Synopsis: Carmen and Juni are unaware that their parents are retired superspies until they decide to go on one more mission.

Reaction: Rather than make a movie that he thinks kids would like, Rodriguez makes a movie that he feels a kid would have made. That's the charm of this movie series.

Personal Rating: 7/10
