Lionsgate releases this foul-mouthed film, which mixes superhero antics and teen comedy. Aaron Johnson stars as a geeky high school kid who takes on a new persona as a masked superhero named Kick-Ass – despite his total lack of superpowers. Although his initial attemps fail, he becomes a cultural phenomenon, inspiring others to become costumed crime-fighters, including a father-daughter duo played by Chloe Moretz and Nicolas Cage. Matthew Vaugh directed from a script he co-wrote with Jane Goldman, based on Mark Millar’s comic book series. Jason Flemyng, Lyndsy Fonesca, and Yancy Butler round out the cast. Release date: April 16.
