DAILY MAIL MOVIE REVIEWER

What do you get if you take a James Bond thriller and put inkids? You get one of the most obnoxious and ridiculous films to hittheaters in a long time. The fact that "Spy Kids" is a James Bondripoff isn't the only unoriginal idea this movie foists uponaudiences. There are the ridiculous and cartoonish villains thatcall to mind "Batman" movies, special effects that are as laughableas "Godzilla" fare, and sets that seem to have been stolen from"Willy Wonka" or "Beetlejuice."

There, you have it. "Spy Kids" doesn't possess one creativeelement of its own.

That doesn't mean kids …
