She's out of my League (2/4 stars)

"She's out of my League" (Rated R) features Kirk (Jay Baruchel: How to Train Your Dragon & Sorcerer's Apprentice) as an awkward man in his early 20's that still lives with his family. This and his down-in-the-mouth friends contribute to his very low self-esteem. He works as a TSA passenger screener that meets Molly, a very knock-out gorgeous blonde that inadvertently leaves her cell phone at the security check point. She calls to see who will pick up the line to see if someone can return it to her. Kirk answers the phone and arranges to return it to her. From here we get the predictable "fall in love, fall out of love/break up, make-up and fall back in love" story.


THE CLEAR PLAY EXPERIENCE
As predictable as the love story was I have a hard time calling this a comedy/romance, because the comedy movie is solely driven on crude dialogue in a humorous context - which ClearPlay did a nice job of skipping. However, because the vehicle that drives this story was skipped I didn't find this movie very funny at all, with one exception: where Kirk wears a read jacket and tie and is mistaken for the servers at a particular restaurant, wearing similar attire. Fortunately and unfortunately this site gag was all that I enjoyed.

I'm sorry I didn't find more humor in such a critically acclaimed movie, but I'm glad I didn't have to expose my self to sailor-type dialogue.


I give "She's out of my League" 2/4 stars. And with shields at maximum, this one has a common sense rating of PG-13, for a sensual scene where Kirk & Molly are in their underwear in a setting that obviously implies they are ready to have sex and other scenes that imply they have/had sex. All profanity/vulgarity was also skipped and/or muted.
