The New York Times
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.

Barely Lethal
Teen action-comedy starring Hailee Steinfeld, Jessica Alba, Sophie Turner and Samuel L. Jackson. A teenage special ops agent yearning for a "normal" adolescence fakes her own death and enrolls as an exchange student in a typical American high school. She quickly learns that surviving the treacherous waters of being a teenager can be more difficult than international espionage.

Los Angeles Times
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.
