here come those misled that this was supposed to be for kiddies. not. good movie though.

Rating: 7/10 (10 May 2010)

What do all the detractors here have in common? They were sent here to protect our children from seeing this corruptive piece of trash.
Uh...Hello.... It's rated R you nimrods. In case you forgot - that means the ratings board agrees with you that it isn't smart to take your 6 yr old to see this movie. The same thing happened on the 'Role Model'(also a good movie) reviews when the fire and brimstone goody two-shoe protectors of our children came out to warn us about the filthy mouthed black kid.
back to the subject at hand.
What a blast. First of all, the character of the 10 yr old killer has a pertinent background that makes perfect sense, fits perfectly in the story, and is a near le femme nikita believable representation and explanation of what happens throughout the entire movie.
Much like defendor(also pretty good/notch below this though), Kick@$$ follows the regular Joe Smoe as he decides to dawn the uniform and fight crime.
This is not a comedy. It's best that you know that going in - as it's obvious some American Pie fanatics have been disappointed based on some of the reviews on here(not the number, but the written reviews).
What we have is a quirky and original superhero action flick that is just plain fun. If you wanna be politically correct or act like Leonard Maltin in search of an epically boring period piece then so-be-it... as for the rest of you - see this movie. This movie lived up to its' name.
Thanks Mom... but I'm all growns up now....74/100
