Carmen and Juni think their parents are boring. Little do they know that in their day, Gregorio and Ingrid Cortez were the top secret agents from their respective countries. They gave up that life to raise their children. Now, the disappearances of several of their old colleagues forces the Cortez' return from retirement. What they didn't count on was Carmen and Juni joining the "family business."

Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Fulfills kids' empowerment fantasies and features enough techno-wizardry and cool f/x to satisfy those weaned on videogames.

In terms of its family ethos, this makes an interesting comparison with the Addams Family films.

As a piece of almost dadaist filmmaking, Spy Kids is great fun with its continual spirit of invention.

A good live-action children's movie -- a species so rare that many presumed it extinct.
