2007-04-28 Spymate

This is a family movie, a comedy, about an ex spy, or perhaps secret agent, named Minky and a wiz kid, Amelia, who's father also is an ex spy and a former partner to Minky. Amelia has invented a kind of super laser drill that can drill all the way down to the earths core if it is scaled up 100 times. There is an evil scientist who kidnaps Amelia in order to get her to fix his upscaled copy of her drill model so he can drill down to the earths core in a mountain in Japan, to... well I actually don't remember why, something about energy I think. However, when doing so he also jeopardizes the whole of Japan so he must be stopped. Enter Minky and Amelias father to both rescue Amelia and Japan. The only thing is that Minky is a chimpanzee who also happens to be a great spy-agent. There is also ninjas, hit men super heroes (sort of) and a lot of tech stuff. Although the acting in this movie was lousy, to say the least, it was rather funny, mostly because of the chimpanzee. I saw this move together with some kids, aged 9 to 12 and they loved it - despite the thin story and lousy acting. It has also got a rather bad rating on IMDB. I suspect it is because it is rated by adults rather than children. If you have children, see it with them, if not don't bother.

I give this a 7 out of  10 (for children).

7/10
