Special Features:

Deleted Scenes
Audio Commentary with Director Kyle Newman and Actors Dove Cameron and Thomas Mann
"Back to School: On the Set of Barely Lethal" Featurette

This is streaming on Amazon Prime if anyone wants to check it out.

Wow, Samuel L. must be hard up for money if he's doing stuff like this. Having said that, I love watching the trash he's in because he makes the trash look good.

Update: OK, the trailer was...decent? Might give this a whirl after all.

He's never turned anything down.

I hope you enjoy it.

Despite the negative reviews, I'm looking forward to it as well. I'm just waiting a while to pick it up since I've bought a lot lately.

Well, I just got finished watching it and I have to admit, I actually enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. Hailee kicked ass in it and it was nice to see her in a lead role. It was actually really funny.

Cool, glad to hear it.

Screw the critics, right?

Naiera · 08-06-2015, 12:39 PM

I'll buy anything with Hailee in it. Just waiting for mine to arrive from some dropshipper somewhere...

Picked this up to add to my A24 collection, the cover art is hideous, wish they stuck with one of the original posters.
I heard bad things and I was even going to go to a free screening of this a couple months back but I forgot. Overall, Im about to watch it.

SwaggerJagger · 08-20-2015, 01:39 PM

I just finished it and I'll say it's an okay movie.
It definitely got lost at times and it seemed obvious that Jessica Alba worked on this film for a few days as it seemed like they wanted her as a major role but only got to use her a few times. Overall, it was decent. It reminded me of So Undercover, which was also decent. I like Thomas Mann, he's usually pretty good in everything he's in. But Haliee is not a very actress, esp when she's attempting to cry, no tears when she's supposedly extremely upset, it's a little awkward. Other than that, I'm feeling generous and I'd give this a 3/5 despite its major flawless. The effects are also dreadful as it's always painfully obvious they're standing behind a green screen

This one is pretty lame. Got it as a free rental which is all I could recommend watching it as. Hardly any action at all.
Kinda like Spy Kids meet kick-ass 2

Searching for the slipcover for this movie if anyone can help me out I'll pay moneys

Just re-watched this and 1 minute and 20 seconds of film production logos is a bit much.

It remains a fun teen comedy with a charming Hailee Steinfeld as the lead. I wish we did get a sequel, or that Charlie's Angels sequel with Hailee Steinfeld since she made a cameo at the end of that one.

All the Ke$ha references in this movie already seem a bit outdated though. I doubt teenagers will know who she is in 5 years.

The movie also filmed some scenes in the same Atlanta high school as The Duff and Love, Simon. It would make an interesting teen movie triple feature.
