Plot: Carmen and Juni Cortez have no idea their parents are master spies. But when their parents are captured by Fegan Floop, who plans to take over the world with robot children, they have to suddenly become spy kids and go on a rescue mission.

A children's movie perhaps, with gadgets galore, Fegan Floop's fantasy fortress, and Rodriguez's showy direction. It has a message about the importance of being family which might have been preachy. But this is clever fun well worth an adult watching.
