Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World : Movie Review


We critics like to complain that today's Hollywood has gotten so good at catering to specific, individual demographics that the resulting films often play like they were purposely prepared by said explicit audience itself. Nowhere is this more true than with the family film, the 2011 version overflowing with fart jokes and snickers only a grade schooler would find fun. If parents are looking for a culprit in this low brow dumbing down of a once mighty movie genre, they can cast their cocked eyebrows at Robert Rodriguez. A proponent of pale pixie stick cinema, his entire creative canon - outside horror and action - has been geared toward prepubescent gratuity. After giving us three previous Spy Kids thrills, the man is back to bother us again - and this time, it's not just the movie that stinks.
