He's a five, the movie's maybe a six

Lead Jay Baruchel takes his experience with Judd Apatow awkwardness and applies it to a movie not far out of his comfort zone.

"She's Out of My League" hits somewhere between "40-Year Old Virgin" and "Hitch," with the latter film being the better comparison. This tale of “5”s and “10”s coming together will inspire those that believed the message of Will Smith and anger those who disagreed Kevin James could bag a supermodel.

The supporting cast hits the right notes without doing anything to make it stand out. If you devote large dialogues block to letting characters improv, it helps to have a solid group of comedians. Arguably the best one, T.J. Miller, gets by on doing a "Jason Lee from 'Mallrats'" impression.

The chemistry between the two leads is lacking, due more to ever getting to see why these two are good together. It’s an enjoyable film, but will be liked more by lonely romantic guys than couples on date night.
