Goofs

For a woman who has just had her husband threatened with immediate execution, Margot shows very little inclination whatsoever to run or contact the authorities during the heist, despite having numerous opportunities to foil them and seems really quite happy to co-operate to a level suggest a severe case of Stockholm Syndrome.

User Reviews

A movie that strikes a familiar note al Spy Kids

If you enjoyed the Spy Kids movies of a decade ago, than this movie is for you. Its a feel good movie, bringing together a family. Its generational and quirky.

The leads are perfectly cast. Each playing on their own strengths. From the macho male to the endearing pluck child, this show has it all.

Best watched with family, kids can suspend belief, but can be a guilty pleasure if its a quiet night at home you crave.
