The Spy Next Door Reviews

...a mostly tiresome endeavor that fares especially poorly within its generic and sluggish first half...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 31, 2023

...it could have been worse. [Full review in Spanish]

If the lazy filmmakers don't care enough about their movie to offer at least one single original idea, then you shouldn't care enough to go see it.

| Original Score: C- | Sep 7, 2011

This film plays it too safe and brings you only a smidgeon of charm and laughter.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 22, 2010

An uncomfortable journey for everyone involved.

Though mixing espionage and family values in unraveling dysfunctional behavior among a bratty brood of siblings may be a stretch, Jackie Chan makes the most of it in his latest caper targeting unruly kids.

| May 30, 2010

This is the broad, silly kiddie exercise it appears to be.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 17, 2010

Lame.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 14, 2010

If you're still awake by the end credits, Chan's out-takes are sadly the funniest thing in this inane, silly and below-par effort. This one is for kids only.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 2, 2010

The woeful screenplay, the mundane direction, by Brian Levant, and the indifferent acting all combine to sink a stupid plot which should never have got off the ground.

| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Apr 1, 2010

[The movie] is [likable], bringing a peppy energy to Bob's segue from international spy to babysitter.

| Mar 25, 2010

The slapstick comedy will amuse a young audience, but their parents will find it tedious.

| Mar 25, 2010

Definitely one for the kids to watch on their own when it comes out on DVD.

Full Review | Mar 22, 2010

Chan has just enough friendly charm to transcend this rubbish.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 22, 2010

Tongue-in-cheek entertainment...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 22, 2010

[It] may be a sign that age has finally caught up with this once most agile of action heroes.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 22, 2010

A movie that posits Billy Ray Cyrus as a techno-genius and allows the baddies to get away with Russian accents that would put most meerkats to shame.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 22, 2010
