Spy Kids

Pros: Imaginative scenery, and is jam packed full of stars!

Cons: I was a little lost as to the actual location at first.

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...

Pros: A fantastic cast and whacked-out design!

Cons: They never made kids' films like this when I was a kid.

The Bottom Line: Rodriguez has single-handedly revived the dead genre of the family film. Fantastic! A real visual tour-de-force.

Review: Family films are a lot of things. Poorly-acted, lazily-written and full of bad songs, as a rule. What they aren't is something that a whole family will actually enjoy.

But then along came Robert Rodriguez, and he decided to throw a twisted...

Pros: Surprisingly solid family virtues and values celebrated with no profanity, vulgarity, gunplay or violence

Cons: Might be too raucous for some adults, storyline possibly too complicated for kids under 5.

The Bottom Line: A surprisingly sweet story of the strength and importance of family, "Spy Kids" is both safe *and* entertaining for kids, with laughs and excitement no parent need fear.

Review: Robert Rodriguez, the Texas-based filmmaker best known for comically violent shoot-em-ups like "El Mariachi," "Dusk Til Dawn" and "Desperado," takes an odd turn with "Spy Kids," a project that marks as dramatic a shift for him as a Disney musical might...

Pros: Action-packed and not in the least boring!

Cons: For the kids who get ideas from watching movies...maybe they shouldn't see it.

The Bottom Line: You won't regret paying full price for this film! Great for the whole family!

Review: When my five year old began telling me about this a few weeks ago, I was a little leery about taking he and his brother to see it. It was rated PG and I thought maybe it would be a little much for them. He kept telling me, "It's coming to theaters...

Pros: Tons of action to keep kids interested.

Cons: None that I could see.

The Bottom Line: Great family movie full action and adventure!

Review: I took my three children, ages 10, 9, and 6 to this movie last week and was pleasantly surprised. When I usually take my kids to movies, I figure I am in for an hour and a half of semi-boredom while letting my kids enjoy a movie that is made for them....

Pros: Keeps the kids entertained throughout the whole movie.

Cons: A bit cartoonish at times.

The Bottom Line: Take the kids to see this movie. They will love it and if you watch it with them you'll like it, too.

Review: This is a gently funny movie that kids will love and their parents will like. My two boys have been playing "Spy Kids" ever since we have seen the movie. They totally enjoyed it. In fact, this is the first movie that the four year old has sat through...

Pros: Good plot - funny

Cons: none

The Bottom Line: Good family movie - this could become a classic...

Review: The movie begins with a mother telling her children a bedtime story about two spies that met, fell in love, and had children ... happily ever after ...

The kids go to bed and we find the parents working on computers that were hidden inside the...

Pros: Very cute, great special effects. FUN movie to watch with your kids!!!!!

Cons: Spy Kids---shoes, backpacks, toys, clothes~~neverending:-)

The Bottom Line: Great fast paced movie with lots of imagination. Great spy gear, effects. Great movie to take your older kids to. Not for really small kids.

Review: My oldest son, Danny and I saw this movie Sunday at the local theatre. I never had seen the previews on television (don't get the chance for television too often). And I didn't know what to expect. I was in for a pleasant surprize.

...

Pros: Funny and action-packed, great gadgets, excellent kid (and adult) movie.

Cons: Not a lot

The Bottom Line: You’ll like this movie if you’re a fan of movies like “The Goonies” and “Harriet the Spy”. And unless you really hated these, you’ll like this one anyway.

Review: Who would have guessed that Robert Rodriguez, who directed shooting targets in El Mariachi and bloodthirsty vampires in From Dusk Till Dawn , would some day make a genuine family movie? Improbably as it may sound, with this movie...

Pros: good action, good language, all around good movie

Cons: none

The Bottom Line: More of this type of film, it's good family fare and has something for everyone.

Review: I took my grandchildren to this movie and expected to be bored right out of my mind. I was not only not bored but entertained to the max. The action is great and the way the kids act you can actually see them as real kids. The parents are also portrayed...
