She’s Out of My League

[Preston1990]

I attended this mornings screening of She's out of my League at the Silverlink. Quite a few people turned up to see this which was quite surprising as it was the sunniest/warmest day the North East has seen for what seems like an eternity.

The film still had not started by 10 past 11, and there was a terrible noise being generated by the sound equipement. I had to go out and alert the cinema staff that there was a problem before the film was eventually set away properly. I was told that the film had been "skipping" - which apparently explained the dreadful random noises being generated as we sat there waiting for it to start. Anyway, enough of me saving the day , at last we were off.

I'd read a couple of middle of the road reviews about this film, so I was pleasantly surprised when I thought it was quite good. There was quite a liberal smattering of bad language, so if that kind of thing offends you it may not be to your taste. I thought it was a little overdone but was still within the bounds of acceptability.

I won't give the story away but there is one scene where the guy (Kirk - Jay Baruchel) meets the girl's (Molly - Alice Eve) parents for the first time which is very funny. There is also another outrageously funny but extremely cringeworthy bit where one of the guys male friends is assisting him with something in the bathroom .

The conversations between the guy and his mates when they are dishing out "how to succeed with girls" advice are terrific. In a way it was quite reminiscent of a lot of male bonding films I have seen recently (Hot Tub Time Machine, Hangover etc. etc.) There were great performances from Eve and Baruchel and some good supporting performances from Kirk's mates Stainer, Jack and Devon. Molly's friend Patty - Krysten Ritter was rather good and very easy on the eye too

Yes, In a nutshell it's your run of the mill predictable RomCom film where some fantastic looking and successful girl meets a geeky guy with an ordinary job and they kind of hit it off much to his, his family's, his ex-girlfriend's and all of his mates understandable disbelief - but it's OK for that nonetheless. It's easy watching stuff so put your brain in neutral and let it wash over you!

7 out of 10 from me.

Agree with Preston1990 - a not too demanding romcon with some LOL moments.

Not as many swear words as some recent films I've seen, thankfully. Thought Trevor and (?) (you know, the woman from Holby city or was it Casualty? Chrissy's mum) had no real depth to their parts as they were on screen for such a tiny amount of time, thought there could have been more about her side of the family.

Anyway, place was less than half full in Cardiff - all out in the centre.

I had a lovely day with a film, meal in Ask (thanks to the 2 can dine for £10 voucher), a walk to the river side and a lesson in how to make a good curry from shop keeper, - my world is complete.

I saw this this morning, thankfully the air con must have been on. There were quite a lot of empty seats, but not surprising with the nice sunny day!
I was also pleasantly surprised by the film. It was incredibly funny in parts, not a slushy rom com at all. It's a good one to take the husband/boyfriend too, as my husband also found it funny and normally complains about going to rom coms.
Thought the actor playing Kirk was great and his friends were also good.
I would recommend it.

Yes I got the same email and my tickets are for Sunday 30th May. Had to go and check my tickets as I thought I had made a mistake with the date and had missed it.

i spoke to SFF. They sent it out in error, so we can just ignore it.

Just seen this at a half empty cinema in Croydon.
Was pleasantly surprised at how funny it was. It wasn't too sentimental. It was in the similar vein to 40 year old virgin.
Would recommend this to others.8/10

Oh good grief, what rubbish. Clunky dialogue, gross-out jokes, unoriginal plot and just plain unfunny. What a bore.
