She's Out Of My League


So it's scary how much the main character in this movie reminds me of me. Some of the stuff he goes through and says it just like me(and no I don't mean blasting in my pants early, so don't even try and make that joke). I mean the main theme in this movie is one I can closely relate to.

The movie is about Kirk(Jay Baruchel, who is basically an older, more punkish with a squeeker voice, version of Michael Cera) who works at the Pittsburgh airport. He has been working there since he graduated high school and his dad spent his college money on a pool. He works there with his three friends Stainer(T.J. Miller), Jack(Mike Vogel) and Devon(Nate Torrence). One day Molly(Alice Eve) comes through security and forgets her phone which is collected by Kirk. When Kirk meets up with Molly to return her phone she asks him out on a date. When this happens Kirk's friends start to give him advice on what to do and begin to wonder how in the world someone that hot would go out with him. They keep telling him that somethings not right and how he shouldn't be with her. Kirk and Molly continue to go on dates and funny things happen. In the end it all works out, like always.

I liked this movie. It was funny enough. It wasn't a "Knocked Up" or "40 Year Old Virgin" but it was decent. It had a lot of cussing and like I said before that always helps me to like a movie. I thought that the funniest person in it was Kirk's best friend Stainer. His scenes were funny and the fact that he is in a Hall and Oats cover band is just awesome. Like in most movies like this the funny one is the sidekick or best friend. Now there was one part in this movie that grossed me out hard core, not in a way that made me dislike the movie, it was just real gross. You'll know what I mean if you see it, trust me. I would say if you like this type of what I call "reverse chick flick"(that's where it could be a chick flick but it tells the story from the guys point of view instead of the girls, which means there is going to be cussing and grosser things in it and less fellings) movie then you will like it. So go see it in theaters if you have some free time but most of you are better off just renting it. I give it a B.

Mission Statement

You know when a new movie comes out and everyone says its great you have to see it and then you go and find out it blows worse than having some homeless guy take a shit next to your car and then break into your car to use some clothes you left in there to wipe his ass. (Trust me it happens.) Well this blog is to make sure that this never happens to you.  I will try to give you my honest opinion and let you know whether the movie is worth seeing or not.  And if the movie really sucks I will try and give you enough ammo to make fun of it to other people who are dumb enough to like it.

"Get him to the Greek"?

Rating Scale

BK(Bee's Knees): This is primarily reserved for classics like "The Godfather" I don't see any new releases making this grade any time soon.

A: This is for a great movie that is destined for my dvd collection and would see multiple times in theaters. They have that extra something that stands out.

B: This is for movies that are better than just good but they lack that "X" factor. These are ones that you see in the store and are like oh shit I really liked this movie and I forgot about it but now I need to buy it.

C: This is for movies that are just alright. They are predictable, simple and fun to watch but you were a little disappointed when you saw them. You were like damn that movie could've been better, I'm disappointed now. However, you still might put them in your dvd collection if someone gives it to you.

D: This is for movies that just suck. They are either not what you thought they would be or you got tricked or forced into going to see. These are extremely predictable and serve little entertainment. You have no interest in seeing it again and if someone gave it to you, you would defiantly try and sell it for beer money.

SB(Sucks Balls): This category is for movies that just really suck balls. This one, like the BK category, most movies wont fall into but I still have it for movies like "A.I. Artificial Intelligence" remember that movie, man it really sucked balls.
