Spy Kids

Consider your kid carefully with this one. My ten year old, who is not a particularly fearful kid but has a very vivid imagination, was extremely disturbed by the mutant creatures in this (the idea of people being mutated in that way and used as kid show props while begging for help in distorted voices) to the point where he had a hard time going to bed afterwards. The almost-swearing didn't bother us, and I thought it was better than average in many other ways, despite a lot of corny cartoonish action and dialogue. The kids were enthralled by all the gadgetry, and the Incredibles-type family. Product placement is a Big Mac and fries early on (with golden arches briefly visible).

Weird movie. Your kids may be freaked out because of some weird scenes with mutants. There is also some fighting, explosions and action. One character almost uses the word "sh-t"

I was about 11 or 12 when this movie came out and I remember that I liked it back then. It came on TV recently so I watched it for old times sake. It. Has. Not. Aged. Well. At. All. Very strange plot line involving a “toy craze” used to brain wash children. The acting isn’t good. The CGI is so dated that there are modern made for TV movies that look better. Kids might enjoy it but it’s not enjoyable for adults (or at least for me). It’s just another mindless childhood movie.

This film seems to have the right idea of wanting to have a family adventure film that focuses on the importance of family at the same time as the Fast and the Furious. However there are parts of this film that are super creepy and that I felt compelled to taking a star away. Those Fooglies!!! They are the things that nightmares are made of I mean seriously Rodríguez! WTH! Cumming is charming enough and Shalhoub is having a lot of fun but it is Trejo and Banderas (especially together) that come out shining, a pleasure to watch Machete work!

It was a little scary for a six year old

I was really disappointed in this movie. The sister is horrible to her brother (calling him names and generally giving him constant attitude); not good role models at all. Also, the monsters in this movie are really weird/creepy looking and could be scary for young viewers.
