Kick Ass: The Movie Rated R

If you haven't read about it it is a very strange movie but also strangely entertaining. If you combined Superbad, the 40 year old virgin, Knocked up with Kill Bill with an 11 year old little girl that kills everyone to the point where you just have to laugh at all the blood and mayhem then this is the movie for you. It is very strange so be ready for strange. However, for me, the strangest person is not the little girl but the little girl's father Nicholas Cage. He plays this really strange dude incredibly well. He really gets these strange parts down I've noticed. The little girl is just being loyal to her very different Dad and trying to please him. But if this sounds interesting to you then go for it. It is really quite entertaining once you get past just how twisted the whole thing is.

The one really redeeming charactor is "Dave" the guy that is "Kick Ass". He really is the average fairly good high school student that likes comic books and is very idealistic to the point where you wonder if he will survive his teens? But the movie is very well crafted and if you are old enough not to be completely twisted by the movie it plays out just like many comic books do and doesn't fail to entertain in a very new way.
