Edward Porter Times (UK) [The film has a] jaunty spirit and a few bits of weirdness worthy of Roald Dahl. Aug 22, 2022 Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media Just the right combination of fantasy and comedy. Rated: 4/5 Dec 28, 2010 Full Review Lael Loewenstein Variety Fulfills kids' empowerment fantasies and features enough techno-wizardry and cool f/x to satisfy those weaned on videogames. Mar 27, 2009 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand [Director Robert] Rodriguez... has a real affinity with kids and fills their odyssey with such real world hurdles as sibling rivalry and lack of self confidence in addition to the wicked supervillains, enemy spies, and double agents. Aug 20, 2023 Full Review Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault It’s considerably colorful and entertaining while it spins in front of you; it’s also almost immediately forgettable. Rated: B+ Sep 3, 2022 Full Review Rosa Parra Latinx Lens A fun, entertaining spy movie that feels universal in terms of action-adventure but yet manages to feel relatable to a specific demographic. Still holds up years after its release. Rated: 4/5 Jul 3, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member FLOOP IS A MADMAN HELP US SAVE US! FLOOP IS A MADMAN HELP US SAVE US! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/29/24 Full Review Hargie M Where the spy gadgets are more believable than the storyline. It's like Mission: Implausible for the elementary school set. Get ready for a wild ride of kids outsmarting adults while adults out-acting the kids. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/02/24 Full Review Leandro T Its a good movie... A lot of the scenes were over the top and the kids spy vibe is a bit weird, but I think that this is a great kids movie. If you're an adult reading this then sure, some of the parts you might find a bit stupid, but i don't see why audiences didn't like it more. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/11/24 Full Review Emery A It's such a generic and silly spy film, with a caricatured and exaggerated villain, that it doesn't entertain, but the adventure in the middle manages to entertain enough to hold a child, but not every child will like it. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/24 Full Review Nate C Sleeping is way better Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/04/24 Full Review Zaul M It's alright, I guess.
