I have to admit that this was better then I thought it would be.  I've seen Kick-Ass, but didn't go gaga over it, which is why I was expecting this to just be okay.  Well,  it was more than okay - it was a bit of awesomeness wrapped up into amazing.

After seeing this, I am so making my own super hero and hitting the streets to fight for justice!  Not really, but the thought did cross my mind (several times).  Even though you knew the good guys would win in the end, it was still seat gripping action as the good guys battled it out with the bad boys.

Jim Carrey was awesome.  I had NO idea he was in the movie until afterwards when my boyfriend told me.  He didn't look or sound like himself at all.  I'm still embarrassed I didn't know it was him.

I recommend seeing this.  It is just a good old "the underdog wins" movie and it's really entertaining, and, pleasantly surprisingly, funny.

Favorite Scene:  Hit Girl gets back at the evil clique girls during lunch.  Classic.
