Family comedy about a mild-mannered man (Jackie Chan) who winds up having to fight off secret agents after one of the neighbour's kids he's babysitting inadvertently downloads a secret code.
Quite possibly one of the worst films I have ever seen. Chan does nothing in this movie but further prove that he no longer has the staying power in modern movies. The movie is filled with wooden acting and paper plot in a children's movie which even children would hate.
Already been done with Arnie yet it still looks good! Chan's the man!
Everybody knew to wait for the outtakes during the closing credits, because you'd see him miss a fire escape or land wrong in the truck going under the bridge. Now the outtakes involve his use of the English language.
The makers of The Spy Next Door should give 50 percent of their profits to James Cameron for ripping off "True Lies." Let's see, what's 50 percent of nothing?
The outtakes are not all that great but still better than anything else in the movie.
Most of The Spy Next Door is pretty tired stuff from "Pacifier"-style slapstick to comic relief delivered by, of all people, erstwhile country star Billy Ray Cyrus.
Chan struggles gamely to charm, but the picture's cartoonish jokes and misfired gags are likely to elicit more eye rolls than laughs.
