DVD review: Spy Kids: All the time in the world

I guess it is fair that youngsters get their own action heroes when adults get to enjoy the likes of James Bond, Ironman and the Transformers. And these young heroes get to have plenty of fun as well. The young stars - Rebecca (Rowan Blanchard) and Cecil Wilson (Mason Cook) - get to do all the cool adventure stuff that real (Hollywood) spies get to do as they help stop the end of the world.

The siblings live with dad Wilbur (Joel McHale), new wife Marissa (the wonderful Jessica Alba) and their new baby.

The practical-joking Rebecca can't warm to her new step-mum and misses her real mum, while Cecil is more accepting of the situation.

Marissa is a stay-at-home mum these days but before the birth of the baby, unbeknown to the family, she was a top spy helping keep the world safe.

Giving it all away for the sake of her family, Marissa now leads a simple life.

That is until the evil Timekeeper escapes and poses a new great threat to mankind - he is going to make the world run out of time. The only person who can stop him is Marissa.

But she can't do it alone and needs the help of her two step-children, who prove to be more than able Spy Kids.

So get set for some exciting fun from a couple of pint-sized action heroes.
