The Spy Next Door on DVD

I am all about finding a fun family film that we can all enjoy together. When I saw a few months ago that Jackie Chan had a family movie out, I was eager to see it for myself. We recently had the chance to watch The Spy Next Door, and while I haven’t been a mega Jackie Chan fan in the past, I do like him and was excited to see him take the turn in to more of a family fun role.

Starring:
Jackie Chan, Billy Ray Cyrus, George Lopez, Amber Valletta, Madeline Carroll, Magnús Scheving and Will Shadley

Synopsis:
Acclaimed martial-arts superstar Jackie Chan (The Forbidden Kingdom) is back to kick up the action and bring in the laughs with The Spy Next Door, making its way onto a 2-disc Blu-ray Combo Pack – which includes both Blu-ray and DVD – and is also available as a separate DVD and for digital download. From the director of Snow Dogs, the film features a star-studded cast including Amber Valletta (Hitch), Billy Ray Cyrus (Disney’s “Hannah Montana”) and George Lopez (Valentine’s Day), and grossed over $24 million at the box office.

This KIDS FIRST!-endorsed action-comedy which also received the Dove Foundation Seal of Approval, contains bonus features the whole family will enjoy – including a blooper reel and two fun featurettes that bring audiences up-close and personal with the cast.

Without giving you too much about the movie, here is my take down:

Jackie Chan plays an agent spy named Bob that lives in the suburbs, meanwhile his neighbor, Gillian (Amber Valletta) is a single mom with three kids. Bob & Gillian start dating and Gillian wants to take it to the next level in their relationship. The kids have their opinions about Bob, and since he never really bonded with Gillian’s kids, Bob steps up and offers to watch the children. This movie is a family flick if I ever saw one. It was packed with fun, energy, laughter, curiosity and we all loved it.

In true Jackie Chan fashion, The Spy Next Door delivers incredible stunts, fast action suspense and hearty family entertainment. When Bob Ho is called to babysit his neighbor’s unruly children, they accidentally blow his cover as a spy by downloading secret codes on his computer. Suddenly Bob has to kick into super agent mode and take the kids on an action-packed adventure that turns suburbia upside down. Bob fights off assassins and arch villains, narrowly escapes traps and outsmarts double-agents while somehow managing to keep the kids out of harm’s way.
