This week’s movie reviews take a look at the romantic comedy She’s out of my league, starring Jay Baruchel (Tropic Thunder) as Kirk, and the stunning Alice Eve (Crossing Over) with a flawless American accent, just as she was with a flawless Australian accent. in Crossing Over, even though she is British) as Molly.
We join the film when Kirk and his best friends, Stainer played by TJ Miller (Get Him to the Greek), Jack played by Mike Vogel (Miami Medical) and Devon played by Nate Torrence, are at an airport discussing Kirk’s breakup. with his girlfriend Marnie played by Lindsay Sloane (Entourage), one of them mentions that the only way to win her back is to date other people and let her know that he is seeing other people so she will be jealous. They all work at the airport, with the four boys serving as aviation attendants. A beautiful dead girl walks by and catches everyone’s attention, including Kirk. She leaves her phone behind when she boards the plane, and when she calls her number through her friend’s phone to find out where her phone is, Kirk answers, reminding her who she is and, Of course, Kirk hasn’t forgotten her. He then tells her to meet her at a party he’s throwing (as he throws parties) so he can return her phone to him. Upon meeting her, she tells him that she has four tickets to a hockey game and invites him and a friend, when Kirk returns to her friends and tells them about her and that she has invited him to a game, they guess. it’s a date, and everyone is incredibly surprised, if not a little jealous, which Kirk is reluctant to believe, claiming that she’s out of her league. Kirk’s friend group even engages in an intellectual debate about guys dating girls who are out of his league, even comparing King Kong and Naomi Watts.
After the game, Kirk invites Molly to meet his family (she asked and he couldn’t refuse), where a hilarious scene occurs, as some members of Kirk’s family are in a pool and are surprised by the pretty girl. that Kirk has brought. with him, they ask her to join them in the pool, she says she would but she didn’t bring a bathing suit, they mention that underwear would be fine, but she says it would be if she was wearing something.
Kirk somehow has to convince his friends and, more importantly, himself that maybe he’s good enough for her, despite his ex, Cam, played by Geoff Stults, trying to win her back.
Soon it’s Kirk’s turn to meet Molly’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. McCleish, who are surprisingly played by Alice’s real-life parents Trevor Eve and Sharon Maughan, there’s a hilarious sequence where Kirk gets refuses to shake hands with Molly’s father due to an embarrassing incident, which Molly’s best friend Patty, played by the lovely Krysten Ritter (What Happens in Vegas), suggests she should leave him, since she’s only dating him because she sees him as safe and someone who won’t break her heart.
She’s Out of My Deals is a good rom-com with excellent acting from all sides.
