The Spy Next Door (2010; Genre: Comedy Action) Rating: 2/5

Jackie Chan as usual is back to kick ass bad guy in Comedy Action movie "The Spy Next Door". Audiences might be disappointed with "The Spy Next Door" as it is not the usual Jackie's movie with lots of action. The Spy Next Door is more settle and calm with only a few fighting scene.

The movie begins with compiled Jackie Chan past movie scenes stating him as a spy named, Bob Ho. Reaching his retirement age, Bob decides to settle down and falling in love with his neighbour, Gillian (Amber Valletta). However, fact doesn't say so as the "Bad Guy" Bob captured in the beginning of the movie escapes. Mean while, Gillian plans to visit his father who have fallen sick out town. Trusting Bob to take care of this children who hate Bob very much, Gillain leaves them without worries. However, Gillian's son downloaded the secret file sent by Bob partner and unfortunately being traced by the the "Bad Guy" and there the story begins.

Seeing it just like watching another version of "The Pacifier" starring Vin Diesel, but without the excitement which "the pacifier" has. The only interesting in The Spy Next Door is the fun and unique fighting choreograph while leaving the rest of the scene tasteless and boring. Yet, for Children the movie is enjoyable to watch, remembered and praised. The Spy Next Door is a entertainment for kids and only for kids. So you should spend your weekend taking your child to a cinema watching "The Spy Next Door" and have a good chat about it afterwards. The Spy Next Door is hilarious for kids but not suitable for serious adult. Audiences will love his funny and well developed fighting choreograph but not the story for this movie.
