Spy Kids with Allen Cumming as the master mind -- or so he seemed. An action flick for the under ten's. The plot was contrived, the resolution was a rushed "Just be nice to each other" ending that stopped making sense the moment you thought about it... but...

The relationship between older sister and younger brother was neat, and for the entire film, the whole thing was like a hybrid between an Escher print and a Salvador Dali painting that had been brought to life -- 88 minutes of pure dreamscape.

Sometimes that's all you need.
