Yes, I said crappy. This movie... First of all, he's best friend Stainer (T.J. Miller) made me want to pull my hair out. Or his. Miller should never straighten his hair. EVER. That isn't a good reason to dislike this film, I know, but that's just one of those odd things that bugged me. I know, I'm weird.
The movie literally is just about Kirk (Baruchel) who is your every day oridinary guy who ends up scoring a "babe" named Molly (Alice Eve) and no one can believe it, especially him. [SPOILERS AHEAD] He's so innsecure about the match that, of course, he ends up screwing it up therefore leading him to "win her back" at the end of the movie in front of a huge crowd.

Pushing aside all the Hollywood cliches that were jam packed into this movie, it could have been good. It actually had Kirk being a kind, honest, caring guy who would literally make any woman swoon. Trust me. I have alot of friends who would kill to have a boyfriend that nice.
It's main problem is that it trys too hard to be a raunchy comedy a la The Hangover (Which a blurb on the front said it's the funniest comedy since then. Dude, it wasn't that long ago.) but also a romantic chick flick a la [insert chick flick here]. Man, I hate romance movies, so maybe that's what turned me against this film. I don't know. It wasn't completely horrible and I would much rather sit through this than Tideland again.
Oh, and I think that the Baruchel bashing will for now cease now that everyone has seen his ass. Just sayin'.
