Spy Kids: All the Time in the World Spy Kids: All the Time in the World
2011 Directed by Robert Rodriguez
Synopsis
Eight years after the third film, the OSS has become the world's top spy agency, while the Spy Kids department has since become defunct. A retired spy Marissa (Jessica Alba) is thrown back into the action along with her stepchildren when a maniacal Timekeeper (Jeremy Piven) attempts to take over the world. In order to save the world, Rebecca (Rowan Blanchard) and Cecil (Mason Cook) must team up with their hated stepmother. Carmen and Juni have since also grown up and will provide gadgets to them.

I lost all interest in the Spy Kids series about halfway through the first film and, despite having now seen all four of them, I could not tell you the plot to any of them (and yes that does include the one I watched no more than ten minutes ago). I still can’t believe this has got to four films, particularly because I’ve never met anybody who actually likes them. This time there is a whole new gang of Spy Kids take up the reins (although the now grown-up originals do make an appearance).
This is just like the others with lots of really bad jokes (Ricky Gervais voicing a talking dog is particularly irritating), exaggerated but dull action set…

After reading a few reviews from some of the more esteemed members of Letterboxd, I was expecting this to be awful but it wasn't.
The Spy Kids film series took a bit of a dive with number three, number four doesn't reach the heights of the first two films but is much better than the previous installment.
We are introduced to two new Spy Kids who are decent enough, they don't have the charm or charisma as the originals but nor would I want them to be carbon copies. Their pregnant Spy stepmom is played by Jessica Alba who is introduced in an odd sequence which sees her chasing the villain whilst her contractions start. It's a very strange opening.…

Was better than what I thought it was going to be after the dreadful film that was Spy Kids 3.
I really enjoyed the first two, I watched this with an open mind and have to admit it was good. Not as good as the first and second Spy Kids but beats anything that Spy Kids 3 had to offer

SHUT UP I LIKED IT.

"Coolest spy mom ever!"
...yes, that's an actual quote from the film.
The appeal of the Spy Kids has finally run dry. The fourth film features a colour-by-numbers plot and way, way, way too much scatological humor for anyones taste. It's a shame that Robert Rodriguez didn't have this advancement of special effects today, back in 2001. The film does look great (that is, in line with the aesthetics of Spy Kids films). For fans of the franchise, there are definite moments of nostalgia when Carmen and Juni come back. But for that, and the occasional laughs scattered through-out, it's not worth watching.
A kids movie to the fullest extent, Spy Kids 4 may be a dazzle to children, but a complete bore to adults, even to fans of the franchise like myself.

This isn't even a good kids film. Silly sound cues. Flat line reads. And too many puns to be taken as anything more than one overlong fart joke. I mean doody joke.

It's been 8 years since the last Spy Kids movie (only a few minutes since I watched it with my kids), and a lot had to change. New kids, new family, though the premise is pretty much the same. It's inevitable comparing the two sets of kids, and I must say I missed Juni and Carmen. Cecil and Becky are not bad, but to me they're just enthusiastic child actors, they lacked distinctive personality. I also didn't much care for the parents, though it had been a long time since I watched a Jessica Alba movie (Fantastic Four 2 in 2007, I love that I can quickly look this up on letterboxd).
The villain was better, Jeremy Piven is a…

Yeah Alba is hot, but she is pretty bad in this. Piven is even worse. I liked they brought back the originals, but this film just caters to kiddie humor far too much.
