Junior High Spy

I try not to overdo it on reviews but this movie is so poorly acted/edited I hoped for a power outage while watching it with my family. It's an essential play book for everything you should NEVER do while filming a movie, editing a movie and acting in a movie. In Canada there must be very low standards for B films (either that or this one was meant to be much further down the alphabet and got past the film sorter). If you like really bad movies, and many do, put this on your list. Otherwise you will rue the 120minuts wear and tear you subjected your TV and DVD player to. Many of the actors are from the same family which leads me to believe it was conceived of and executed by them as a birthday present to one of their kids. There is little evidence that any of the cast has previous or continued acting experience. The one saving grace of the film is that it's attempting to target the G-rated family movie night audience with a plot line that would excite youngsters and appease adults as well. It's very hard to find quality, family orientated moves and anyone who is trying to do so should be encouraged. However, having such poor standards for the finished product will only draw audiences in another direction; so having standards for quality should be a goal in any project. I hope to see more family-orientated films being produced, but with more of an eye towards producing something palatable.
