She's out of my League... Xan's Movie Rating (XMR)

Hello there people of blogspot! as you've all known, recently there's a movie entitled "Shes out of my League" that had just been shown in theaters recently, and i was able to see it (even though im alone... ^^) anyway, the trip to the movie house was a bit harsh (due to traffic and gettin a bit delayed.... long story short got a bit lost >.<) but made it otherwise to see it on time...

was there and noticed alot of people who were watchin it seemed to be the same couple as shown in the movie (oddly enough)... for those of you peeps who dont know what the movie is all about, i shall give a brief synopsis without ruining it for those peeps who want to watch it =P

The story is very straightforward. its about an ordinary guy, with an ordinary job, which by fate, happens to meet this very attractive girl, who happens to befriend him, and eventually likes him. story goes on and on between the two people, one tryin so hard to know the reason why the girl is so into him, and the girl who is just fascinated by the guy, but didnt know why. Story continues, with some perverted jokes and sexual humor added, until they both fall in love. the end =)
(p.s. alot more happened, but couldnt state it here for potential moviegoers)


ohh heres a more detailed plot (straight from wikipedia, no credit to me here)

>Kirk (Jay Baruchel) works at the Pittsburgh airport as a Transportation Security Administration officer and has very few goals in life other than trying to get back together with his evil ex-girlfriend Marnie (Lindsay Sloane). Then he meets smart, sexy, charming Molly (Alice Eve) and, contrary to all expectations, starts dating her. But his initial excitement turns to panic as his insecurities and the advice of family and friends threaten to ruin the relationship. Even Kirk isn't exactly sure what Molly sees in him, though he's willing to do whatever it takes to make the relationship work. With his friends, family, and ex-girlfriend all watching stunned from the sidelines, Kirk discovers that he'll have to work overtime in order to convince Molly that he's worth hanging on to.

ok movie rating time! hmm at first, was eager to see it due to i can somewhat relate to the movie (not that i compare myself to the guy, but i do know what it feels like to like, and be liked... also to be paired with someone whom you wouldnt expect at all.) but after i saw the movie... i noticed some minor details that caught my eye..

1. To much airport scenes. Yup, imho (im my humble opinion) i think they are tryin to get most of that specific airport, or to promote it. they shown the entire building, from the parking entrance, to the runway, all the way to the security and so forth (you get the drift). For my taste, it was kinda too much O.o

2. The perverted humor and some *scenes (omitted the term, you guys know what im tryin to say here right?). I guess thats why they gave this movie "R" rating... it is including some crude humor and adult material that it may cause some heads turning (for better or worse) but as an adult, its fine by me (due to i have seen worse movies in conjunction to the topic)

3. Actor (played by jay baruchel) he's a great actor. Frankly speaking, but if your gonna get a "loser" type guy, then he may not be the perfect "loser". imo, he can pass as a regular guy, physique wise. maybe the way he acted in the movie gave it away, but honestly, they could get someone else to actually look like a loser type material, if thats what they are goin for anyway (the reason im thinking they got him is because he's in the rise, plus maybe the actress likes him to play the part. idk O_O just some random guesses) anyway he played the role perfectly, and i liked his freshness on the scenes. its just my opnion towards the director if they are tryin to imploy the "guy" to be incompatible with the girl, they could have settled for a less "normal" guy. or so to speak :P

ok for the upsides!

1. love the friend combo! so random guys, so unique, and so realistic! the way they use those 3 guys, their attitude and appearance made it believable that they are normal "bestfriends" peeps. plus, they add comedic scenes to the main actor, which brings out the realisticness of the plot. kudos for this one

2. Actress (played by Alice Eve). No words needed. Just pure admiration and silence. No questions asked =))

3. Actor (played by Jay Baruchel). like i said from the top, hes a great actor imo and gives freshness to the scene. gave another kudos for his line-delivering technique hehehe

Final verdict time: ok this would be my first attempt in rating movies, so for future reference, i would show what my categories are:

max stars = 5

1 - ingenuity and depth of plot/screenplay/storyline
1 - actors/actresses portrayal of roles
1 - cinematography (includes special effects and other cgi stuff)
1 - movie suited for the genre it was shown for (like e.g. comedy for comedy, action for action, etc.)
1 - personal score liking (comments added here if needed)


ok after stating my categories.... Xan's Movie Rating (XMR for short) for the movie "She's Out Of My League" would be a 3 out of 5 stars. -1 for cinematography and -1 for depth of plot. But i personally liked it ^_~
