    Family fun, courtesy of The Spy Next Door

    It won't win any big awards or have young girls swooning over the hero, but The Spy Next Door is a fun, lighthearted movie that young and old can watch together without worry of embarrassing dialogue, nudity or suggestive content. It has some truly funny moments, visually exciting action sequences where no one dies, and a good moral to the story. If you go to see it in that frame of mind, you won't be disappointed and the satisfaction of being able to see a movie with the whole family and not leave the theatre having to explain uncomfortable situations to children makes it a hit in my book.

    The Spy Next Door

    This movie was a great movie for all ages to see. I am a pretty good judge of character when it comes to language and I did not hear any foul language at all! This is what most parents are looking for and the plot was really cute! I would go back and see it again and again with my child.

    Enjoyed by 7 year old!

    The theater was packed with kids apx ages 6-13. They all seemed to love this movie: laughing at appropriate parts, oohing and aahing. It wasn't half bad for the parents either. I would recommend this for that age set.
