...Took the family (5 year old son, 2.5 year old daughter) to see Sky Kids 4 today..
Speaking as an adult who saw all 3 of the original SPY KIDS movies in the theatre, this is easily the worst of the series. Joel Mchale (who i have actually become a fan of based off his THE SOUP and COMMUNITY work), Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara give some incredibly bad performances. Embarrassingly-so. Jessica Alba does what Jessica Alba does (thank the Gods she's cute and met Robert Rodriguez), and Jeremy Piven....actually i liked Piven. His character had an interesting story- arc, and he gives a solid performance.
Some of Ricky Gervais' one-liners were funny, too.
The rest of the film was pretty unbearable.
However, speaking as a parent who was out hoping to show his kids a good time, i actually have to give this movie a solid rating. My 2 kids enjoyed the heck out of it, from the talking dog to the baby decking a bad guy, the kids loved it. And my son had a lot of fun keeping track of when to engage the AROMASCOPE scratch card.
A nice film for younger families, i think.

Like Jaws 4 and Superman IV: The Quest For Peace. Spy Kids 4 or "Spy Kids: All The Time In The World" is a Franchise killer. Although it was a moderate financial success against its $27 million budget. It is such a poor movie, it ended any interest in any future movies.
Mason Cook (in his first movie) and Rowan Blanchard (in her 2nd) are not as annoying as most child actors and are certainly cute enough, but they lack the chemistry that Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabra had in the first three movies.
So Jessica Alba is pretty much left to carry the movie on her own. She tries hard but the movie is missing some of the charm and magic that made the first movies so likable. It also misses the talents of Antonio Banderas and Carla Gugino.
I give it 4/10 1 for Alba, 1 for Vega. 1 for Sarba, and 1 for the kids
I'm sure most kids will like it, mine certainly enjoyed it, just not as much as the original three.

One of the most Awaited Movies of the year and it surely delivers. The idea of time being sped up is really well thought of by the director and come honestly how many $d movies have you seen Off lately. The added dimension to the movie of Aromascope is basically smell and you have to experience it its totally fun. The movie is fast paced and gripping and all the character do justice to their roles. The chemistry between Jessica Alba and the new spy kids is very endearing whereas Jeremy piven plays his part amazingly well. The movie is well justified keeping in mind the target audience and assures to entertain kids as well as adults. Totally worth a watch
Yes, Robert hasn't lost his touch. When a man has that much talent and imagination, you wonder how long he can keep it up. He is a genius, and I don't use that word lightly. He has invented a new kind of movie here, with the spy kids series. A movie that empowers children instead of what Hollywood has always done with children's movies. The spy kids movies are a refreshing change and I'm glad to see it continuing. The first three were ground breaking and very special. I was so glad to see that this one lives up to that. Although not as good as the first two, which were superb, I rate it about the same as the third one. It may be hard for some to embrace the new cast, which happens every time a new James Bond is cast. I think everyone is just as likable as the originals. Reviews that cut down the acting, plot or whatever don't understand what Rodriguez has done. This movie, as with the other three, is for children and people who love children. If you don't consider yourself in one of those categories then you won't get it.
Spy Kids: All the Time in the World in 4D
When you've got two active adolescent agents in your home, you've got to ensure you have plenty of Flintstones Cyanide Pills on hand.
Fortunately, the step mom in this family adventure is an ex-intelligencer.
Trading in her cloak and dagger for diapers, femme fatale turned housewife Marissa (Jessica Alba) is called back into action after the villainous Timekeeper (Jeremy Piven) begins to steal time.
But when the Timekeeper targets her stepchildren (Rowan Blanchard, Mason Cook), Marissa must divulge her past, which ultimately leads to their tutelage under a former Spy Kid (Alexa Vega).
Now, the new recruits and their robot dog (Ricky Gervais) must stop the Timekeeper before it's too late.
The fourth installment of the Spy Kids franchise, All the Time in the World is a fart infused, infantile, chroma keyed atrocity.
Besides, as an undercover child agent, wouldn't most of your assignments involve you luring in online predators? (Red Light)
