Spy Kids (2001)
Prior to their retirement nine years ago, Gregorio (Banderas) and Ingrid (Gugino) were the two greatest secret agents the world had ever known. Now, as the two are called back to duty, their adventures put them into such danger that the only two people who can rescue them (and maybe the world) are their children! Sometimes the biggest heroes are the smallest ones. (Miramax)

I would like to have some SPY KIDS with Carla Gugino! If you know what I mean! Do you know what I mean! I'm talking about sexual intercourse

An embarrassment as an adaptation of the I Spy book series. The titular spy kids are almost always clearly seen and often are even in center frame. No child would have trouble picking them out from the other characters or background. Pathetic.

Rather than make a movie that he thinks kids would like, Rodriguez makes a movie that he feels a kid would have made. That's the charm of this movie series.

Really adorable family flick, though I'd never been dissapointed by Robert Rodriguez so it wasn't surprising.
Carmen and Juni, having just learned that their parents are missing, AND they're spies must forget about sibling rivalry and pull it together to save their parents, and- in a sense- the world.
Good story. Original, at least. Nice performances all around. I especially enjoyed those of Tony Shalhoub, Alan Cumming and newcomer Daryl Sabara.
Note: This is the only movie in the

I like Robert Rodriguez. He is one of my favorite directors. I applaud his desire to make films for his children to see. And really, all in all, this is not a bad film, I just don't like it nearly as much as his other work. My children love it though, so on their recomendation I gave it an extra 20 points.

I'm waiting for the ultra-violent "director's cut" in which the kids kill everyone with guitar-shaped shotguns and then ride off into the sunset.

Actually not bad. Too bad Disney made the same movie, changed spies to superheroes, and called it The Incredibles.

man, there are a ton of really low scores for this movie. jesus fuck people ... were you expecting a cannes-worthy film here?!?! i have seen this a number of times because of my son, and it's good enough that i can sit through it without thinking of hari kiri or something just as unpleasant. obviously not one of Rodriguez' movies to list in the canon of well-done films, but he manages to get enough goofy charm out of banderas to make this movie enjoyable enough for the adults.

This kinda clicked with me. Despite being squarely a commercial "family film" it never inspires contempt; Rodriguez's engaging story is a bit by-the-numbers emotionally but should connect equally well with kids who like to play secret agent and adults who have a taste for the surreal and silly. At its best it's like what would happen if Bob Clampett had ever taken a crack at a feature film.

Watch this. And keep in mind it takes place in the same universe as Machete and Kill Bill. FACT.
