Feat. Antonio Banderas, Carla Gugino, Cheech Marin, Teri Hatcher, Daryl Sabara

Aroview: Smashing kidult adventure, in which action dir. Rodriguez lends his action talents to a James Bond-type tale with a twist: Antonio Banderas and Carla Gugino are captured spy-parents whose two children must come to the rescue.

Distinguished in most departments - an inventive script, realistically squabbling siblings and crafted action set-pieces.

3 stars (Good Enough) Two top secret agents fall for each other, retire and have children. However, are called back to duty only to be captured by an evil techno-wizard - and it's up to their kids to save them. Good family adventure. ~GenXGirl

3 stars (Good Enough) I can only guess that Rodriguez was making this for his kids - because it's so not him in almost every way. But nonetheless, there is a lot to like for the kids and family, if it's a little cartoonish most of the time. ~Tom H

3 stars (Good Enough) This is very creative film is enjoyable is for a young audience, but does not have much appeal for older viewers. ~dr.strangelove

4 stars (Very Good) Wholesome family action movie, but some of the stuff in it is pretty dark. Leans toward "zany" & slapstick. If it wasn't Robert Rodriguez I probably wouldn't have liked it as much. ~Truant

2 stars (Good Try) Should appeal to children - plenty of action and the gadgetry is good. ~Tubbs
