Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: No, we still don't believe them as a couple. No, there aren't many surprises here. Read more
A.O. Scott, At the Movies: It's got a stale premise, dumb jokes, [and] characters who exist only to remind you of other characters in slightly better movies. Read more
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune: I laughed here and there at She's Out of My League, but I sort of hated everything it had to say about nerds and babes and the sliding scale of self-image. Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: The movie is convincing enough to give every Kirk in the world a semblance of hope. Every once in a while, love really is blind. Read more
James Rocchi, MSN Movies: By mixing the sweetness of "Say Anything" with the silliness of "There's Something About Mary," "She's Out of My League" works as well as it does thanks to a real sense of heart and a killer ensemble. Read more
Mike Hale, New York Times: The premise might work if the film were content to be a fairly undistinguished example of over-the-top gross-out comedy. Read more
Ted Fry, Seattle Times: This bad-mannered love story has a funny foul mouth with a few bright spots of charm. Read more
Sean O'Neal, AV Club: Though Baruchel does his best to ground the film in some vague semblance of identifiable reality, he's surrounded on all sides by human cartoons, each pushing bad advice or roping him into the next grotesque comic setpiece. Read more
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic: What elevates She's Out of My League -- it doesn't turn a 5 into a 10, but it helps -- is heart, of which its characters have a surprising plenty. Read more
Lucy Barber, Boston Globe: While Baruchel is fun to root for and watch flail about like a pipe-cleaner in the wind, this movie encourages a sick desire in me - to see Michael Cera and all the runners-up in the Mr. Puniverse Contest knocked down a peg... Read more
Cliff Doerksen, Chicago Reader: Director Jim Field Smith lifts his best beats from Judd Apatow, and his worst from American Pie. Read more
Joy Tipping, Dallas Morning News: The movie's terrific -- it's easily my favorite film released so far this year. Read more
Adam Graham, Detroit News: She's Out of My League doesn't answer the question of whether a 10 would go for a 5, but rather if audiences are willing to settle for a 5. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: [A] one-joke sub-Judd Apatow snark-athon... Read more
Laremy Legel, Film.com: The movie also does well to let the supporting characters carry the comedic load. Read more
Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times: Nothing would work, though, without the appealing Baruchel. Read more
Robert Wilonsky, L.A. Weekly: [T.J.] Miller's the find. He's out of this movie's league. Read more
Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News: There's barely a smirk in all of its padded hour and 45 minutes... Read more
Kyle Smith, New York Post: Scenes that should be grotesquely funny (man helps another man with his intimate grooming, or the appearance of a Hall & Oates cover band) deliver only chuckles rather than a big payoff. Read more
Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer: A diverting showcase for Baruchel and Eve, who are excellent arguments for the proposition that there's more to a person than looks. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: I'll say this: it's neither a "5" nor a "10," but somewhere in between. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: 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. Read more
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone: She's Out of My League is a rowdy blast because the spiky young cast treats the played-out script like virgin territory. That's acting! Read more
Walter V. Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle: The leads are better than the movie deserves. Baruchel is likable, and Eve comes off as somewhat more human than you expect in efforts like this. Read more
Joe Holleman, St. Louis Post-Dispatch: I laughed out loud a handful of times and chuckled on a regular basis. In the end, isn't that all we really want from those sweet, mindless comedies Hollywood continues to offer? Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: There are compensations, in Baruchel's performance and in Eve's too (now that's an ingenue's name). Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: We may know exactly where Kirk and Molly are headed -- he can't get over his good fortune and she can't abide being put on a pedestal -- but the movie keeps upending our expectations and provoking laughs. Read more
Anna Smith, Time Out: Like its hero, it has hidden depths -- it's just a shame they're not allowed to shine. Read more
John Anderson, Variety: This appealingly cast movie seesaws from unlikely thoughtfulness to imbecilic vulgarity. Read more
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post: 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. Read more
