    Imaginative, Fun Family Film

    Carmen and Juni are two kids who are just trying to grow up. Carmen resents always having to look out for her brother, and Juni is constantly afraid of everything and is the bullies' favorite target at school. But one day, they learn that their parents are really spies who have been kidnapped. The kids soon realize that they alone must find and rescue them. Along the way, Carmen and Juni will have to learn to work as a family if they have any hope of returning home alive.

    This is a delightful film the entire family can enjoy together. The plot is cleaver and entertaining so everyone will enjoy it, and the characters are endearing. I especially love the scene where Juni meets his hero Floop and gives him advice. There is definitely a strong message about the importance of family, but it is brought out by the story and never feels too preachy.

    A movie with this much imagination doesn't come along very often. Children of all ages will enjoy this purely escapist adventure.

    Entertaining Enough

    Messy but fast paced and entertaining family film from Roderiguez with enough camoes from cult actors to keep movie buffs happy. The kids are good enough, and there's nice production design and some well judged tongue-in-cheek performances from the older members of the cast.

    Good for kids, and I believe the series gets better.
