I wouldn't think you need to the movie stays really close to the source for the most part. There are two relatively big changes.
The first is that in the book, it's revealed that Big Daddy isn't an ex cop, but in fact, just a comic geek. I actually like that the film changed it, as its kind of hard to believe a comic nerd could do what he did over a trained cop.
The second change I didn't like. In the book, when he reveals that he's kickass and that he's not gay, she pretty much tells him that he's a creepy perv and to fuck off. The whole point of kick ass is to eschew traditional comic cliches. One of which is "The Hero always gets the girl". So when he does get the girl in the movie, it feels contradictory to everything else. I don't know why they changed that part. Maybe they thought it was too grim and depressing with out it. Dunno.
