SHE'S OUT OF MY LEAGUE
4 out of 5 stars

jack: you're a moodle.

kirk: a moodle?
jack: a man poodle. girls, they wanna take you out on a walk. they wanna feed you, they wanna cuddle you, but make no mistake, no girl wants to do the moodle.
stainer: NO ONE would EVER fuck a moodle.

OMG this movie is hilarious! the conversations between kirk (the main protagonist) and his work friends stainer (TSA security guard), jack (tarmac worker/plane mechanic) and devon (airline ticketing agent) are priceless... :P

kirk (jay baruchel AKA the sorcerer's apprentice) is just your average skinny white guy working as a TSA agent @ the pittsburgh intl airport. so when super-hottie molly (alice eve) boards a plane to JFK for an event-planning gig, kirk can't believe his eyes! molly accidentally leaves her iphone in one of those grey security bins, and kirk decides to return it to her when she gets back into town. she invites him to another event gig @ the andy warhol museum, and thus...sparks fly! (or, devon would say: when prince aladdin meets jasmine and the andy warhol museum is the palace...LOL!) things are going great for kirk and molly, except for the fact that all his friends as well as molly's friends think that their relationship won't work due to the fact that he's a 5 and she's a hard 10. but will that matter in the end? why don't you find out for yourself... ;)

the premise/story of this movie isn't all that complicated, but the script is very VERY well-written! A+ for the good screenwriting with interesting/humorous characters i.e. kirk, kirk's family, kirk's friends, and even molly is well-developed. kirk's family dynamic is CRAZY shit (OMG slap shot regatta!) but all the more humorous... however, i didn't really understand how/why marnie (kirk's ex) was a "part" of his family...? it looked like this one was shot on location, which adds "authenticity" to the story AKA the penguins game, the airport, the dates around pittsburgh, even down to the food! (AKA hamburgers served with french fries on top!) overall, GREAT movie and GREAT dialogue... ;)
