Spies in disguise's reviews
Media reviews
Entertainment Weekly
Set for a Christmas Day release, Spies In Disguise is up against heavy competition this holiday season, from Star Wars to Little Women. But it?s a proud piece of family entertainment with a good heart, an eye for inventive action, and a delightfully wacky sense of humor.
The Wrap
Commendably, screenwriters Brad Copeland (?Ferdinand?) and Lloyd Taylor dispute traditional manliness and bravery with a friendship that one hopes will communicate to children, young boys especially, that someone who refuses to respond to aggression with aggression, and who cares more about human life (even the bad guy?s) than about dominance, can still stand tall as a hero. Intelligence as a superpower rules over brute force.
The Hollywood Reporter
What?s striking about the script by Brad Copeland and Lloyd Taylor, from a screen story by Cindy Davis, is how exceptionally unmotivated the whole story is. Numerous excuses are invented for big action sequences all over the world, but it never feels like there?s a rhyme or reason to where the characters are going or what they?re doing once they arrive.
The Guardian
As with so many family animations right now, I felt that the script stays on the safe side, with fewer smart lines and ironic gags than I might have wished for, but this is a good-natured entertainment.
Empire
Better in conception than execution, Spies In Disguise never really gets the best out of its James Bond Is A Pigeon high concept. The result is entertaining while it lasts, but won?t lodge itself permanently in your memory bank.
