everything you have heard about this movie is true.
View Moreif their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
View MoreIf you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
View MoreThere is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
View MoreI lost track at how many times I laughed. I think I pulled a stomach muscle. What a good movie. Awesome writing! Feels good, like watching a John Hughes film.
View MoreBaruchel is somewhat nerdy airport employee who happens to help drop-dead gorgeous Eve in distress, after much support from his gang of airport friends he asks her out. He expects the hammer to fall at any time. In one of the great lines of romantic comedy moviedom, his friend says of a prior relationship "I was a 6, maybe a 7, but she was a hard ten .... I just couldn't beat the spread". The same is expected by Baruchel and the question becomes can he live with the fact that his girlfriend is much better looking (and successful) as him? Eve is great, Baruchel is great, his little ensemble of friends play well, including an old girlfriend reinterested in him given his success with Eve. There are the usual embarrassing scenes that are in every movie of this sort but I found this more intelligent and several steps above most of the entries in the American Pie/Porky's genre. Recommended as a light romantic comedy.
View MoreAdmittedly, just tuning in to find this perfect 10 on the screen held my attention. And then listening to the weedy Kirk played by Jay Baruchel made me like him a lot.Maybe my own experiences of having a perfect 10 (OK, 9+) made me want to see how the film ended, but there were some real laugh out loud moments too.And, of course, you knew there had to be a happy ending - which there was in more ways than one.Checking on IMDb to see what the rating was, I was surprised to see it was so low. I think at least 7.5 or 8 is about right. At least you'll feel good after watching it.So, enjoy this film. It is sweet and so is Alice Eve. Wow!
View MoreThis was a good example of how fun a "formula movie" can be. It was a movie of how a guy goes after a hot girl, and his social inadequacies (which he is very aware of) get in the way. He can't compare himself to her, because he's still so awkward and working in a crappy airline security job (still feeling at the junior high geek stage), and she's this gorgeous girl. He keeps making the "5" to a "10" comparisons. She tries to be good to him. You know what's going to happen and how it's all going to turn out, but it's all fun and hilarious getting there.This is more about the guy getting the girl. It is about self esteem and trying to ask the girl out. This movie, when you look at the cover box and write-up, might seem like a raunchy comedy (which I'm certain was intentional), but it was much tamer than that. Don't expect to see something like Knocked Up or The 40-Year-Old Virgin. This was a terrific movie.*** out of ****
