Movie Info
In this reteaming of actor Antonio Banderas and director Robert Rodriguez -- their first film together since the 1995 feature Desperado -- Banderas plays Gregorio; he and devoted partner Ingrid (Carla Gugino), comprise the greatest pair of secret agents working. Both are masters of disguise and have the ability to prevent wars, but eventually they want to settle down and begin raising a family. Nine years later, after retiring and giving up the lives of super-spies, Gregorio and Ingrid find

Fulfills kids' empowerment fantasies and features enough techno-wizardry and cool f/x to satisfy those weaned on videogames.
Top CriticIn terms of its family ethos, this makes an interesting comparison with the Addams Family films.
As a piece of almost dadaist filmmaking, Spy Kids is great fun with its continual spirit of invention.
A fine, relatively non-violent example of pure family entertainment.
A good live-action children's movie -- a species so rare that many presumed it extinct.
One of the best kids movies in years.
The visual effects don't really hold up 10 years later, but Spy Kids is still a charming, energetic, inventive kids' flick that balances its goofier side with its a sense of dramatic maturity.
Just the right combination of fantasy and comedy.
A fun, kid-friendly action flick that both parents and kids will love.
This year's most unlikely-and most successful-exhilarating family-type entertainment.
The entire ensemble of old pros play their designated roles well; standing out are Cumming, whose trademark impishness fits this role like a glove; and Danny Trejo, playing a nice guy for a change and pulling it off wonderfully.
The coolest kid flick in ages.
Spy Kids is a frivolous but fun adventure movie that will give kids thrills and adults some smiles. Everybody goes home happy.
Those expecting more than silly fun will surely be disappointed.
Pitched somewhere been the swagger of James Bond and the out there ambience of Willy Wonka, Spy Kids is a real treat.
Lively and high-spirited.
Colourful, inventive, fast-moving fantasy adventure that kids will love and adults will be grateful for.
... the nonstop action and terrifically imaginative production should make "Spy Kids" a winner with kids. Adults will enjoy it as well.
The first great movie of 2001...this is Raiders of the Lost Ark in the form of a gleefully smiling Happy Meal.
It is 007 for kids, only better.
Although gadgets galore almost overwhelm the film's characters and plot, this whimsical spoof of spy thrillers offers plenty of fun for the whole family.
A don't-miss future classic, Spy Kids is aimed at children but the entire family will enjoy its pro-family message and the cheesy-fun effects that'll make you want to be a kid again.
A movie drunk on fantasy and high on life, Spy Kids comes on the screen blazing and never lets up.
I've been trying to think what was the last popcorn movie — let alone the last popcorn “family” movie — that was as much sheer fun as Spy Kids.
