It's been 22 years since the original movie and whatever might have once seemed fresh and funny about the whole "Spy Kids" universe has long since rotted away.

It’s not going to reinvent the kids’ movie wheel by any means, but if you’re willing to engage with the film on its level, you’ll find a lot of fun to be had.

It’s more of the same, without any discernible improvement in quality, despite the massive technological leaps over the past two decades.

Rodriguez just isn’t putting in the effort anymore, as his heart probably wasn’t in remaking his own film. However, Levi and Rodriguez are charming, and Magnussen is perfectly obnoxious as the villain.
