VHS Movie Reviews of Spy Kids (P&S) [VHS]
Movie Review: Good for the family
Summary: 3 Stars
Not a bad little movie for kids entertainment. Silly, but I'll bet you think it's awesome if you're 10 years old.Movie Review: A Boost For The 'Family Unit'
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a silly kids' adventure story but still fun the younger ones and for adults, thanks to colorful scenes, great special effects, decent humor and a nice family tone to it. The kids are alright, except the girl is a little bossy, and the villains aren't too nasty.
This also looks very good on DVD. I suspect it would look tremendous with a sharp Blu-Ray transfer. Included in the color and characters are "the thumb people" who were especially fun to watch.
The only problem I found with it is the last 30 minutes in which it got too silly and emphasized (typical Hollywood) how the kids can do the job better than the adults, which a ludicrous film clich?. However, overall "family unity" gets a big boost in this here, even in the end, and that good message is probably a big reason this movie was such a success.
Movie Review: spy kids
Summary: 4 Stars
I must admit i didnt think i would like this HOW WRONG WAS I ,this is such a good movie i would suggest that anyone who hasnt seen it do so NOW.
The story concerns the two children of former secret agents who are now living a normal life when their parents are kidnapped the kids are told by the 'Uncle'that they have to save them
cue 90 minutes of great comedy effects driven filmmaking from Robert Rodriguez a veritable 1 man band-he wrote and directed the movie edited and produced and even wrote some of the music ,the two juvenile leads are great and so is Alan Cumming as the bad guy who turns goos there are also great turns from Robert Patrick and Teri Hatcher and the action whizzes by and it really is one of those movies you wish were 20 minutes longer.
Movie Review: My 3.5 y.o. daughter LOVES this movie!
Summary: 3 Stars
This movie really keeps my daughters attention and HAS now for over a month. That is saying a lot when you consider how easily distracted she is. LOL
One thing to keep in mind as a parent though, is the older sister is really mean to the younger brother. So I wouldn't call them good role models.
That said, it's an entertaining story.
Movie Review: What was Rodriguez thinking?
Summary: 1 Stars
I thought both Desperado and From Dusk Till Dawn were great ground-breaking films. Then I seen a commercial for Spy Kids (when it was released), I thought it was the dumbest looking film on earth, then I heard Robert Rodriguez was responsible for it and I lost a bit of respect for him. Not only did he cast two extremely annoying children to play the lead roles, but he mis-casted people he usually works with, Antonio Banderas??? Playing the father of two extremely white children with red hair???? Who the heck could buy that? Cheech and Trejo both in this film??? Why would you mis-use these actors in such a way? It's a nice gesture to put them in your films but it just doesn't work no matter how you put it. I think he did this more for the money than anything else. I'm sure many people don't take him as serious as they once did because of stupid movies like this one.
Summary of Spy Kids (P&S) [VHS]
Carmen and Juni Cortez will soon find out that their favorite bedtime story, "The Spies Who Fell in Love," is really the story of their parents. So begins this affable fantasy, a James Bond adventure for wee ones with all the trimmings. When Dad and Mom (Antonio Banderas and Carla Gugino) mess up their first mission after coming out of retirement, their kids must come to the rescue, equipped with some cool gadgets. The Cortez family gets involved in a bizarre plot hatched by a Pee-wee Herman-type entertainer named Fegan Floop (a wonderfully hammy Alan Cumming) that's as giddy as it is ridiculous. Needless to say there is plenty of derring-do concerning long-lost uncles, goofy monsters, double agents, evil robots, look-alikes, and energized chases. Did we mention the gadgets? Although Banderas and Gugino make terrific impressions, the movie is carried (as it should be) by the younger Cortezes, winningly played by Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara. Who would have thought an action/horror studio (Dimension) and writer-director Robert Rodriguez had this pleasing family film up their sleeves? Rodriquez (who produced with his wife Elizabeth Avell?n) seemed to be mired in cheesy horror films but here breaks out by capitalizing on the talent that gave him instant status with his debut, El Mariachi (1992). Spy Kids has plenty of verve but never swerves into potty humor (OK, there is one good potty joke) or wicked gunplay. All 7-year-olds should have a film as fun as this in their movie-going lives. --Doug ThomasEspionage Video
