She's Out Of My League (2010) ***1/2

We've all seen it before. "How in the hell did HE end up with HER?" discussion that comes up when a guy of minimal social skills and looks ends up with the 10. Molly (Alice Eve) is in double digit territory, while Kirk (Jay Baruchel) is lucky to be half that amount, but in a strange twist of fate and a lost phone Molly and Kirk end up together, much to the bewilderment of their friends and family.

Now before you think this is a romantic comedy I must warn you that this is comedy in the raunchy arena. There is a testicle shaving scene. Enough said. On the other hand, this isn't a one off raunchy fest like last years I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell, which was a fall flat, unfunny dud that tries to play off having a message. She's Out Of My League is dirty at times and it's sweet at other times. There's a message in there- Who gives a shit what other people think. If your happy with where you are and who you're with, then that's what it's all about.

This is one of those movies that couple will actually enjoy together. The ladies will like the love story aspects of the film and the guys will enjoy a nice bit about premature ejaculation. It's a win-win.
