Twenty-something Kirk Kettner (Jay Baruchel) works as a TSA agent at the Pittsburgh airport. He still hangs out with his high school buddies and co-workers, Jack (Mike Vogel), Stainer (T.J. Miller) and Devon (Nate Torrence) and imagines of getting back together with his ex-girlfriend, Marnie (Lindsay Sloane), who has long since moved on. All in all, Kirk seems content to simply maintain the status quo - until the day Molly (Alice Eve) sashays through his security checkpoint at the airport and accidentally leaves her cell phone behind. Molly is smart, sophisticated, devastatingly beautiful - and completely out of Kirk’s league. When Kirk returns the phone as a courtesy, she offers to repay the favor with a pair of hockey game tickets, and he accepts, never thinking for one second that this dream girl is asking him out on a date. The pair couldn’t seem less suited to each other, a fact that Kirk’s friends and family waste no time pointing out to him. She, in Stainer’s words, is a “hard 10,” the top of the dating food chain, while Kirk is struggling to keep his status at five.
Nonetheless, Molly is determined to win him over and as Kirk struggles to understand why such a gorgeous girl would be interested in him, he starts to think maybe she sees something no one else can. After being wined and dined by the most beautiful woman he’s ever met, Kirk is finally starting to believe in himself and contemplate a different future. Then he makes a disastrous first impression on Molly’s upper-crust parents, and the relationship is over as quickly as it began. With the “help” of his friends, Kirk launches an all-out attempt to win Molly back, with hilariously cringe-inducing results. With Molly’s dashing ex-boyfriend and Kirk’s suddenly possessive ex-girlfriend Marnie complicating his quest, Kirk attempts to prove that if you try hard enough, love can overcome even a five-point spread.

You hardly ever get to see something so artificial. No matter how good an actress Alice Eve is, she still couldn't hide her body language which was literally screaming she'd rather be anywhere else but in the presence of the protagonist, whom you wish you could just punch in the face. I enjoy comedies about losers, but the movie has to be really funny, smart and a little realistic. This film was not about giving hope to the most desperate individuals. What it was trying to say is that women don't really care about men's appearance, money, social status. They don't even need to have anything in common with them or a single common topic to talk about. All they want is a completely below-average individual, in all respects mundane, and not in a good way. For this reason, the movie should be classified as a sci-fi or mystery.

An Incredibly fun affair. Some scenes are like taken out of reality, some are outrageously awkward. What I enjoyed the most about it is that the creators openly don't tell you they are just joking and parodying on purpose. The rating of the film will therefore depend on how many things you can manage to see through, and there's plenty of them. The best comedy of the year.

A romantic comedy that doesn't surprise you with anything. A standard plot, development, and ending. Under different circumstances, I would have given it a 2, but I’m giving it a 3 for two reasons. Firstly, it's a comedy and I had some genuine laughs. Secondly, Alice Eve.
