November 6, 2011I get the feeling that at one point in Spy Kids the film makers tried to make these kids look cute and a bit more life like but somewhere I think they went wrong. Not as good as it puts itself out to be.

August 23, 2011usually critics judge kids movies by adult standars, but fans see kids movies for what they are. with spy kids, its the opposite. the critics get this movie, and fans are entirely too hard on it. a solid kids film that brings little ones into the same sort of fantasy that jame... read more

August 17, 2011A very enjoyable film, its fun and colorful. But like others said, maybe too kid friendly. The cast is funny and good, they picked the right kids for the movie. The plot may be a little ridiculous, but its perfect for kids, and it is Spy Kids. The action is the perfect mix fo... read more

July 7, 2011Carmen Cortez: Never send an adult to do a kid's job.
Spy Kids is too annoying to be enjoyed or find fun. From the two kids, Carmen and Juni to the thumb-whatever's. Carmen and Juni have to be the two most annoying kid characters ever, especially Carmen. Plain and simple, she's... read more -
January 13, 2011It was thought out very well, and is very different from most spy movies, because, as the title implies, the spys are the kids.

July 24, 2010Robert Rodriguez puts his blend of action into an original and energetic family film. Adults will like the action and kids will love every scene with Carmen and Juni, the spy kids. One of the best family films ever made.

Stephen Hunter, Washington Post
As a piece of almost dadaist filmmaking, Spy Kids is great fun with its continual spirit of invention. Full Review

James Berardinelli, ReelViews
A fine, relatively non-violent example of pure family entertainment. Full Review

Andy Seiler, USA Today
A good live-action children's movie -- a species so rare that many presumed it extinct. Full Review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
It's entertaining and inoffensive, a rare combination in kids' films, which are usually neither. Full Review

Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer
A delight for 7-year-olds, their parents, and James Bond diehards everywhere.
March 30, 2001
John Anderson, Newsday
A virtual eruption of special effects and sorcery, borrows a little here and a little there from a lot of espionage thrillers, which may amuse parents. Full Review

Lou Lumenick, New York Post
Doesn't feel like it rolled off a studio assembly line.

Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle
The adventures of the Cortez family have a casual multicultural feel that is welcome. Full Review
