Is this movie silly? Yes. Is it still a funny romantic comedy? Yes. There are some good jokes in it and the cast made it work.

Kirk (Jay Baruchel) is a geeky TSA agent working security at the Pittsburgh airport with his wacky friends. He's still under the thumb of his ex Marnie (Lindsay Sloane). Then he meet super hot Molly (Alice Eve). They start dating after he returns her phone, and nobody can figure out what she sees in him.There's no doubt that Alice Eve is super hot, and Jay Baruchel is a cute charming geeky nice guy. It's actually a pretty simple rom-com with likable people. I like the friends even more. T.J. Miller and Nate Torrence are especially hilarious. The constant referencing of the mismatch is actually more of a hindrance to a simple rom-com.

I remember when the reviews came out for She's Out Of My League that they were mostly lukewarm and that it was considered a poor Apatow knockoff. Those reviews were way off.This is a charming little movie. In addition to that, there's Alice Eve.The relationship amongst the guys in this movie felt natural. In addition to that, there's Alice Eve.Sure the main character's family was a little too wacky, but Alice Eve was in many of the scenes with them.I'll give this an 8 as it was a solid movie. Well worth your time. Move it up a few notches on your DVD queue. Maybe some of the jokes could have been funnier, but it fit the characters.Jay Baruchal is great as the guy for whom Alice Eve is out of his league.And Alice Eve is great, in case I didn't make that clear enough in the preceding paragraphs.
