    • Quotes

      Damon Macready: So... Have you thought a little more about what you might want for your birthday?

      Mindy Macready: Can I get a puppy?

      Damon Macready: [surprised] You wanna get a dog?

      Mindy Macready: Yeah, a cuddly fluffy one, and a Bratz movie-star make over Sasha!

      [Damon is stunned]

      Mindy Macready: [laughs] I'm just fucking with you Daddy! Look, I'd love a Benchmade model 42 butterfly knife.

      Damon Macready: [relieved] Oh, child... You always knock me for a loop!

    • Crazy credits

    Funny and different
    This is an unusually interesting comic book adaptation movie. It's got action but it's actually part comedy romance and part teen movie. It's quite story driven too with interesting amusing dialog and voice overs. IT doesn't take itself too seriously which is good. The violence is there but it's not as bad as some of the new movies.

    The leads are appealing Aaron Johnson has an expressive face and suits the role. Lyndsy Fonseca is quite a charming love interest. Chloe Moretz makes a rather controversial role quite cute as the violent kid. Nicholas Cage is in a supporting role.

    Quite watchable and different.
