Summary: TERRIBLE
Review: This is the worst film I've ever put my eyes on. As a matter of fact, I didn't even want to see this hunk of garbage in the first place. If it wasn't for my niece to make me see this..., I would have never seen it. This movie is very childish and ignorant. It is very immature. If I were you, I would never even think about seeing this movie. It is horrible.

Summary: Cute Kid Story.
Review: Nicely done, a little on the corny side, they really didn't need the Pee Wee Herman clone to carry it off.

Summary: Spy Kids!
Review: Spy Kids is the best movie I ever heard. Mom he's mimicking me, Mom he's mimicking me. Floop was trying to get people to be characters of his show just so he can make his show popular. I want to see Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams. In 2003 there is going to be a Spy Kids 3. I wonder what is called.

Summary: In my top 5 of 2001!
Review: GENERAL: Spy Kids is truly a delight, not offensive at all and can be watched over and over again. This movie exceeded my expectations by so much that I bought it. One of the best films in a long time.
ACTING: Wow, Alex Vega and Daryl Sabara knocked me over with their pro performences. The bounce off each other perfectly, and really seem like siblings. The rest of the supporting(adult) cast is great too- 100% flawless.
PLOT: Original and gripping, this is the entertaining story of two children whos parents are captured- while on a spy mission, which the kids have no idea about. Now the kids(Carmen and Juni) have to save their parents and the world from a creative madman.
HUMOR: Wonderful, I laughed hundreds of times during this film and have done so all 10+ times I have seen the movie since.
SPECIAL EFFECTS: This movie has a brand of special effects all it's own, completely original and convincing. A breath of fresh after the doses of metallic Star Wars CGI.
MUSIC: The score, by the director, is beautiful and original. Completely perfect, something that I will never forget. Worth buying the soundtrack.
SPECIAL FEATURES: This is one of the most bare-bones DVDs I've ever seen, terrible for such a great movie! Unless of course all you want is (dun dun dun dun) a trailer!
CONCLUSION: A wonderul family/comedy/thriller, great for anyone and memorable. Spy Kids is definitely worth buying on DVD, if only for the lasting sound quality and picture clarity.
MY GRADE: A+

Summary: Made for children
Review: My son enjoyed the movie. The only version he saw in the theatres was the special edition and, unless I missed something, the sharks were not in this video. He was rather disappointed.It is definitely a "kids only" movie. Rather immature in many aspects. One question I still have...why didn't she just put on a wig?

Summary: What a waste of time.
Review: When I first saw 'Spy Kids', I was thirteen and not aloud to see The Jennifer Love Hewitt comedy 'Heartbreakers'. Since these were the only two movies playing at the tiny, small-town movie theater I where I was planning to spend the afternoon, me and a friend suffered through what seemed like an eternity of boring jokes, annoying characters and anti-climactic scenes. We both concluded that Spy Kids is a plot-less kiddy acid-trip.
Spy Kids stars Antonio Banderas, Carla Gugino, Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara as the dysfunctional Cortez family. The parents of which (unbeknownst to their bratty children) are spies. Well, on an assignment to the mind-bending abode of a creepy children's show host they disappear, and their children, snobby Carmen and insecure Juni, step in to save them and ultimately do. But not before nearly killing the audience with their disagreeable personalities and incessant bickering.
Spy Kids is so over-the-top with creepy situations and delusional, fantasy-like scenarios that it's hard to imagine children liking or even understanding this movie. And between Alan Cumming's eerie character and the machine that turns people into disfigured monsters it certainly isn't for children who scare easily.
In fact the whole movie has a very sinister feel to it, with a differant plot and characters this movie could qualify as a horror movie or atleast a thriller. Fegan Floops' (Alan Cummings) bizarre Muppet-inspired monsters reminded me of Willy Wonka's Oompa-Loompas, except less attractive and more bizarre. In fact these two movies are a little bit similar, except that 'Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory' is good and 'Spy Kids' is anything but.
In short, Spy Kids is a complete waste of money. It's a [poor] excuse for a movie and as I've said, a complete waste of time.

Summary: Great Family Movie!
Review: This movie is great for the whole family. The children will love seeing peers being spies. Great family relationship. Special effects aren't the best. Wacky plot, again, great for the whole family

Summary: didnt catch my eye
Review: Honestly, I laughed about 2 times. I've laughed more times on Men In Black 2 and I saw the ratings. Oviously some of you didn't like it. Anywayz, I don't think Spy Kids 2 would interest me either. Don't get me wrong, I love action movies, but that movie stunk.

Summary: A Great Kids Movie (young kids & grown-up kids)
Review: This is a wonderful movie for the whole family. There's no sexual immorality, no sexual innuendos, virtually no profanity, and all the violence is very comic bookish (in other words no more graphic than the first "Star Wars Trilogy"). The film boasts far better acting than any kids' movie I've seen in a long, long time. Furthermore, this movie features two wonderful parents that are faithful to each other, hard working, and are there for their kids when they need them. (Not quite Hollywood's typical portrayal of American moms and dads!) I've been surprised by the number of people who have complained about the "bathroom humor" in this movie. Actually, that kind of humor is virtually non-existent in this one. The only attempt of that kind in the movie is when the two kids are in the super-speedy sub (or whatever-the-heck that thing was), Carmen the 11-year-old girl is asleep, and her younger brother (about 8) just finished doing his business, and the computerized toilet says, "now flushing your poop". It's natural for kids to wonder whether their heroes ever go to the john during their adventures. When I was younger, I too wondered whether Han Solo and Chewbacca had a bathroom on board the Millenium Falcon. This kind of "bathroom humor" is very tame compared to the kind of humor found in movies like "Shrek" and "The Lion King". The other part where it is accused of "bathroom humor" is when the two kids are sneaking into the bad guys' fortress. They do this via an underwater secret entrance. Being underwater they are, of course, wearing wet suits. The boy comments that the water feels warmer, and the girl replies that it's because she just peed. If you look at this in proper context, consider that earlier in the film the parents state that one of the children (later revealed that it's the daughter) still wears diapers at night due to bedwetting. If this girl has any kind of bladder control problems, then obviously she is going to have an "accident" at some point in the film. And forgive my saying it this way, but what better place to have an accident than underwater? (This may also be an attempt by the filmmakers to provide a role model for children who suffer from bedwetting.) I give it four stars instead of five because of a scene in which the girl almost says the S-word and says "shittake mushrooms" instead. This is what I would call inappropriate humor and totally unnecessary in this film. Overall, this film is enjoyable entertainment with nothing to be embarrassed about or ashamed of watching. It's just good, clean fun and marks one of those rare occasions in which Hollywood actually does something right.
