Classic movie has scary parts.

VIOLENCE, SCARINESS, AND GORE - People are turned into mutant creatures for a kid's TV show in the movie. The show also has a lot of fingers designed to look like humans. Might creep kids out. No blood. SEX, ROMANCE, AND NUDITY - A few kisses. LANGUAGE - A character almost says s**t but turns the word into 'shittake mushroom'.

Spy Kids

Pretty solid film, but there is one scene where the mom of the kids whispers into the dads ear to persuade him. This is a bit sexual.

Really Overrated

This movie is very boring and bad. The sister character is annoying and unlikable. This is one of the most overrated and boring movies I’ve ever seen.

yes

Spy Kids was my favorite movie as a kid, and I still love it today. I used to watch it all the time when I was younger. This movie has a lot of great role models. Yes, it's a little stupid, but overall it was very ahead of its time. It has good representation (strong female leads, Hispanic family) a good plot, and it's enjoyable to watch. I strongly recommend this movie for all ages. Some younger kids could be startled by the fooglies and they could not understand the plot.
