Blu-ray Review: Dopey Comedy ‘This Girl is Badass’ Puts the Bad in Badass
Submitted by mattmovieman on June 7, 2013 - 10:04amCHICAGO – It’s difficult to determine whether the Thai action comedy, “This Girl is Badass,” is so stupid it’s funny or just plain stupid. There were long stretches in which I felt utterly dumbfounded by the bizarrely infantile hijinks unfolding on the screen. The film is rated R for violence, but most of the humor seems to be pitched at a third-grade level. It’s like a “Mortal Kombat” game interrupted by knock knock jokes.
