FotN • She's Out of My League

a visual orgy :: night at the movies


Wait... Rated R? Where are the titties?!
I completely stand by my italicized statement. This movie has all the makings of a "Rated R" teenage sex comedy. But, unlike every other flick from the category, it completely lacks said nudity. I saw Crossing Over [nsfw]. I know Alice has glorious mammary glands, damn it. But whatever. That's Ms. Scarlet talking.

This movie follows the life of a certain airport security fellow named Kirk [Jay Baruchel] who just so happens to help out this amazingly beautiful wedding planner named Molly [Alice Eve] when she misplaces her mobile while getting on a flight. As a reward for his finding her lost source of contact, she does the nasty to him in every dirty way in an hour long porn scene. Erm, I mean, she invites him to a high class party of sorts. Yeah. That's what happened.

She ends up falling for the lad because he's "different" than all the other douches she's dated in the past [see: safe]. Antics ensue throughout the film, bullshit occurs, then he fights for her back, and the movie ends with the usual feel-good finish. Blah, blah, blah.

However, what really killed the flick for me, and reduced its overall rating, was the fact that his family consists of basically the worst group of assholes conceivable just short of blatant ridiculous prejudice. This horrid collection of individuals really makes one wonder why Kirk hasn't snapped yet and smothered these bastards in their sleep. Surprisingly enough, Molly stomachs their foul behavior when they meet, though that adds to her being probably the best girl in existence. A 'hard 10', indeed.

Another 'hard 10'? Kirk's friend Devon [Nate Torrence]. This endearing buddy was so supportive of Kirk from the beginning, constantly helping him through his confusion on why he, a '5', was with this amazing '10'. Hell, he even shaved his balls for him [totally not gay]! Now that is friendship. Then again, I love seeing Torrence in any role he plays. His awkward, innocent hilarity makes you want to do nothing but like him. A fantastic counter to the complete dicks that populate the rest of the folks around the primary actors.

In the end, though, I have to give the a Matinee viewing at best. It's a decent view, but not something worth full price. There have been far too many films done in the same way in the past, and there isn't enough originality to give it that oomph ahead of the rest.

I did learn that all dogs love semen, though...
