Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
"Barely Lethal" is clearly confused about its intended audience, starting with the icky title, a pun on the porn label that selects and photographs models to emphasize their youth.

"Barely Lethal" is an amusing comedy for a certain demographic, but because of its plot and cast it might instead draw a crowd that will greet it with contempt.

rotten:
This mashup of a teenage assassin lark and high school misfit comedy misses the chance to add a supercool heroine to pop culture.

fresh:
A fun-enough teen action comedy.

You're better off watching Kingsman and The Breakfast Club back to back and calling it a night.
