You are not a 5-pointer, really.

Probably most people think this movie is a popcorn movie. It has no special features except for being funny and a little bit of inspiration, so everyone's ratings are not high. But I think that sometimes the high and low ratings of certain movies are only known after you have watched them, rather than other people's data to tell you.
First of all, Jay Baruchel's performance attracted me. Whether it's tilting your head, hunching slightly, or all kinds of inadvertent small movements on your hands, or even slightly sluggish eyes, how perfect a boy with 5 points is represented. Alice Eve is really beautiful. Although Bright Eyes and White Teeth are often described as Orientals, I don't think it can be used too much on her, plus her beautiful blonde hair. Although she has a big chest, it's not like the brainless type. Christen Ritter is like a playful doll, and it makes people laugh when they think about it.
Speaking of the general plot, although it is not subversive, it still feels quite new, at least that's what I think. Kirk and Molly were dating that section. It was very witty. The silly Kirk wore the same clothes as the waiter and was regarded as a waiter by many people, but this was more of Kirk's gentlemanly demeanor, although he was a little thin and sluggish. Also, when the Kirk family got on the plane to Branson and everyone was waiting for the plane to take off, Kirk suddenly figured it out, and then ridiculed everyone besides his mother, even if they didn’t. The passenger I knew, finally tragedy happened and he couldn't get off. Especially when talking to the flight attendants, Jay really did a great job.
I like the role of Steiner very much. Although there is a lot of nonsense, he is courageous and courageous, whether it is for Kirk's love, or as the lead singer of the band, or when he is upset by another stranger in bowling, he has the courage to stand up for Kirk. Humor without losing wisdom, unruly on the outside but thoughtful on the inside, much like the young people in our society, cynical on the outside, but will be able to withstand it when things happen.
I think whether the final idea of ​​this movie is not only for the love between men and women, even if it is only for love, I think it is very convincing. Not every man who looks downcast, not stalwart, and does not have a luxury car and bungalow is not favored by women. It also tells us that not all women in this world are snobs. Regardless of whether you are a poor boy or a not-so-beautiful girl, don't think you are a 5-pointer. In fact, everyone has their own merits. Perhaps this is what attracts others. Don't lose confidence in yourself because others don't think highly of yourself.
A good movie, especially for young people.
Believe in yourself, you are not a 5-pointer, you have to boldly show your strengths and give yourself extra points!

    "You're so good, you're worthy of anyone" makes me want to watch it.

She's Out of My League quotes

  • Molly: You think I'm too perfect? So you were hoping there was something wrong with me so you could be with me?

    Kirk: Look at the evidence, Molly. I'm unattractive, I'm out of shape, I'm uncoordinated, I've never been to Europe, I'm not a college graduate, I drive a Neon.

    Molly: I like your Neon.

    Kirk: Oh come on, Molly, look at me. I'm a 5. This is a 5. Hard 5. You can't jump more than two points. It's the Tao of Love. Everybody knows that. Even if you were a 9 and I was in a band. But no, you're a hard 10.

    Molly: What are you talking about?

    Kirk: Do you even know how hot you are? No, you probably think that everybody gets free shit everywhere they go and everybody's happy and nice to each other in shiny happy hot town with you and all your hot friends and ex boyfriends, but I hate to break it to you, it's not the same for the rest of us.

    Molly: Okay, Kirk. You clearly have some major self-esteem issues.

    Kirk: You lied about me to your parents right in front of me!

    Molly: No I didn't!

    Kirk: "Kirk's in aviation?" That's like saying the guy who shovels elephant shit at the circus is in show business. No, he's just the elephant shit guy. That's me. I'm that guy.

  • Molly: You know what, Kirk? Maybe you're right. Maybe you are a 5. You know why? No self-esteem, deduct a point. Every time someone walks into a room, you compare yourself to them. Deduct a point. You're a smart and talented guy who's afraid to do anything with it. Deduct a point. Um, how are we doing? Oh, oh yeah! Hoping that I have a defect that you can work with? Deduct whatever's left.

    Kirk: I'm out of here. Webbed fucking feet, are you kidding me?

    Molly: KIRK!

    Kirk: Hey, do me a favor. Tell "foot long" I say hi.

    Molly: He's my EX boyfriend, Kirk. EX. And do you even know why we broke up?

    Kirk: Why, because you guys couldn't decide which one of you was hotter?

    Molly: No, because he behaved EXACTLY like you're behaving right now. He couldn't handle it. He thought I was perfect. He had me on a pedestal that I couldn't possibly live up to! Oh, and one other little thing? He cheated on me! And so after that I said to myself I am not going to date guys like that anymore.

    Kirk: Guys like that? So, what? You're just, you're going to date guys like me?

    Molly: Is that what you want to hear? That I asked you out because I thought you were safe?

    Kirk: Yeah, please, keep going.

    Molly: That I thought that a guy who looks like you wouldn't hurt me? Is that what you want to hear, Kirk? Are you happy now?

    Kirk: Yeah, I'm ecstatic.
