Spy School Audience Reviews

ShangLuda Admirable film.
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre
ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
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.
PandoraProductions4 Boy, oh boy, does Spy School suck. Watching it was the most unpleasant movie-going experience I've had in a long time. It seems to be attempting to ride on the success of Spy Kids and other kid agent movies (Catch That Kid, etc.), but having been made in 2008, it arrived too late on the scene, as the public had already tired of that type of film. Even if it had been released in the right year, it still wouldn't have stood up to the aforementioned Spy Kids, because despite it's title "Spy School", the main character in the film is not a spy, nor does he attend a school for spies. In fact, there are no cool or interesting spy gadgets or software in the entire movie. There are a few horribly choreographed action scenes and that's about it in terms of excitement. In the beginning of the film we are introduced to Thomas, the main character, who is a complete jerk with no charisma whatsoever. He uncovers a plot to kidnap the President's daughter and so on. There are some pointless and tiresome love triangles, subplots, and moral pontificating that divert attention away from the "story"- and I'm using the word story here very loosely. Perhaps you think I'm battering this film too hard. It's just kids movie, after all, right? Well, I don't see how any kids would be entertained by this film. It has a convoluted plot that would be hard for a young child to follow, and barely any exciting sequences throughout. It's not engaging on an emotional level; plus the romance parts would probably be too mushy for children. There are so many better films for children out there. A big problem in the movie is the casting. The red-haired boy who plays Thomas is so unlikable that I grew to hate him by the end of the film. The President's daughter is played by this pudgy little girl who looks like the Honey Boo Boo child. The adults are all stereotypes and forgettable. The one bright spot in this movie is AnnaSophia Robb. They should have given her the leading role. Perhaps then this film would be more watchable.Anyway the plot builds to a climax that is so dumb when you think about it, that it's almost funny. Almost. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone but a die-hard AnnaSophia Robb fan, and even then it'll take some willpower to get through this piece of trash.
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.
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.
