Barely Lethal

2015 · 98 min

A breezy, silly fish-out-of-water romp that plays high school cliques like spy missions, fun but forgettable.

Tagline: Click. Clique. Bang.

How it feels: Light, satirical, whimsical and earnest. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Identity, coming-of-age, friendship, family
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
