Spy Kids

With movies like From Dusk Till Dawn and Desperado on his resume, Robert Rodriguez doesn't appear to have the best credentials to handle a kids' film. However, with the extremely enjoyable Spy Kids, he's made one of the better offerings in the genre in recent memory. The story is deceptively simple: Gregorio Cortez (Banderas) and his wife Ingrid (Gugino) are the world's best spies. But when they're kidnapped, it's up to their feisty kids, Carmen (Vega) and Juni (Sabara) to free them from the clutches of the evil Fegan Floop (a delightfully camp Cumming). Brimming with sparking gags, super action scenes, and great performances, Spy Kids is a delight for both kids and adults alike. Hugely enjoyable.
