberman of EW. There’s simply nothing remotely datable about Jay Baruchel’s male lead. “I laughed here and there,” says Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune. “But I kind of hated everything it had to say.” Alice Eve’s character in particular is just a male fantasy. “If this were "Alice in Wonderland," she'd be the Cheshire Cleavage.” But Roger Ebert liked it OK. “It’s not a comedy classic,” he admits. “But in a genre where so many movies struggle to lift themselves from zero to one, it's about, oh, a six point five.” Peter Travers of Rolling Stone agrees. Sure, you’ve seen this a hundred times before, but “the spiky young cast treats the played-out script like virgin territory. That’s acting!”
