An early Hollywood cash-grab, clearly riding of the success and cult surrounding the original Spy Kids trilogy. Lost all the charm the originals had, and the surprisingly good child actors of the first 3 films, have been replaced by the blatantly terrible child actors in this one. The humour went from quite witty, with some elements for adults too; to the expected toilet-humour you get from and lazy kids film. The beauty of the originals, was that they weren't rated 'U' for kids, they were 'U' for everyone. Anyone could watch the originals, whereas this can only be watched by children not smart enough to understand why they're seeing.

What can I say, after lots of effects that clearly is cheaply made - lots of poop, puke and slime jokes, it only goes downhill.First of all, no one seem to have a brain - which is to expected for a kids movie, but do we have to sink so low ?The father keeps saying he have never caught a spy, I guess it is supposed to make you laugh, as his wife is a spy - OK, wait, she is a former spy.Tons of boring, really boring, time jokes. However, times don't fly when you see the movie, or does it ? because all clocks spins like crazy.So what happens when the time runs out - when no more time left ? Absolutely nonsense concept - but it justify that a bad guy can wear a clock helmet to cover his face. Wow....OK, as we are kids, lets just throw all the food on the floor - lets be good examples too other kids.

This is definitely the worst spy kids movie ever made and 1 of the worst of all movies. The scenery was too boring or twisted. What is with a spy baby, a spy dog, and a villain who doesn't know what he was doing until the kids showed him the real truth? The kids who played the spy kids didn't even go on a mission until the last 20 minutes of the movie to experience being spies. The father was creepy showing an eye brow look to his son to look tough and his show was dumb. How dare filmmakers imitate a similar home to where The Cortezes lived in! Acting was poor. Same goes for the gadgets. What was ironic was the new spy kids looked much younger than the original spy kids, when they started being spies. I think this was just a movie to laugh at how poor of a job it was made.

In one of the most surprising happenings that occurred to me, I found out that I actually liked the fourth installment in the Spy Kids franchise for the most part. The first two films are definitely better but this is way better than the horrid third film. I guess I liked this film because it brought back so many memories from my childhood. That was true when Carmen and Juni appeared on screen. I know the acting was cheesy and there were plenty of potty humor, but I couldn't bring myself to hate this film.Robert Rodriguez's film is about an evil guy who is bent on making time go faster so a retired spy and her kids are recruited to turn time back to normal.As I mentioned earlier, the acting is kind of cheesy. Jessica Alba is pretty good and is quite nice on the eyes. The kids are decent even though they say some weird stuff. Ricky Gervais makes an awesome dog with his voice.Overall, this is a decent film but I can see why many people despised it. Despite my thumbs up, I think it's time for this franchise to hit the bucket as I can see some wear and tear. This film wasn't even asked for in the first place but it's a nice distraction for the kids. It doesn't have the great visuals as the earlier films, but it wont matter to the kids. I rate this film 7/10.
