Fun. The idea of kids killing and cursing didn't bother me much as the film takes you into it's own world pretty quickly. The lead was really good and had the look to deliver, he really carries much of the movie.
Nicolas Cage was pretty awesome, and really did a lot to give a foundation to the characters of Big Daddy and Hit Girl in a short amount of screen time. Without him this the film probably wouldn't have worked so well. He was sincere in his motivations, and without those, those two characters would have come off of as too goofy.
A fun romp that takes itself just seriously enough to make you feel the characters pain, while keeping one foot firmly planted in fantasy land, and tongue planted firmly in cheek. Also, Hit Girl in a schoolgirl outfit made me feel things I shouldn't.
Kick Ass, kicks ass.
