Kick-Ass (2010)

A regular guy tries to emulate his comic book heroes in the real world; will he stop the bad guy and get the girl or get his ass dusted? It’s hard to care, really.
Chloë Moretz makes it worth watching and Nic Cage channelling his inner Adam West era Batman gives him his best role in over a decade.
It’s a film that’ll appeal to the summer blockbuster fan who likes chocolate with rainbow sprinkles, but check the ingredients and you’ll find that it’s just a chocolate flavoured coating masking a cheap marshmallow.

You changed the "douche" part.

It widowed the word ‘really’. That makes me twitch.

He’s still a douche, though. That hasn't changed.
