User Reviews

Just OK

Similar to "Spy Kids," this movie features 3 kids who are good at espionage, martial arts, hacking, and masterminding complicated plans. Most of their pranks, such as orchestrating a food fight at school, are harmless until they get involved in a plot to steal top-secret government files and so the movie is about them trying to recover the stolen information.

Since it's every kid's (and a few adults) dream to be a secret agent, this movie will probably occupy its target audience fairly well. However, the acting was really bad, the character development was non-existent, and the special effects weren't very special for a 2005 movie. It's also entirely unbelievable, but I expected that.

Basically, it just falls flat. It will not go down in history as a great movie, nor spin-off into a TV show, nor be the next "must buy" DVD. It just wasn't anything special. I did like the ending, though.

So, if your expectations are low, and you just want a fun, family-friendly movie to occupy your 7-year-old, go for it. You'll enjoy it. But otherwise, I wouldn't recommend.
