7/10
A satisfying sequel with its heart in the right place.
21 August 2002
This was a very satisfying sequel to "Spy Kids". Even though I enjoyed the first film just a little bit more, "Spy Kids 2" thoroughly entertained me, my wife and my three children. As a parent, I appreciated how Carmen and Juni were in perilous situations, but it never felt like they were in deadly danger. I also enjoyed the overall message that family unity, love and respect is always important. Kudos to Mr. Rodriguez for including Ricardo Montalban and Holland Taylor. They were cool and funny! And is it any coincidence that the Cortez kids, their parents and their grandparents are all good-looking? I don't think so! Let's just say that the presence of Antonio Banderas (for my wife) and Carla Gugino (for me) made the movie that much more pleasant to watch. :) My family looks forward to spying on the further exploits of the Cortez family next year in "Spy Kids 3"!
