Storyline:
Action star Jackie Chan plays the role of a spy named Bob, who falls in love with his next door neighbor Gillian (Amber Valletta) with three children Farren (Madeline Carroll), Ian (Will Shadley), Nora (Alina Foley). They are all normal people and have their own set of problems. Fareen a typical teenager who is difficult to get along with. She is not Gillian’s own child, and every now and then tells Gillian how much she hates this family. She also calls Gillian by her name. Ian is a usual school kid who would go to any extent to be called cool. Nora is sweet litlle kid, very girly, does nothing all day since she is only four, and loves pink. The family also have three pets – a cat, a turtle and a pig. Anyone who takes Gillian has to take the kids and her pets. She is a sweet lady who does not distinguish between her own kids and Farren, no matter how mad she gets at her stepmom.
Gillian thinks that she has at last found a decent normal man in Bob; a man of good values and honesty who she can marry. The two older kids are not much in accord with it. Gillian tells them that her happiness counts too.
Bob has not yet got a chance to tell her about his true identity. In the meantime, he is trying hard to win the love of her kids. Last time Bob wanted to tell Gillian about his job, he got an urgent phone call and had to leave on a secret mission. With Colton James (Billy Ray Cyrus), Bob had to set off to catch a few evil doers. After accomplishing the mission, they declared his retirement to lead a normal life.
Gillian has to leave for a family emergency and Bob offers to take care of her family. It is Halloween season and there are so many things to take care of! The kids go to Bob’s house to fetch him. While Bob gets ready, Ian downloads some important files on Bob’s computer. The young had to idea of what he was doing. Things start very hectic and crazy for Bob, but he takes hold of things in a couple of days. He takes the kids to school, buy Nora her halloween costumes, make them breakfast, sings Chinese lullaby. He has always been closer to Nora, but now Ian starts liking him. Ian is a perfect geek who is always running after things that would make him look cool. Bob gives him tips to impress the girls! Bob also tries to get friendly to Farren. He finds out her favorite nook, listens to her problems. He tells her what family is – it is not important wholse blood you carry, but who you love.
Poldark (Magnus Scheving), the villain Bob caught in his last expedition, now has broken prison. He tracks Bob’s computer where the files have been downloaded and is after him. With his accomplices, Poldark comes to Bob’s place. Bob fights them with usual proficiency. At a restaurant, Bob, with the kids, gets attacked by a Russian spy who has tried to impress Farren as a cool college guy. Bob fights him off again but this time has to admit to the kids about his true identity. Bob also discovers that Glaze, his co-worker is a traitor and is after him for those same files.
Gillian gets furious at Bob when she comes to know about all this from Farren. She flies back right to town and breaks up. But things again take a hectic turn. Ian, trying to be cool once again, runs away from home and goes to Bob. Farren follows him, and the all three of them once again end up in a mess where Ian confesses downloading the file. He did that to look cool, is his justification! When the antagonists rush to get the files, Bob escapes with the kids. They need to take hold of the stuff before their opponents do. It is Halloween and people are streaming in everywhere with costumes on. They all reach Gillian’s place and the whole family fights the enemies off. Finally, Colton comes in and take over the villiains.
When Bob is ready to leave, Farren tells Gillian that there would be no man better than Bob. Even she adresses her as ‘mom’. Ian tells Bob how much he is going to miss him, and lastly Nora tells her mom that she wants Bob to be her daddy. Gillian makes it up with ‘the spy next door’. At the wedding when the priest asks for Gillian’s consent to take Bob as her lawfully wedded husband, he tells her that it is not even his real name! And yet she does take him.

Comments:
A good watchable story for the whole family. Though the film has got mixed reactions for different sections of audience, it is no doubt a good and funny watch. The film may be an anticipated one, but that does not make it a bad one. The dialogues are funny, and the cast is wonderful. And Jackie Chan is wonderful as always. It is one of those few roles where he acts as a family man, a lover seeking the love of his favorite woman. He is something more than an action hero in this film.
Amber Valletta is gorgeous, though she is not present in a whole lot of scenes.
The kids are wonderful, and very much identifiable with the kids of their ages. The do funny things, be difficult and are extremely cute.
The villains in the movie are funny with their Russian accents and fashion sense.
If you are not extremely desperate to explore something really unique or new, ‘The Spy Next Door’ should be a good movie to enjoy!

Product Description
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

Review Date: February 4, 2010
Reviewer: Hammock Rider, Talk of the Town Trailer Estates Park - Southern California
If you're looking for a decent, fun little movie you can watch with your family in a relatively painless fashion then you've come to the right place.

For some reason many action stars have supplemented their income by appearing in movies with kids. Maybe they are trying to widen their appeal from the hardcore action audience to the family friendly scene. Maybe they're getting too old to keep up with the pace of a full-on action movie. Maybe they have to pay alimony to 4 or 5 ex-wives. I don't know why they do it, but it's almost becoming mandatory for these guys to take on a kid or three as a side-kick and attempt to blend action and family fare.

And these attempts almost always stink.

Does anyone honestly want to see Vin Diesel try to relate to kids? Or Chuck Norris, the Rock or God help us, Burt Reynolds relate to kids? No way. Don't even start with me about Hulk Hogan. During Santa with Muscles I was terrified that he might not see a few of the kids and accidently step on them. Suffice to say, these movies might help a star's sagging income, but they're usually a mediocre compromise between two often disparate genres at best.

