i took my wife and her 15 year old son to Kick-Ass and we all enjoyed it greatly. We all loved the character "Hit-Girl" and throughly enjoyed ourselves. While the violence was pervasive, it was not over-the-top, and it fit well with the storyline. I was reminded of some of the classics of this genre like "Kill Bill" and "From Dusk Till Dawn". This movie was every bit as enjoyable. This movie is not for young people under 14-15 due to the violence. But it is an enjoyable venture for teens and adults. It was an evening well spent.
