Barely Lethal is not movie of the year but it's somewhat entertaining, it'll remind you of the terrible movies you liked when you were young. @wornoutspines.
Classic US and Foreign Movies on DVD
The guys in this flick are mostly ornaments. Good old Samuel L. J. and Jessica Alba also play second fiddle here to the youngsters. Definitely worth a watch.
Hailee Steinfeld plays a secret agent mentored by Samuel L. Jackson and pursued by Jessica Alba in Kyle Newman's high-school comedy.
From the grisly punning title to the low-rent action sequences, this really is less fun than double maths.
Barely Lethal tries to be this silly, spoof-like homage to teen movies but just ends up being a complete ripoff.

The film didn't cost a lot to make, and it shows at times. The high definition video is detailed enough that some of the lesser special effects ...
A cute, over-the-top mash-up of high school romcom and spy game action meant to entertain via silliness.
Hailee Steinfeld is a trained killer who just wants to be an ordinary kid in a teen movie pastiche that misses its target.
