The Spy Next Door (2010)

If IMDB would let you give negitave ratings I would give this a -100,000,000,000 it's so corny dumb and overall just plain out stupid and bad worst movie ever so babyish I don't even know who this movie was made for 2 day old? Because anyone older than that SHOULD agree that this movie sucks Ass

Jackie Chan is a secret agent on loan to the US, looking forward to retirement while fostering a burgeoning relationship with single mother Amber Valletta and her 3 children who, predictably, don't like him This standard romantic comedy plot benefits greatly from the Chan touch, which adds a lot of witty action in the manner we have become used to over the years, albeit a little slower (or, perhaps, with the camera cranked at normal speed rather than undercranked). Amber Valletta has a pleasing and credible presence, and the baddies are entertaining caricatures. Of the children, the two girls do well but the lad overacts badly in a part which is badly written.We greatly enjoyed this, laughing out loud several times and smiling solidly throughout.

Are people sniffing glue these days? Terrible, terrible excuse for a movie. Its not OK to excuse this as good old fashioned family entertainment. If you do, you are committing child abuse and I want to report you to the authorities. The characters are all completely unlikable, one-dimensional and above all, one hundred percent idiotic. Not one line of dialogue feels right, not one single scene worked at all. The mother is a complete imbecile and the children all deserve a punch in the face. Poor Jackie Chan needed some money, that is the only reason he was in this - and not to entertain your little dimbulb rugrats who couldn't tell the difference between a good movie and static in the first place. There are hundreds of great family films out there to expose your kids to. This is not one of them. Demand more out of your entertainment and maybe your kids won't grow up to be so stupid. If that makes you mad or offends you, then you're probably to blame.

This is a very silly movie, but I quite enjoyed it. Jackie Chan doesn't do the crazy dangerous stunts he used to, but his brand of comedic martial arts is still entertaining. The kids are reasonably realistic, with only one being somewhat annoying precocious. There are some nice bits, like a running joke involving a criminal's wardrobe. The story doesn't make a lot of sense, especially since the McGuffin of the film would probably be far more lucrative in cleaning up the environment than for the impractical purpose the bad guys have in mind, but this movie isn't supposed to be anything more than a cute silly movie, and I thought it succeeded in that admirably.
