Spy Kids 4D: All The Time in The World

Spy Kids 4D: All The Time in The World

A film Review By: David Ramirez

*/****

On the surface, Marissa Cortez Wilson (Jessica Alba) has it all...married to a famous spy hunting television reporter, a new baby and intelligent twin step kids. But in reality, trying to mother Rebecca (Rowan Blanchard) and Cecil (Mason Cook), who clearly don't want her around, is her toughest challenge yet. Also, her husband, Wilbur (Joel McHale), wouldn't know a spy if he lived with one which is exactly the case - Marissa's a retired secret agent. Marissa's world is turned upside down when the maniacal Timekeeper (Jeremy Piven) threatens to take over the planet and she's called back into action by the head of OSS, home of the greatest spies and where the now-defunct Spy Kids division was created. With a little help from a couple of very familiar Spy Kids, Carmen (Alexa Vega) and Juni Cortez (Daryl Sabara), they just may be able to save the world and possibly bring their family together while they're at it. - Flixster


Robert Rodriguez is back again with another installment of his "Spy Kids" serious. This time around Rodriguez has employed two new young spy's to take over where the now grown up spy kids left off. Outside of a semi new cast ( the two original spy kids are here too), there really is nothing new here, other then "Aroma-Scope".  The story is full of action and special affects and jokes that are 100% family friendly. 


The two new "Spy Kids" are Rebecca (Rowan Blanchard) and Cecil (Mason Cook). What can i say but they both play their parts very well. Honestly that shouldn't be too difficult considering they're kids, who are playing kids. The nice thing when watching these two young actors on screen is they don't try to overact or be too cheessy.  

Rounding out the cast is anumber of adults; Jessica Alba (Marrisa Wilson), Joel Mchale (Cecil Wilson) and Jeremy Piven (Danger D'Amo / Tick Tock / Time Keeper).  Leading the cast of adults is Jessica Alba, who basically plays a family friendly version of her character in "Dark Angel".  Joel Mchale, has  minor part has the father/TV Star and unfortunately this is not the Joel Mchale from talk soup,  he is lacking in humor and well everything else, that would make us want to see him in a movie.  Rounding out the adult cast is Jeremy Piven who plays two different characters ( I would say three but two are the same person). This is not one of Piven's best roles or movies for that matter, his character is janaric and just like any other spy kids bad guy cheesy. 



"Spy Kids 4" not only has many of the same jokes, characters (With new names) and same moralistic ending as all the others.  if you're looking for a family movie that the kids will enjoy and you won't go completely crazy at, then i say take the kids. In the end your kids will more then likely enjoy "Spy Kids 4" but as an adult you will just feel like you've seen this all before.
