My Thoughts:

My husband is a huge fan of Spy Kids.  You are probably saying, why would a grown man like a kids film?  Well, if you have seen any of the Spy Kids movies with your children, you will say that this is a great movie for both kids and grownups alike.  Kids will love the cool adventures and gadgets the kids use in each of the adventures.  Parents will love that the movies are wholesome and can be enjoyed by children of all ages, and as part of a family movie night.  It also helps that the films includes popular actors like Jessica Alba and Antonio Banderas. 

We ended up watching all three Spy Kids movies over the holiday when I had my nephew over.  What a great way to spend a few hours together.  We ordered pizza and made a large batch of popcorn, and then enjoyed watching the exciting adventures of the Spy Kids.

If your children love the Spy Kids movies, why not consider picking up this DVD set and surprise them with an entertaining family movie night watching one or all three movies.
