She’s Out of My League (2010)

Jay Baruchel, one of Seth Rogen’s band of brothers in “Knocked Up,” graduates to lead loser in a generic knock-off of a Judd Apatow film. Not even romantic interest Alice Eve can explain why she’s with the dead-end, self-esteem-less Baruchel.

Confessions of a Shopaholic (2009)

Isla Fisher’s charm can’t save a screwball comedy about an addiction to shopping and credit card debt during the current economic crisis — serious subjects for a serious time. What was intended as light fare comes off as irresponsible.
