When he starts dating drop-dead gorgeous Molly, insecure airport security agent Kirk can't believe it. As his friends and family share their doubts about the relationship lasting, Kirk does everything he can to avoid losing Molly forever.
A mixed-bag romantic comedy that lands somewhere between charming and crude — critics couldn't agree on whether its genuine sweetness redeems the raunchier, more cartoonish elements or gets buried by them. Audiences were warmer than critics, suggesting the film's likability plays better when you're not scrutinizing its construction.
“The movie is not a comedy classic. But in a genre where so many movies struggle to lift themselves from zero to one, it's about, oh, a six point five.”
Roger Ebert·Chicago Sun-Times
“This R-rated blend of the sweet and the raunchy has its heart in the right place.”
Peter Travers·Rolling Stone
“The movie clearly aspires to rise to the smutty-but-sweet synergy of other, better films. But She's Out of My League can't touch them.”
