March isn’t the best times for movies. She’s out of my league was so bad. Although better than The Runaways, this one was simply flat, a type of boring.
Ok, Premise: loser guy gets a hot girl. Moral of the story is hotness is in the eye of the beholder and often a state of mind.
Now, we have these films in the past and liked them. Why is this one different?
It has a horrible supporting cast. Our hero played by Jay Baruchel, graduate from almost all Judd Apatow productions since ‘Undeclared,’ has no one to play off of. All the other characters are so blah and the situations aren’t all that interesting. He can’t play the lovable loser when every one is an even more content loser, he comes off as the alpha-male. The girl, Alice Eve, who looks a perfect Scandinavian beauty, has no personality. Alice is actually British, but most likely a descendant of the Viking invasions.
There is a Hall and Oates tribute band in the film, which makes me think there might be Hall and Oates renaissance, which is a little scary.
Krysten Ritter was the bitchy friend of the hot girl, but somehow I didn’t buy it. She seems too nice to be believable in that role. Was Cathy Griffin not available?
To be fair there were a few chuckles here and there but this one should be missed.
