A fun-enough teen action comedy.
Justin Lowe, Hollywood Reporter
Rotten
This mashup of a teenage assassin lark and high school misfit comedy misses the chance to add a supercool heroine to pop culture.
Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News

"Barely Lethal" is an amusing comedy for a certain demographic, but because of its plot and cast it might instead draw a crowd that will greet it with contempt.
Neil Genzlinger, New York Times
Rotten
"Barely Lethal" is clearly confused about its intended audience, starting with the icky title, a pun on the porn label that selects and photographs models to emphasize their youth.
