Amazon.com Spy missions for the CIA may be difficult and dangerous, but they're nothing compared to the challenges of raising a family. Bob Ho (Jackie Chan) is a Chinese spy on loan to the CIA, but to Gillian (Amber Valletta) and her kids Farren (Madeline Carroll), Ian (Will Shadley), and Nora (Alina Foley), he's just a neighbor and pen salesman. Gillian and Bob are attracted to one another, and Bob is ready to tell Gillian what he really does for a living. He's prepared to retire from his career in espionage so they can take their relationship to the next level. Unfortunately for Bob, Gillian's kids are less than impressed with their nerdy neighbor, and that means his relationship with Gillian can't move forward. When Gillian has to leave town suddenly, Bob volunteers to take care of the children in hopes of "making them" like him. Ian inadvertently downloads a secret file from Bob's computer, and suddenly the Russian terrorist Poldark (Magnus Sheving) is bent on destroying Bob and the children. As if Bob weren't having enough trouble negotiating the daily duties of making the children's breakfast, getting them to school, and keeping track of young Nora in the local mall, he unexpectedly discovers that one of his CIA coworkers is working for the Russians (George Lopez and Billy Ray Cyrus play Bob's colleagues). Bob finds himself alone in the fight of a lifetime as he battles to keep the children safe from the violent Russian and his associates. The Spy Next Door is full of action-packed martial arts scenes that highlight Jackie Chan's prowess and will inspire much mock fighting and begging for lessons by school-age children, but it's also a funny take on the very real difficulties of dating and parenting that adults will readily relate to. While there is a fair amount of fighting in the film, it is tastefully rendered and won't upset most children ages 7 and older. --Tami Horiuchi

Love Jackie Chan! September 8, 2010 rebekah This is a great movie. Jackie Chan is funny as always and I would watch this movie again!
Not the best Jackie Chan September 5, 2010 Rita J. Beatty (Indiana) I enjoyed the movie, but it is not my usual forte. Would recommend it for children as it is not a violent movie at all, but a true comedy. Some martial arts, but they are done more as slap stick comedy.
Good jackie chan movie, not as funny as Rush Hour though September 4, 2010 jschristian44 I loved Jackie Chan in Rush Hour. He was pretty funny in that movie. I always seen Jackie in Kung Fu type movies, and this one of course he's a Spy, close enough. But, he acts as a babysitter for the next door neighbor who he is dating. Anyways, if you've seen The Pacifier with Vin Diesel and liked it, you will enjoy this movie. Like one other reviewer said, I have to totally agree with. I think they even have the same number of kids and the mom is the same person. But anyways, if you liked that movie you will enjoy this movie, almost exactly the same, even have funny pets.
Jackie Chan +Kids = Comedy August 8, 2010 David A. Smith (Webberville, Mi, USA) this is a great movie for everyone jackie chan is hillarious in this film and his stunt work gets better and better. and the kids were awesome too
