SPY KIDS 2: THE ISLAND OF LOST DREAMS (2002)

EW's GRADE
B

Details Release Date: Aug 07, 2002; Rated: PG; Length: 100 Minutes; Genres: Action/Adventure, Kids and Family; With: Antonio Banderas, Carla Gugino, Daryl Sabara and Alexa Vega; Distributor: Dimension Films

The kids with the underage mojo and their sleuth parents (Antonio Banderas and Carla Gugino) are back to save the world, or something like that, on the island sanctum of a mad scientist (Steve Buscemi). Nothing, inevitably, matches the surprise charms of Robert Rodriguez's original, delightful junior-division-Bond adventure. But the inventiveness is still superior, and the addition of grandparents played by Ricardo Montalban and Holland Taylor is inspired.
