Just the right combination of fantasy and comedy.
December 28, 2010 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… -
Fulfills kids' empowerment fantasies and features enough techno-wizardry and cool f/x to satisfy those weaned on videogames.

In terms of its family ethos, this makes an interesting comparison with the Addams Family films.

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.

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

Aug 23, 2015Incredibly cheesy and dumb, Spy Kids is a family action-comedy from writer/director Robert Rodriguez. When a husband and wife spy team is captured by a megalomaniacal children's show host who's building a robot army, their kids embark on a mission to rescue them. The adult supporting cast is rather good and includes Antonio Banderas, Carla Gugino, Alan Cumming, and Teri Hatcher. But it's the kids that have to carry the film, and while Alexa Vega gives a fairly good performance (for a child actor), Daryl Sabara is intolerably bad (poisoning every seen he's in). And, the special effects and costumes look extremely cheap and cartoonish (especially the green screen backgrounds). Knowing Rodriguez, this is probably an intentional homage to '50s sci-fi, but the look doesn't work. Also, the comedy is extraordinarily juvenile, lacking any cleverness or subtlety. A poorly made film, Spy Kids is an insulting piece of garbage.Dann M Super Reviewer

Aug 06, 2013Robert Rodriguez tones down on the violent and vulgar vibe he's accustomed too and trades it with fun and family-oriented adventures, and it actually pays off. Spy Kids is engaging and has enough for children as well as adults to enjoy. 4/5Eugene B Super Reviewer

Jan 09, 2012The biggest problem with this movie is that we can't take the secret agents, who are fighting evil Thumbs and "Fooglies", seriously.Bram S Super Reviewer
