Spy Kids: All the Time in the World


The fourth Spy Kids film featuring nearly an entirely new cast.  Surprisingly, and perhaps the highlight of the film, is the return of a few familiar faces.  Anyway, you can kind of immediately tell that this won't be a good film and it isn't, being too outrageous and full of plot holes.  Yes, it is aimed at a younger audience but some of the concepts and scenes are too unrealistic and it makes even the youngest roll their eyes.  It relies a bit on immature humor, which frankly, has been done plenty of times before, there is no ingenuity or freshness.  The story is predictable but there is a small redeeming light at the climax where the villain's motive was revealed, which ended up being  sad backstory.  Other than that, it ended on a disappointing note, especially with the takedown by the baby.
