**Kick-Ass** follows a teenage comic book fan who becomes a homemade superhero, but the R rating is well-earned: it contains strong violence, frequent profanity, and moderate sexual content. A young child plays an assassin with disturbing graphic violence. This film is not appropriate for children under 17 without parental permission.
