Decent Kick Thanks to Hit

Let's be clear - Hit Girl makes the movie. The storyline surrounding Kick-Ass is a bit tiresome, not to mention the dialogue is not on par with other "geek angst" movies such as Napolean Dynamite. However, the movie is worth watching for two primary reasons: Hit Girl and the soundtrack. I will give kudos to Nic Cage and his "channeling" of Adam West (yes, very funny) but it is clear that the writers were really in their groove and likely squealing with delight as they explored how far they could push the boundaries regarding dialogue for an 11-year old. She is a raunchy, borderline sociopath that, as far as we can tell, directs all her vitriol for the villians of the world, especially those responsible for the wrongful imprisonment of her father and subsequent suicide of her mother. True, she was spurred on by her father to build her rage and weapons arsenal (not to self: do not attempt home schooling) but she is clearly not wired correctly. Regardless, she rocks. The movie drags without her, plain and simple. I will also give a huge shoutout to the soundtrack which was filled with truly inspired choices, all of which have likely become new inclusions to thousands of IPODs everywhere.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
