Publisher's Synopsis
A set of six comedy films. 'Kick-Ass' (2010) is an action comedy based on the Marvel comic strip. Aaron Johnson stars as run-of-the-mill high school student Dave Lizewski, who, disillusioned with his humdrum existence, is inspired by the heroes of the comic books he loves to become a real-life superhero called 'Kick-Ass'. In 'Role Models' (2008), boisterous salesmen Wheeler (Seann William Scott) and Danny (Paul Rudd) are two energy drink salesmen who sample a few too many of their products and end up crashing one of the company trucks. They are then forced to spend a community service sentence helping out wayward kids... In 'Pineapple Express' (2008), Dale Denton (Seth Rogen) is a stoner with a mundane courthouse job that enables him to indulge his habit to his heart's content. He regularly visits his dealer, Saul Silver (James Franco), who has recently been supplying him with a rare new strain of weed called Pineapple Express... In 'Grown Ups (2010), 30 years after graduating from high school, five former basketball teammates - Lenny (Adam Sandler), Eric (Kevin James), Kurt (Chris Rock), Marcus (David Spade) and Rob (Rob Schneider) - gather for the funeral of their late coach over the Fourth of July holiday weekend at the same lakeside house where they celebrated a championship victory many years before. Will Ferrell co-writes and stars in 'Step Brothers' (2008), a comedy about two losers, Brennan Huff (Ferrell) and Dale Doback (John C. Reilly), who become stepbrothers after Brennan's mother, Nancy (Mary Steenburgen), marries Dale's father, Robert (Richard Jenkins). Because neither man has ever got around to leaving home, despite their advanced age, the two now find themselves living together... Finally, in 'Superbad' (2007), two socially inept teenage boys, (Michael Cera and Jonah Hill), are about to graduate from high school. Having been accepted into different colleges, the two are forced to contemplate life apart - a concept that induces severe separation anxiety in them both.
