Top CriticAs a piece of almost dadaist filmmaking, Spy Kids is great fun with its continual spirit of invention.

Top CriticA fine, relatively non-violent example of pure family entertainment.

Top CriticA good live-action children's movie -- a species so rare that many presumed it extinct.
03/30/01
Top CriticIt's entertaining and inoffensive, a rare combination in kids' films, which are usually neither.
03/30/01
Top CriticA delight for 7-year-olds, their parents, and James Bond diehards everywhere.
03/30/01
Top CriticA virtual eruption of special effects and sorcery, borrows a little here and a little there from a lot of espionage thrillers, which may amuse parents.
03/30/01
Top CriticEnjoyable and charming if overactive.

Top CriticDoesn't feel like it rolled off a studio assembly line.
03/30/01
Top CriticThe adventures of the Cortez family have a casual multicultural feel that is welcome.

Top CriticA winner.

Top CriticA treasure.

Top CriticJust wacky enough and gadget-driven enough to appeal to bored kids looking for fresh energies.
03/30/01
Top CriticEnergetic and slickly done, but also somewhat soulless.
03/29/01

03/29/01
Top CriticThe kids' movie kids have been waiting for.
03/29/01
Top CriticWinning family film that's clever in the best kind of offhanded way.
03/29/01
Top CriticThe children's thriller Spy Kids is just a glorified gizmo movie, but, as directed by the semigrown up Robert Rodriguez, the gizmos have a loopy, babes in toyland vivacity.
