El Criticon (Antonio Méndez Casanova)

Un Robert Rodriguez en un registro mucho mÃ¡s familiar que sus obras precedentes pero igual de exuberante y rÃtmico en su sentido de la acciÃ³n cinematogrÃ¡fica, recayendo su elevada motilidad fÃlmica en un perspicaz uso del montaje y en un impetuoso ...read the complete Spy Kids movie review at El Criticon (Antonio Méndez Casanova)

TV Guide's Movie Guide (Maitland McDonagh)

Robert Rodriguez brings the same whiplash-inducing pace and ferocious energy that drove DESPERADO and FROM DUSK TILL DAWN to this gentler, but no less high-octane, escapade ...read the complete Spy Kids movie review at TV Guide's Movie Guide (Maitland McDonagh)

Jacksonville Film Journal (Shay Casey)

It's a blast of energy that one really can refer to (without the slightest hint of reservation) as 'good for the whole family.' ...read the complete Spy Kids movie review at Jacksonville Film Journal (Shay Casey)

Tempi Moderni

Il giovane regista Robert Rodriguez Ã¨ assunto alla notorietÃ con la sua opera prima del 1993 "El Mariachi", un film a basso costo che conobbe un successo internazionale. Da allora Rodriguez non ha confermato il suo ipotetico talento realizzando opere ...read the complete Spy Kids movie review at Tempi Moderni

cinEncanto (Pablo del Moral)

En "Mini EspÃas", conocemos a Carmen y Juni, avispados hijos de una pareja de ex-espÃas. Hace casi una dÃ©cada, sus padres fueron los mejores espÃas del mundo, trabajando para facciones opuestas, pero su enamoramiento, boda y consecuente condiciÃ³n de ...read the complete Spy Kids movie review at cinEncanto (Pablo del Moral)

Boxoffice Magazine

Billed as a James Bond movie for kids (and their parents), "Spy Kids" begins on the grand scale it maintains throughout with an overhead shot that sweeps over the ocean to a seaside castle and into the bedroom window of young siblings Carmen (Alexa ...read the complete Spy Kids movie review at Boxoffice Magazine

Xi-online (Sven Gerrets)

Rodriguez goes Intertoys, dat is wel zoâ��n beetje de kortste samenvatting van de film die je kunt bedenken. Omdat hij bekend staat om zijn gewelddadige films, konden de kleine kindertjes van de regisseur nooit zien waarom papa bekend was, en dus ...read the complete Spy Kids movie review at Xi-online (Sven Gerrets)

De ouders lopen regelrecht in de val van meesterbrein Floop en ze worden gevangen genomen. Nu is het de beurt aan Juni en Carmen ( Daryl Sabara & Alexa Vega), want hun oom legt alles uit en vertelt wie hun ouders werkelijk zijn.

Cinema 2000 (Eurico de Barros; João Lopes)

Robert Rodriguez resvalou, infelizmente, para modo infanto-juvenil. Em Â«Spy KidsÂ», Banderas e Carla Gugino (de Â«Os SopranosÂ») interpretam um casal de espiÃµes internacionais retirados que regressam Ã actividade, mas acabam em maus lenÃ§Ã³is e tÃªm ...read the complete Spy Kids movie review at Cinema 2000 (Eurico de Barros; João Lopes)

Gregorio and Ingrid Cortez (Antonio Banderas and Carla Gugino) were once the ultimate spies that everybody wanted, dead or alive. Nowadays though, they have retired from the business, have desk jobs as consultants, and have two sprightly kids Carmen and ...read the complete Spy Kids movie review at mazzyboi's movie page (Angelo Aquino)

Washington Post (Desson Thomson)

I hate to look a gift-horse in the mouth. How often do you get ambitiously mounted movies for young viewers? Robert Rodriguez's "Spy Kids," a spin on such family entertainments as "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang," by way of James Bond, is energetic and slickly ...read the complete Spy Kids movie review at Washington Post (Desson Thomson)

Seattle Post-Intelligencer (William Arnold)

Over at Miramax this morning, they're popping the corks over "Spy Kids," a kiddie adventure their analysts tell them will be the box-office king of the spring. In fact, they're so absolutely sure of this movie that a sequel is already in production. ...read the complete Spy Kids movie review at Seattle Post-Intelligencer (William Arnold)
