She's Out My League

In fairness, I liked the movie. A simple and straightforward movie. I totally love all the bluntness and crude humour. Yes it is a low budget movie but it is way better than the other chick flicks coming out in theaters lately. The movie stars Jay Baruchel as Kirk. In this movie, Kirk has low self-esteem and is an under-achiever. He met Molly (Alice Eve) and starts dating her. Molly is the opposite of Kirk in that she's got a great job, a great place to live and connections all over Pittsburgh. Hilarity ensues when the two start to get serious and each person's insecurities come to the forefront. Conflict begins when jay felt insecure about himself being with Molly. Personally, I really hate this "hard 10 factor". The hard 10 factor plays a part in this film judging people solely based on their looks, there are a number of times this is used wherein Kirk is considered a 5 by his friends from the start. Molly is considered a hard 10 and the physically ideal woman. Sure it has a few scenes like this, but underneath it all there was a romantic story with lots of well delivered dialogue. I think this film will appeal to many as it has something in it for everyone to enjoy. This film may inspire some 5’s out there to chase after the 10’s. It was a pretty down to earth film and fairly realistic in some ways to the modern day lifestyle. I’d say that the movie is quite vulgar nevertheless, it made me laugh and it made my day. The movie has a few laughs here & there. One lesson to take from this movie - Don't listen to your peers, they can be very wrong sometimes and be confident in yourself. None of us is perfect. When you met some one who is worth to be with, then you found the precious and the "perfect 10" for yourself. Well basically it's all about acceptance of the other person and especially yourself. If you are confident enough about your self, then there is nothing else to it. It's not about changing one person's flaws, but to accept them as who they are. I still hate those guys who rate the woman though. Here's the trailer. I recommend this if you're up to a nice feel good rom-com movie.
