There's not an original idea in "She's Out of My League," another riff on the geeky-guy-dates-a-hot-girl raunchy comedy that has been box office gold of late.

But there's some sweetness to go with the sex, a convincing cast and enough very funny jokes to make it a satisfying, if instantly forgettable, view.

The guy this time is Transportation Security Administration screener Kirk (Jay Baruchel), a skinny loser who didn't go to college and spends his time hanging out with his airport buddies.

They are Devon (Nate Torrence), a married ticket agent who has a penchant for quoting Disney cartoons; Jack (Mike Vogel), a smooth operator who works in baggage; and the thick, self-absorbed Stainer (T.J. Miller), another screener.

Kirk's pining away for Marnie (Lindsay Sloane), the woman who dumped him two years earlier. She has been adopted by his crass family and brings her vacant new boyfriend home to their house.

Then beauty Molly (Alice Eve) goes through the line at the airport. Stainer and the other screeners are rude, to say the least. But Kirk saves her from their harassment.

When she leaves her iPhone in the tray, her business partner makes a call from the plane, Kirk answers, keeps the phone and, the next day, takes it to Molly at a swanky party at Pittsburgh's Andy Warhol museum.

She invites him to a hockey game, and the will-it-work romance is on.

Here's what makes "She's Out of My League" different. It is actually a sweet love story, even if it is R rated.

Kirk, terrifically played by Baruchel, is a truly nice guy, kind, funny, smart and completely lacking in self confidence. Eve doesn't have to do much besides look hot, but she manages to make Molly another good person looking for love in, perhaps, the right places.

Surprisingly, the clothes stay on for most of the film and there is no nudity - another switch for the R-rated fare. But that's not to say there isn't some raunch.

There are a couple set pieces, a premature ejaculation sketch and a pubic-area shaving scene. It created so much laughter at the screening I attended, it drowned out the dialogue and the banter between the characters.

Once again, there's absolutely nothing in "She's Out of My League" that hasn't been seen and done before. But the approach and cast is fresh enough that it's fun to watch. You really do root for them to live happily ever after.
