There is a whole lot to be said for fun -- especially fun that can be shared by all -- and in this regard Spy Kids saves the day.

Even on such a low budget, this is the best in the Mexico-trilogy films. Well paced from the opening title to the to be continued promise, every scene has a humorous note. An original script with a good amount of shoot outs, this film

A throwback to the family films of the 1970s, like one of Disney's goofy capers crossed with "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory."

It's Alan Cumming who takes over the movie as the impish mastermind Fegan Floop.

It's whiz-bang, techno fun, with a touch of Latino flavor.

One of those gentle surprises, a kids' picture made with enough thought and care to keep adults entertained too.

One lousy little movie -- utterly devoid of any real originality or charm.

Spy Kids is fresh, energetic and joyous with energy flowing the screen. Iam a big fan of Robert Rodriguez and his awesome films. This trademark film starring Alexa Vega and Antonio Banderas is gripping and fun. He has made a great film for kids and adults to enjoy. It does have flaws that are forgetful but overall, it's a GOOD movie, just plain cheesy fun for anyone who watches it. Spy Kids is epic.

Spy Kids is actually better than I thought it would be. I looked awfully cheesy and disappointing. Instead it brought zany humor and weird plot elements. Its pure fun for everyone.

Spy Kids isn't something terribly great, but kids will enjoy it with It's great performances, and a good voice acting. Overall, a good movie, that I recommend it mostly to children.

I cashed out at the McDonalds advertisement. Robert Rodriguez is very talented, with movies like El Mariachi, Desperado and recently Alita, he portrays quick witted protagonists. This is well photographed, nicely edited and very well acted. The red alert for parents in trouble came at a weird time. I find it difficult these days to sit through movies about happy families, loving and loyal. Every family I ever saw was about competition and manipulation, with every member of the family having no other priority except to sabotage the others.
