This is the first in a series of five movies. THe first three feature the original actors. I can see how this movie might entertain a certain age group of people; but for me it was just too much. The bad people were over the top as the evil scientist kept designing them that way. They were actually spies that he had captured and then transformed into strange creatures for his cartoon show.
Anyway back to the story. A family of four. The mother tells the children of a Spy Couple who fall for eachother and are married. This is Gregorio Cortez and Ingrid Cortez (Antonio Banderas and Carla Gugino). This is actually their own story. They pretend to have left the spy game, but keep their toes in the water. As a resut they are both captured by Fegan Floop (Alan Cumming) and his henchman Alexander Minnion (Tony Shalhoub).
When the parents are taken the children Carmen and Juni (Alexa PenaVega and Daryl Sabara) are accosted by thugs, literally thumb men, and discover quickly they are a family of spies. They get into their parent's lair and take off in a funny looking amphibious vehicle. They are on their way to rescue their parents.
Ont their journey they are taken to Uncle Machete (Danny Trejo)who provides spy tech gadgets. It is Uncle Machete who makes the difference in the end. There are numerous robots created by Minnion just laking intelligence. They are made to look like others and the pair that look like Carmen and Juni manage to get the third brain from them. With this device, after replicating it they are able to give the robots intelligence. zThey make a formidab le force. However after Minnion turns on Floop, he begins putting brains in all his robots. THe brother and sister rescue Floop, who then reprograms the robots to have a conscience.
If you can follow that you would likely enjoy this movie.
