Title: The Spy Next Door Year Of Release: 2009 Review Date: June 30, 2010 Rating: PG-13 Running time: 94 minutes Box
Office Gross: Site
Rating: 3 out of 10 stars "The Spy Next Door" was a mildly entertaining film starring Jackie
Chan, as Bob Ho (I was so sure it was "Bob Hope"), a Chinese spy,
working for the CIA, that lives next door to the woman he loves, Gillian, a
single mother, who has three rambunctious children. Rambunctious = evil. Just
kidding, but they are so, how can I put this, energetic, sarcastic and strong
willed, they almost broke down a trained spy. Those are some bad kids.
Bob has been dating Gillian and not
telling her he is a CIA spy. This level of dishonest damages their
relationship and also causes the entire film to unravel, in how this storyline
was presented. Chan was funny as always and the child stars quite gifted, but
the script for this movie is derivative and needs work, as it let the film
down.
