Film Information
While Robert Rodriguez's spy movies were based on a playful conceit, their lasting legacy is far more important than their initial reputation. The Spy Kids franchise was massively important for its well-executed representation and diversity that Rodriguez made a central theme of the series.
Nine years ago, top international spies Gregorio (Antonio Banderas) and Ingrid Cortez (Carla Gugino) traded the excitement of espionage for the adventure of parenthood. But when they're called out on a secret mission, the Cortezes are separated from their family and kidnapped by the evil Fegan Floop (Alan Cumming). Now it's up to their kids, Carmen (Alexa PenaVega) and Juni (Daryl Sabara), to set off on a mission to save their parents... and maybe even the world.
Reviews
"As a piece of almost dadaist filmmaking, Spy Kids is great fun with its continual spirit of invention." –The Washington Post
