Very amateurish, slightly dull spy comedy. Tries hard, but the casting is strictly off the street. The writing is schizo. One character goes from being a straight "D" student to a computer nerd in a blink. The scene when they are using Intellivision controllers to play a Macintosh game is a strain on the "Gimme a Break" monitor. Not awful, but not painless either. Even the British villain is from the John Travolta school of acting. Every line is delivered as if he had gas. The Lady in Distress is very pretty until we see her in the flesh. She then gets less and less attractive as the movie wears you down. Catherine, on the other hand, gets prettier as the seconds trip on by. Score: 4 out of 10. Don't bother.

Keep the dog, get rid of everyone else!

This film is also known as Spy High which is very similar to Sky High or Spy Kids is pretty much a very amateurish foray into direct to video territory featuring no one with the only highlight being a dog who acts circles around the humans in this thing. The plot does not work as one does not need spies, hackers or elite agents to take down a computer gaming companies boss who has like three guards, a simple phone call to the police would suffice.
The story, a villain is creating a game to take over gamer's minds! Gasp! A couple of employees find out, we never find out what happens to one and the girl gets a message out to these teens who are either elite hacker types or people who are inept in every way...the movie has a hard time deciding which. A guy recruits them because they find out the plot and calling the police is too hard despite the evidence. They infiltrate and the girl who was seemingly found out is just kind of wandering around the office building and she has declined to escape because that would be rude? They hatch a plan to get into the old movie trope of a building with the largest vents in history by stealing a key card from the most roomy pinball machine in history where a guy's legs should obviously be sticking out but aren't...did I mention the dog is really good?
The actors are not actors. The dog apparently had more coaching than the rest of the cast as we have obnoxious leader dude, hot older woman he likes, cute younger girl he is going to like by end of film, friend who is either a dork or a genius depending on the scene, agent who crosses his arms a lot, dorky scientist, evil British guy and of course dog!
This film is just bad. Seems they are trying to capitalize on the success of the Matrix as a lot of screens pop up to remind people of that film. The cast is unlikable with the exception of you know who and the plot is just absurd. Seriously, you have to make your villain a bit more cunning because he does not hide what he is doing well so a call to the cops on a simple kidnapping charge would suffice, plus they had enough evidence without going all Mission Impossible.

Almost hilariously bad

This movie is god awful, a storyline a 6th grader could come up with, trash visuals, acting was worse than home videos, and the lines were so bad, I would rather bash my head into a wall than watch this sad excuse of a movie again
One of the greatest movies I've ever seen.

This movie is one of the greatest movies that I've ever seen. The characters, the action, the intensity, the futuristic technologyit's all there! From beginning to end this movie has me not only at the edge of my seat but also rolling with laughter in the movie theater aisles! The top actor out of the entire cast (which was hard to choose, because they were all amazing actors and actresses) was the dog! He was such a good boy and followed all his lines and directions perfectly! He always had a smile even when times were at their worst! The enemies may have been defeated by the kids in the end, but the real hero was the silly and cute doggo, who was trying his best and succeeded beautifully!
