Review of Spy Kids (2001) by Kai82 — 06 Mar 2023
A spy comedy / family movie. It takes itself not that serious and just wants to entertain. This works well for me. The story is about the retired top spies Gregorio and Ingrid Cortez who have retired and are happily married with children.
However they never told their kids about their past days as spies. One day they are called back into action and this starts the events of the movie. I am avoiding spoilers here. The story is humorous and entertains from start to finish.
A lot comes from the strong cast and I will just praise all characters. Special bonus for Danny Trejo ;-). The humor is spot on and I laughed a lot during the movie. I want to praise the creativity and the up to eleven spy gadgets.
Even Q from James Bond will be jealous. The effects looked good back then but I am not sure how those hold up. Overall I give an 8/10 and recommend it for its fun entertainment. Might not be art or an all time classic but don't needs to be.
