11 of 11 · most liked firstThere's a PG-13 action comedy called Barely Lethal. Yes, I know. But it very much is a quality action movie. For teens. Not single digits. Think Buffy Summers but she was taught Secret Agent skills. It gets super weird. Great film. Samuel L. Jackson has many emotions.
positive · AI labelView post →Watched Barely Lethal. Teen spy movie. Teen assassin wants a normal life so fakes her own death. This was dumb and cringey. So you can imagine how I felt when I enjoyed this. A Steve-O cameo was delightful and Samuel L. Jackson training child assassins was great. 3 / 5 ⭐️
neutral · AI labelView post →Ahhhhh @beckybunzy.bsky.social what was that Samuel L. Jackson movie California Mike and us watched that one night??? LMAOOOO found it. Barely Lethal. Might be the worst movie I've ever seen but it's so bad it's good but not good enough for a second viewing. Man that movie is bad. 😭😭😭
negative · AI labelView post →1. I don't think people watch EVERY A24 movie (who's seen Barely Lethal these days?) 2. I guess we can count the obvious Ghibli, Pixar, Laika types. 3. For me it might be... American Zoetrope? How much of it is not FCC related?

neutral · AI labelView post →You have definitely seen the movie before, just without the spies. A typical teenage coming-of-age flick with a new girl navigating the turbulent dangers of the high school social scene, except this time she's a spy. Barely Lethal felt like an old-school Disney channel movie with a slightly bigger budget and better stars. Whether that is good or bad is up to you. There were some funny moments, but it hit almost every cliché to the point I was guessing most of the dialogue before they even said…
neutral · AI labelView post →For some people, living a normal life is a challenge! Teen girl's film, but no usual romance-comedy. There are some small clichés, but being it is an action film, those parts looked kind of small. Yeah, nice casting. Hailee was really cool. The 'Descendant' girl Dove was good as well. The rest of cameos like Samuel L. Jackson and Alba was fine. It was from the director of 'Fanboys'. It tells the story of a girl trained to be an assassin from a very young age who escapes the centre to live a…
neutral · AI labelView post →This movie is absolutely ludicrous! The core of the story is simply unbelievable. However, this is movie meant to entertain and I dare say that the target audience is not exactly my age. This is clearly a teenage movie. Well, I guess that there is still a bit of a child in me because I found it rather entertaining even though, with a bit less “Hollywoodish” and more intelligent directing it could have been a lot better. I would say that this is a quite nice family movie. Well not for the really…
