Review of She's Out of My League (2010) by Jenn F — 26 May 2011

An high 60, nonetheless.

Here's a plain simple plot: a nerdy and awkward guy starts dating a beautiful girl. By reading this premise, you might think from the start that this is not a great movie. And you're right. Not even close of one.

Too many things in this movie didn't work for me. However, what worked, worked quite well.

The premise didn't help. It's harmless but not very engaging. In fact, all the movie is like this, not totally engaging. it is enjoyable but, you watched it and wish it was so much better.

I don't know if anyone who saw this has the same opinion, but am I the only one who disliked Jay Baruchel's performance? I mean, he is funny as hell in "Knocked Up". In this one he is a boring character. I am not even saying about being a typical one, but I found it boring most of the time. He acts good in the more emotional scenes but not very funny ( as the rest of the film.).

. The characters are really dum and, while not being terrible or anything, I did not enjoy that much these characters. They are generic and pretty much unfunny, which is a shame. The only character I can say it was entertaining was T.J Miller as Stainer. He was pretty cool.

It is a fun movie but maybe the thing it disappoints the most is the fact that it doesn't bring us nothing new. The plot is not really anything spectacular and it is fairly predictable However there's a reason I can say this is a fine movie. The final 10, 15 minutes of this movie are really good.They have the best jokes, the best lines and the best scenes, even if it ends in a predictable way. It was what made me liking more. They did not just explore him being a 5 and she a perfect 10, they reached a conclusion and did not leave it like that.

Some jokes are good and it does makes you free some laughs. It is just unfortunate that it doesn't do that a little better. Still, I am glad I watched it and it was a fine experience.
