Here’s every movie collaboration between Chloe Grace Moretz and Christopher Mintz-Plasse, ranked worst to best. Christopher Mintz-Plasse made his film debut with Superbad in 2007, where he stole the show from the likes of Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen as dweeby teenager Fogell – AKA McLovin. Mintz-Plasse soon racked up a lot of credits in the years that followed, including remake Fright Night, Neighbors and voicing Fishlegs Ingerman in the How To Train Your Dragon franchise.

Chloe Grace Moretz had appeared in the likes of The Amityville Horror remake before her star-making turn as foul-mouthed child assassin Hit-Girl in 2010’s Kick-Ass. She’s appeared in an impressive range of roles since then, including the title character in horror remake Carrie, drama If I Stay and the recent reboot of Tom & Jerry.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY

Chloe  Moretz and Christopher Mintz-Plasse are friends in real life and have worked together many times over the last decade. Here are their movies ranked.

Movie 43 (2013)

It’s probably no surprise to see Movie 43 at the bottom of the list since it’s one of the most disliked comedies of recent years. This anthology set the bar low with the opening sketch “The Catch,” where Kate Winslet goes on a date with Hugh Jackman’s handsome stranger – who is revealed to have a pair of testicles dangling under his chin – before subjecting an all-star cast to a witless line-up of bad taste skits.

Chloe Grace Moretz and Christopher Mintz-Plasse appear in the Elizabeth Banks directed “Middleschool Date,” where the former plays a girl who starts menstruating while on a date in a boy’s home. Mintz-Plasse plays the boy’s older brother who starts freaking out over this, and the sketch is five minutes of shrieking hysteria before it mercifully ends.

Kick-Ass 2 (2013)

Original Kick-Ass helmer Matthew Vaughn handed the reins to Jeff Wadlow for Kick-Ass 2, which sees Moretz’s Hit-Girl struggle with becoming a teenager while Mintz-Plasse’s Red Mist becomes a major villain. While both Moretz and Jim Carrey deliver great work, this sequel lacks the wit and impressive action that made the original so much fun, and its lukewarm response killed plans for a third movie and a Hit-Girl spinoff.

Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising (2016)

The original Neighbors was a fun comedy that saw Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen’s married couple become the targets of a frat house that moves in next door, led by Zac Efron’s Pete. The sequel sees Byrne, Rogen and Efron team up to take on a sorority that moves in next door, fronted by Moretz’s Shelby, while Mintz-Plasse’s Scoonie also makes a return appearance.

Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising isn’t a strictly necessary sequel, but it contains enough belly laughs to make it worthwhile for those who enjoyed the original. It does somewhat suffer from the comedy sequel curse of feeling like a lesser remake of the first movie, but there’s still fun to be had with it.

Kick-Ass (2010)

Kick-Ass was based on the Mark Millar comic of the same name and follows Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s teenager who decides to become a real-life superhero. This sees him cross paths with father/daughter vigilante’s Big Daddy (Nic Cage) and Moretz’s Hit-Girl, and wannabe supervillain Red Mist (Mintz-Plasse).

Kick-Ass is a blend of dark comedy, action and drama that somehow all blends together and is one of the best superhero movies of the decade. The performances are excellent all around, with Chloe Grace Moretz and Christopher Mintz-Plasse both putting in strong work. The movie was a surprise success, but despite ending with a sequel tease, it might have been better off as a one-off cult favorite.

It’s pronounced Paw-rick, not Pad-raig. Now that’s out of the way, a brief introduction. Padraig has been writing about film online since 2012, when a friend asked if he’d like to contribute the occasional review or feature to their site.

A part-time hobby soon blossomed into a career when he discovered he really loved writing about movies, TV and video games – he even (arguably) had a little bit of talent for it. He has written words for Den of Geek, Collider, The Irish Times and Screen Rant over the years, and can discuss anything from the MCU – where Hawkeye is clearly the best character – to the most obscure cult b-movie gem, and his hot takes often require heat resistant gloves to handle.

He’s super modern too, so his favorite movies include Jaws, Die Hard, The Thing, Ghostbusters and Batman. He can be found as i_Padds on Twitter making bad puns.
