She's out of my league (2010)

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.

Fanboys(2009)

Well worth the wait! Fanboys was suppose to be released in September then later in the fall. I am really not sure how long this movie has been pushed back. It's out now!

This is one of the greatest nerd movies of all-time. This is movie made for Star Wars fans by Star Wars fans. All general sci-fi fans can appreciate it this. I haven't laughed so much at the movies since Zach and Miri make a porno.

Fan Boys is a period piece; set circa 1999. The first new Star Wars movie has yet to be released. For four Star Wars geeks who have spent more time of their lives arguing Star Wars than Shakespeare there is no greater event in their mid-twenties of life. Except one of them is terminal Ill and will not live to see the new movie.

Our young rogues set out on a across country pilgrimage to nic a copy of the new Star Wars movie. Along the way, they battle Star Trek fans at the birthplace of Kirk, a pimp played by Seth Rogan. They run into Billy Dee Williams, Carrie Fisher, Jason Mewes, Kevin Smith,and many of the Judd Apatow crew. The movie stars Jay Baruchel ( Tropic Thunder, Nick and Norah's Infinite playlist, Undeclared, Knocked up) and Kirsten Bell (Forgetting Sarah Marshal). Let's not forget William Shatner, who can score anything.

When they do break into the Skywalker Ranch in Modesto California, they want into a Lucas Film fantasy film props from Star Wars and Indiana Jones. The best part is when they enter a room with Darth Vader, R2D2 and C3PO, Indi's hat, and other treasures. Well, before they the get caught. However, the guards who include the actor who played Darth Maul eventually let them go after administering a nerd test to see if they know more about Star Wars than they do about sex. They all pass.

The ends with the start of the Phantom Menace, when one remarks "What if it sucks?"

I can't imagine that all people will get this film. It would not surprise if many critics have trashed this film. Maybe because they are not nerds or maybe because they are Star Trek fans; who knows! Not everyone will get this joke when a doctor played by Carrie Fisher is kissed by one of our hero's who tells her that he loves her, and she responses with "I know." Not everyone will remember that Han Solo and Princess Leah interaction, but those people shouldn't be watching this film. For the rest of us,we'll laugh our off through out the film.
