Our Thoughts: About once a month we have our 2 nephews down to spend the afternoon with us and often times during those visits we play games and/or watch movies with them. My nephews C and S are ages 11 and 14 years of age. Last weekend we invited them down to have pizza with us and to watch this new DVD called Junior High Spy with us.
The DVD is about the Lazio family where Mr. Lazio is an F.B.I. agent and works for the US government. He is kidnapped and the family reports that kidnapping to the F.B.I. along with Ricky Jr’s. thoughts on who kidnapped his dad. The F.B.I. doesn’t believe Ricky Jr. and pay no attention to him, since he is just a kid.
Ricky decides to take matters into his own hands and enlists the help of his best friend who is a computer-genius to help find his F.B.I. agent dad. The two of the embrark on some high-speed chases and are following the clues, while tracking down the bad guys who kidnapped his dad.
The movie has a nice story line with many twists and turns, which keep you guessing on what is going on throughout the movie. There are some really funny parts in this movie that you can’t help but laugh your butt off at and in my personal opinion, it’s a great movie for you to watch with your older kids. Great for family movie nights!
I wouldn’t use this movie for family movie nights with preschooler’s and toddlers, as our almost 4 year old wasn’t interested in watching it all. Definitely for the older kids, like ages 8 years and up. Overall, we really liked it and would recommend it to all of you, especially if you have kids in the family who enjoy these types of family-friendly movies.
I am very glad that there still are family movies appropriate for chldren 8 and older. I always enjoy action movies with a good laugh thrown in!
Thanks for talking about the ages appropriate for this movie. I think my grandson will really enjoy it in another year. He likes the boy hero thing but doesn’t completely understand spies yet. He will be 7 soon. It does sound like a good flick for most of the family though.
I bet my son would like this one he does like the other Spy Kids movie I have on our DVR.
