Spy Kids - James Bond kids, Pee Wee's Playhouse and hints of Willy Wonka

Date of Review:  Apr 13, 2001
The Bottom Line: borrows from the classics, the sequel will be the big hit - catch this one first
Review: Spy Kids is a grab bag of cinematic classics spliced into one reel. James Bond gadgetry & Willie Wonka theatrics, shrouded in a vivid Pee Wee?s Playhouse backdrop. Sky Kids is the tale of two double-O calibre secret agents, who decide to drop out of...

Spy Kids

Date of Review:  Mar 30, 2001
The Bottom Line: Go now and see it. Fun for both the kids and adults.
Review: I got an email from Epinons offering me free movie tickets to a preview of Spy Kids. I jumped at the idea of a free night of entertainment. I rounded up my young nephew and parents and off we went to see this exciting film.

We were not...

James Bond meets Baby Geniuses - Spy Kids on DVD

Date of Review:  Mar 27, 2001
The Bottom Line: It's made for kids and they'll like it. Plus it's good enough to keep parents entertained, unless they are film critics.
Review: An action flick with family values! The stars of this film are Alexa Vega as Carmen Cortez and Daryl Sabara as Juni Cortez. They are 2 kids whose parents, Ingrid (Carla Gugino) and Gregorio (Antonio Banderas) are spies. The kids don't know that yet...

Spy Kid's-Good kid's movie

Date of Review:  Apr 23, 2001
The Bottom Line: I would say it is average but gave it a higher rating due to my daughter's opinion. It is a kid movie after all.
Review: I saw the trailers for Spy Kids and really didn't care to see it. But it was on my daughters Must See list so off we went. I thought it was cute and my daughter loved it. She wants to get it when it comes out on video.

Directed by Robert...

Jam Packed Full of Action & Stars!!!

Date of Review:  May 21, 2001
The Bottom Line: Imaginative kid empowerment movie great for the whole family!
Review: Look out 007, there are new agents in town, and they could be your next door neighbors!

WHY DID WE CHOSE TO SEE THIS MOVIE?
Rain cancelled our family day trip to the local amusement park, so we scanned the newspaper to find something...

More fun than BOTH Mission Impossible movies put together!

Date of Review:  Mar 17, 2001
The Bottom Line: In an era where the 'family movie' is often just another shallow marketing ploy, it's nice to see one that's just plain fun.
Review: I must admit that I had ulterior motives to seeing this press screening. Spy Kids was to be shown on Digital Video (via satellite!) and I just had to experience the visual (and aural) splendor for myself. Imagine my surprise when this movie proved...

I Saw It For Free, and STILL Want My Money Back

Date of Review:  Mar 7, 2001
The Bottom Line: After a colorful, appealing opening sequence highlighting the story of two enemy spies falling in love, movie devolves into a mess of special effects, choppy transitions, and boring action sequences.
Review: Spy Kids, released by Miramax?s Dimension films, is the kind of movie that smacks completely of corporate engineering. One gets feeling that the idea for it was conceived as Harvey Weinstein sat on the toilet, reading Daily Variety. ?Hey!? he...

Spy Kids: Willy Wonka meets Maxwell Smart...

Date of Review:  Aug 5, 2002
The Bottom Line: Good action movie for kids, but less entertaining for adults because of one-dimensional characters and faxed in performances.
Review: The current TV commercial blitz for Spy Kids II reminded me that we had never seen the original movie. We though it might be amusing, so we picked up a copy at the rental store. Unfortunately, we were disappointed. Some kids movies like Toy Story II...

Too Cool For School

Date of Review:  Mar 31, 2001
The Bottom Line: Read The Review.
Review: Parents who think Hollywood never makes any quality family films, should give Spy Kids a chance. To say Spy Kids is the best family film of the year would be an understatement. This has been a year of such family films as See Spot Run. Spy Kids is...
