Critics' Reviews

75
Boston Globe: Ty Burr
When all is said and done, the movie's a steaming plate of corn -- and, indeed, that's part of the pleasure. Myles, though, delivers a fine comic performance with no strings attached.Read Full Review »
60
The New York Times: Stephen Holden
A standard, gadget-crazed exercise in whiz-bang adventure with its tongue lodged deep inside its cheek.Read Full Review »
58
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Gregory Kirschling
Without fail its upbeat cheesy wholesomeness is always good for a smile.Read Full Review »
50
Philadelphia Inquirer: David Hiltbrand
It's clean and cheerful entertainment, blithely piggybacking on a beloved classic. No wonder Anderson washed his hands of this project - the filmmakers tampered with and trampled on his magic formula.Read Full Review »
50
USA Today: Claudia Puig
Fun at times and tedious at others, it's an action-adventure fantasy aimed particularly at gadget-loving boys.Read Full Review »

LOS ANGELES TIMES: Kevin Crust
Aside from a couple of rescue set pieces that bookend it, the film is strictly low-wattage in terms of action.Read Full Review »
38
CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: Roger Ebert
A movie like this is harmless, I suppose, except for the celluloid that was killed in the process of its manufacture, but as an entertainment, it will send the kids tiptoeing through the multiplex to sneak into "Spider-Man 2."Read Full Review »

ReelViews: James Berardinelli
Watching a misfire like Thunderbirds illustrates how impressive the "Spy Kids" movies are.Read Full Review »
30
Village Voice: Ben Kenigsberg
As the dapper Lady Penelope, Sophia Myles tries to infuse the enterprise with some "Charlie's Angels" verve, but she's only one life vest, and the movie is a downed plane.Read Full Review »
20
Washington Post: Desson Thomson
Abomination of a movie.Read Full Review »
