She's Out of My League

Rating: 6.8/10

Genre: Romantic Comedy
Overall value for time and money: 6.5/10

Though seemingly far-fetched, the movie does touch on a few solemn and reflecting issues on us guys. Not sure how true it applies to all average joes, but what I do know is that whenever we get into relationships, most people will think they are not good enough for the other party. And this movie addresses just that.

A less than attractive skinny but kind hearted young lad manages to hook up with an almost perfect girl... only to have their relationship compromised but his low self-esteem and those around him. That's about all you need to know about the movie because there are no twists in the movie or any changes in plot development later in the film.

The jokes are not that fantastic, pretty cold, lame and dirty at times, but it still delivers a good tickle, slightly better than the movie in my previous post, the tooth fairy. But don't expect too much out of it. It's not super funny, or super thought provoking. Kinda like a guy flick movie which gives hope to all average joes out there that someday, maybe some fine day they might get their lucky break.

It's quite the "Hope" film but still shouldn't be overlooked because of its lack of realism (not particularly referring to the fact that an average joe can hook up with a perfect girl but the way the plot unfolded and the things his friends did for him etc.). Worth a go at this popcorn movie only if you love light hearted movies and don't mind sitting through 1h 40 mins for a movie with a highly predictable storyline.
