Synopsis:
An airport security guard gets involved with a girl who's very obviously of a higher caliber than himself, and schemes to make the relationship last as his friends and family watch along in disbelief. Kirk (Jay Baruchel) was languishing in a dead-end job as an airport security agent when he somehow managed to earn the affections of the successful and drop-dead gorgeous Molly (Alice Eve). Even Kirk isn't exactly sure what Molly sees in him, though he's willing to do whatever it takes to make the relationship work. With his friends, family, and ex-girlfriend all watching stunned from the sidelines, Kirk discovers that he'll have to work overtime in order to convince Molly that he's worth hanging on to.

Review:
Does every Jay Baruchel  movie have to feature or be about hockey? I hope so. I think the more I see the film the less I actually like it. First time, I laughed quite a bit, thought the actors were really well written. But then the 2nd & 3rd time I noticed more of the stupid childish jokes, the lame acting & characters that aren't actually very interesting. I will say though that my boy T.J. Miller is always a gem. Even if his name is.... ugh Stainer. WTF?! If you love silly pube shaving scenes or basement hockey games with couch cushions as leg pads, then you will love this film. If your looking for anything more than just an attractive woman & a lanky Canadian, you might be out of luck. YEAH DENVER!
