Part of

Spy Kids Collection

The Spy Kids series is a series of family action-adventure films created by Robert Rodriguez. The main plot follows the adventures of two Cortez children who become involved in their parents' espionage. The rest of their family are spies as well, including their estranged uncle Machete and maternal grandparents. All films tend to have a strong Hispanic heritage theme, as Rodriguez is of Mexican descent, though the dialogue is predominately in English. McDonald's released Spy Kids toys in Happy Meals by the time all four films were released.

Decent watch at best, probably won't watch again, and can only recommend for younger audiences. Well, they definitely managed to get weirder by using time dilation and time travel, it's the worst. Time travel is way too deep a concept to do properly in children's entertainment, but, that said, they did a decent job of dumbing it down so maybe some of the kids could grasp it. Again, it weird to see big celebrities come in when I don't think kids would appreciate it, especially Jeremy Piven, who I know is hard to get signed onto a movie. Again, they spent a lot of time on weird effects or yada-yadaing through a sequence instead of concentrating on a movie of substance. Admittedly the deliveries were pretty good, and the script was alright, despite including time travel, but with all the time spent on the dog, and avoiding action or spending too little time building a scene, the movie evens out with there being less interesting things that good. I think kids will get into, and find a lot of the movie, especially that poor dog, hilarious.
