Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
savana_gutierrez Rider Strong was so hot in this movie well he's hot in everything he does. The movie was kinda good I guess for a kid's movie i'm giving it 9/10 stars because Rider Strong was in it, it probably deserves more of a 7/10. I like that the Winn Dixie chick acknowledged the fact that Rider is cute, "he not only cute for a teacher, he'd be hot for a rockstar!" They probably only put Rider Strong in the movie because they needed somebody to play the hot teacher, of course Rider is the best one for the job. The movie title doesn't really make sense, it makes you think it's about kids who go to a school to be trained to be spys kinda like Spy Kids. But really it's about this kid who lies a lot, and when he is finally telling the truth nobody believes him. Also the kid likes this British girl, I'm pretty sure she is Cindy Loo Whoo from the Grinch, but the Winn Dixie chick likes the lying kid instead even though they've been friends forever. I actually enjoyed this movie and I liked that they made Rider Strong a big character in it, and that he helped the main character out with stuff and he always had his back.
mohito-soccer This movie is great the acting is superb! What a great movie for all ages it has some good politics! I cannot stress how great this movie is the music is amazing. It includes "Macho Man." The camera angles are perfect the lighting is great. I cannot believe a masterpiece such as this is on Netflix. There is a fantastic plot with great suspense that leaves you wriggling in you chair or sofa until the credits are over! Malcolm J Grism is absolutely fantastic his voice and his posture is perfect for the worst type of villain that you could imagine. Even more than Lord Voldermort! Grism says his famous line "Grism! The name is Malcom J Grism! And yes, I most certainly will get away with this!" Another great line of his is "Back! everybody back! Or I'll have no choice but to do something that wouldn't be very nice!" The actor of Malcom J Grism deserves at the least a best supporting actor Oscar nomination.
mindplay I won't get into the details, but this movie has the most ridiculous plot of any movie I've seen in years - even our 10-year old wasn't fooled by this story.Reasonably good actors, actually - the kids, anyway, the adult actors didn't really deliver... but even with world class actors you couldn't have pulled off this one, so you can't really blame them.Sheer amateur nonsense! Yikes!I don't know how this movie received a 5.1 rating - since it has only received about 200 ratings, I can only guess the kids who acted in the movie asked all their friends to rate it.
chicagopoetry Spy School is a really good movie. Although it doesn't share the science fiction special effects of Spy Kids, it has a similar appeal. The camera work and the lighting are excellent. The plot is not predictable; there is actually a mystery going on here that kids and adults will enjoy. The kid actors are wonderful. There's even some cool music, including two renditions of Macho Man. Of course what would a teenage spy caper be without some crawling through the ducts, but that's forgivable. This is a great movie to share with your children. Nothing less than innocent here, don't worry. The most violence is a gun than never shoots and a guy falling a few feet off a ladder. Otherwise this is perfect entertainment for the entire family.
