Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
TonyMontana96 (Originally seen many years ago) Jackie Chan's worst film would be an understatement, it's also the one and only Chan outing that has not a single good stunt, the stunts here could have been done by anyone, he was needed. The humour is horrible, there is nothing funny, nothing bearable and nothing free of embarrassment in this dreadful piece of garbage that features god-awful acting, an abysmal screenplay and atrocious fight scenes. Spy Next Door is absolutely horrendous. 0/10
SnoopyStyle CIA super agent Bob Ho (Jackie Chan) has been dating Gillian (Amber Valletta) for three months. Her kids Farren (Madeline Carroll) and Ian (Will Shadley) hate him. Little Nora (Alina Foley) thinks that he's a cyborg. He is retiring for Gillian but she doesn't know his secret life. Glaze (George Lopez) is his handler and Colton James (Billy Ray Cyrus) is a fellow agent. His Russian nemesis Anton Poldark escapes from capture. While the kids snoop around in his house, Ian downloads a file from his secret computer. Poldark tracks it down and comes after Bob and the kids.There is absolutely no chemistry between Jackie Chan and Amber Valletta. The kids have better chemistry with him. Maybe they could have made up a story about him being a secret nanny instead. That's where the comedy is anyways with him as Mr. Mom. The movie almost works with him and the kids. Many comedians have mined that rich vain and Jackie could easily do that too. Also I don't know why he has to wear those glasses. It's not like he's Superman and this is his secret identity. The rest of the movie is a bunch of unfunny cartoon characters. It still has Jackie Chan doing his acrobatic fights. That's impressive at his age. With a few changes, this could have been a passable kids movie.
Frozone Chuck Norris made "Top Dog", Arnold Schwarzeneger "Jingle All the Way", Silvester Stallone "Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over", Vin Diesel "The Pacifier", Dwayne Johnson "Tooth Fairy", Bruce Willis "North", Kurt Russell "Sky High" and Jackie Chan "The Spy Next Door".Its like an unwritten law that Action Movie Stars make at least one bad Kids film in their career. Well I'm excited for Jason Statham movie. :DThe Good: ...The Bad: -I don't know where to start... -The Bad Jokes(even for Kids) -Billy Ray Cyrus and George Lopez as CIA Agents!?
loogenhausen Are people sniffing glue these days? Terrible, terrible excuse for a movie. Its not OK to excuse this as good old fashioned family entertainment. If you do, you are committing child abuse and I want to report you to the authorities. The characters are all completely unlikable, one-dimensional and above all, one hundred percent idiotic. Not one line of dialogue feels right, not one single scene worked at all. The mother is a complete imbecile and the children all deserve a punch in the face. Poor Jackie Chan needed some money, that is the only reason he was in this - and not to entertain your little dimbulb rugrats who couldn't tell the difference between a good movie and static in the first place. There are hundreds of great family films out there to expose your kids to. This is not one of them. Demand more out of your entertainment and maybe your kids won't grow up to be so stupid. If that makes you mad or offends you, then you're probably to blame.
