THE STORY:
Juny and Carmen, the kid spies from the first movie, are back as practiced agents. And this time they have rivals: the son and daughter of their parents' greatest rival, Donnagon (Mike Judge). When Donnagon stages an attempt to conquer the world, Juny and Carmen go into action to stop him.
In the end, they do.
In the end, they do.
QUESTIONABLE LANGUAGE:
- "You're full of shit...ake mushrooms."
- loser
VIOLENCE:
- lots of fighting, punching, shooting, sword fighting
- some skeletons get decapitated but come back to 'life'
TEACHING POINTS:
- nothing significant
THE UPSHOT:
I'm not a big action movie person and found the violence a bit much. I also had some issues with the music/ dance sequence during the credits, and the sexualization of the (supposedly) adolescent girl character. (It was the camera angles that disturbed me in particular.)
Overall, I just found the story thin, the characters shallow, and the special effects specious. I can appreciate the fact that this series provides a spotlight for Hispanic actors and themes, but beyond that I just can't very much that is redeeming.
