Summary: Horrificly bad
Review: This is the most blatantly commercial and poorly written movie I have ever had the misfortune of laying my eyes on. This is a classic example of a how a movie tries to cover up that little thing called a plot with the modern glitz of special effects. I couldn't tell what the heck was going on half the time, and I kept wishing for the awful, predictable attempts at comedy to stop. The ad critics had made this movie out to be a 'hilarious, fun-filled family movie' but I soon realized what a pretentiously produced flick this really was.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: We love this movie!
Review: To keep it short and sweet, this movie was one of the most enjoyable kid movies I have ever seen! And we watch alot of kid movies! I think I enjoyed it as much as my kids, and we continue to watch it at home with as much enthusiasm as when it first came out. Great script, great acting. You should see this movie!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great for Preteens and the Young at Heart!
Review: Very cute movie. A child's version on 007. Lots of action and adventure. Not exactly a belivable plot line, but how many spy movies are truly believable? Great movie that the whole family can sit and watch.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good for kids
Review: There were some good lines and the characters are so cheesy that it's hard not to have fun with this flick. And I think it has a good message about family unity and working hard to keep families united. This is perfect for kids 6-12 and those adults like me that consider themselves to be cornballs.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I wouldn't even give this peice of junk 1 star...
Review: This whole movie was created with the same old cheesy and expectable lines and events all the children movies are. Don't get me wrong, children deserve movies they like too, but this is just worthless junk. How can movies get this stupid?! My step brother and sister saw this last summer & they came home saying it was sooo funny and cool, but it's lame. I can't even express how stupid this is. This movie should have NEVER been made, and these actors need to get some real roles, cos this storyline and plot sucks. Come on people, don't waste your time and money on this peice of (...), there's so many better movies out there. This whatever you wanna call it deserves to be burned and then some.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Luved it!
Review: I thought it was really great! Sure, it's kind of like a Pee-Wee Herman copout, but I thought it was great how they did it! (Antonio Banderas and all the Spanish lingo was a great, creative touch!)

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: great movie but dvd is lacking in features
Review: I saw Spy Kids in theaters at the request of my little bro and we both thoroughly enjoyed the experience. So it was no suprise when we picked up the DVD to relive a great movie. Unfortunately, the DVD version of spy kids is just that: the DVD version of Spy Kids. Besides the obligatory DVD features (captions, etc.), there's absolutely nothing but the bare-bones original movie on the disc. With such a great movie, you'd expect some cool interactive materials but instead all that is presented is a shoddy title screen. If you don't mind the quality of the movie all that much, figure on buying the VHS instead.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: My kids LOVED it!
Review: We didn't get a chance to see it at the theater, but when my kids saw it for sale on DVD, I couldn't pass up the chance to get it for them. They've watched it at least 5 times since we bought it. My only real complaint with the film, the little girl's hair changes color throughout the entire movie. Watch it closely and you'll notice it. It goes from dark black to light brown, and often. Strange... you would think someone would have caught that glitch. Also, didn't Floop remind anyone else of Pee Wee Herman? Anyways... I'd like to see a sequel/part 2 to this, just for kicks. My kids thought it was hilarious.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Another Robert Rodriguez HIT!
Review: From the production side of the movie, this was very well shot. It showed some traditional Robert Rodriguez "In Your Face" camera movements and editing style. The visual effects were clean and impressive. It looked very good considering his budget. The traditional Robert Rodriguez writing style was shown in this movie. The storyline was very fast-paced. Although it had some minor glitches, not a single second was wasted onscreen. I was surprised an hour and a half went by so fast. A good mix of action and humor, going back to his roots of making short family videos. Overall, an excellent film by RR and I can't wait for the final movie of his El Mariachi trilogy.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good But Not Unforgettable
Review: Parents will undoubtedly approve of this extremely enjoyable kids' romp that features no excessive violence, foul language or scary scenes. Newcomers Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara play two regular schoolkids who find themselves turning into international spies when their parents (Antonio Banderas and Carla Gugino) mysteriously disappear without a trace. It is then that the children discover that their parents are actually secret operatives and not the normal boring old mommy and daddy they thought they were. Robert Rodriguez' latest film is absolutely full of visual imagination and cool gadgets, but his plot does feel like it could use a little help. It's not a serious criticism, though, as the film is buoyantly fun and the kids perform exceptionally well.
