	Author	Review
United States	Stephen Hunter The Washington Post	"As a piece of almost dadaist filmmaking, 'Spy Kids' is great fun with its continual spirit of invention"	POS
United States	Lael Loewenstein Variety	"[It] manages to be original (...) On a technical level, 'Spy Kids' is top notch"	POS
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"It's an exuberant, colorful extravaganza, wall-to-wall with wildly original sets and visual gimmicks, and smart enough to escape the kids film category and play in the mainstream (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS

United Kingdom	Michael Thomson BBC	"In a jolly, amiable outing which demands little of the actors (...) gadgets and action are the movie's main thrust (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Time Out	"The plot deviations are endless and confusing, but children can handle that, no prob."	NEU
United States	Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle	"Rodriguez has made a family movie with broad appeal to kids and adults alike (...) [The director] elicits wonderfully natural and engaging performances from these young actors (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS

United Kingdom	Bob McCabe Empire	"The best live-action kids' film in years (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