This one is a little better. It's still "action-light" but I think it works because of the star, Jackie Chan. His character seems like a genuinely nice guy who wants to get along with the mandatory bratty kids. Vin, Hulk, Chuck, Burt and the rest, these guys play characters that you know would much rather be killing, crushing or sleeping with the enemy. Chan doesn't have that problem because of the types of characters he often plays. His lighter presence matches up with the tone of the movie and makes it seem ....hmm...not as weird and patently unbelievable and maybe even patronizing as other movies of this kind.

Basically Jackie plays Bob Ho, a Chinese secret agent on loan to the CIA. He retires so he can marry Gillian, a divorced single mom who is looking for someone reliable. Her kids don't really cotton to Bob though, so she decides to put her relationship with Bob on hold until they're ok with her marrying Bob. Bob is saddened but resolves to win the kids and his girl friend over.

Then, luckily, hijinx ensue. One of Gillian's kids downloads some top secret stuff off Bob's computer and before you can say Boris and Natasha some evil Russians are in hot pursuit. After a variety of PG style mishaps Bob captures the bad guys and wins the day, the girl friend and the family. And like I said, it works because Jackie Chan doesn't seem shoe-horned into the role.

The action is lighter than most Chan movies but it is inventive and fun. The kids act a little more like real kids than Hollywood Central Casting pods. The youngest kid in particular seems like real 4 year old, goofy and light hearted. When she delivered the line" I don't wanna be a princess, I wanna be a cyboooorg!" I cracked up. I actually laughed more than a few times, which surprised me. As long as you realize going in that this is just very light family entertainment I think you'll be pleased

Reviewer: Avid reader, United States
This movie was pretty funny, the kids were cute, and the overarching themes of telling the truth and protecting your loved ones are great points of discussion with children. For those that love Jackie Chan movies, you might be a little disappointed that there is not as much action in this movie and some of the stunts are obviously on wires. But it is a movie for kids/families, so the level and excitement of the stunts seemed appropriate to me. A few things I would want to be aware of as a parent before watching the movie with my child: 1)the female villain often shows a lot of cleavage 2)The 13 year old daughter seems to get away with being very disrespectful to the mom (though it is kind of explained a little later in the movie) 3)there is a little profanity 4)a college age young man hits on the 13 year old daughter (though Jackie doesn't let him get away with it) 5)the young boy in the movie boasts about watching pornography on pay-per view 6)he is also obsessed with getting older girls to show interest in him and receives some tips from Jackie on how to accomplish it.
I love Jackie Chan! "Spying is easy. Parenting is hard."

Reviewer: M. Talalay, Lutherville, MD United States
Jackie Chan has it all. He is humorous, a master martial-arts superstar, and appealing to all ages. Mom and Dad will be completely fine when the kids want to see this movie again (and again and again). Chan is charming and his co-stars add to this exciting agent next door comedy/action film. Great for Father's Day (or Mother's Day!). "Spying is easy. Parenting is hard."

Reviewer: Media Master, Golden, CO United States
This movie is great for families, children really love it. Adults will like the heart of it and even true Jackie Chan fans will enjoy watching Jackie make films aimed at the family market and not just the "action" market. He can successfully do films for each group. Other reviews described the plot, I won't repeat it here. I will say it has some entertaining action as only Jackie Chan seems to do, some real heart and true family values - what makes a real family...People who are there for you, people who "have your back". It's even entertaning to those of us who followed the amazing career of Jackie Chan from the beginning. How will he continue to evolve his career from legendary action stunt performer to "54 year old and beyond" actor. He's done a nice job here. The film was never scary, the "bad" guys were humorous, the movie was never too slow, nor too fast and the story was easy to follow. This wasn't "deep drama" so the acting didn't need to be Meryl Streep calibre.
Comedy, action, and culture in a saga of Superpower struggle.
 
Review Date: January 17, 2010
Reviewer: Mohamed F. El-Hewie, Hackensack, NJ USA
Departing from Mell Gibson's and Bruce Willi's trademarks is never a bad idea, considering the high physical demands of action movies. The Spy Next Door invested its capital on a new face of an athletic, short, and youthful Chinese actor, to bring comedy in a global dimension. The unfamiliar face of a Chinese star, his accent, and scant knowledge of the Western culture kept the audience curious on the outcome of his ventures. His days for making living as a spy provided him with a chance to settle down and start a new family. His search for piece and tranquility away from his demanding career will soon be interrupting his effort to build his new nest.

The vicious and resourceful spies whom he fought are as powerful as the CIA. They have their inner leads through double spies. The Russian spies, are athletic, mean, and ruthless in their plot to destroy the American oil reserve and advance the Russian market. The Chinese spy accidentally and unkowingly possessed the secret chemical formula that belongs to the terrorists through the sneaking into his computer by the boy whom he was baby-sitting. The missing electronic files ended up in the middle school where the young boy attends. The innocuous playful task of the little boy got the Chinese spy and his baby sitter to be suspected as a double spy. The missing computer files drove the hidden double spy and the Russians terrorists to chase the Chinese spy who for the retrieval of the precious files.

The Chinese classified agent could easily be traced to the nuclear scientist from Sandia lab whom Clinton's folks accused for downloading classified secrets. Also, the double spy could also be traced to a recent figure in the same Clinton's administration. The remaining spy technologies are no ground breaking either. The three kids in the Spy Next Door performed much better than the two in the recent movie Old Dogs. They rivaled "Home Alone" by behaving like real kids. The story of the movie is entirely a makeshift scenario of the contemporary news.

Where the movie gains strength was most probably the display of how kids would easily and unconditionally fall in love with adult figures as soon as trust is established. Bob, the American alias for the Chinese fellow, possesses enough cultural depth of deprivation and suffering that enabled him to level with three foreign kids and make them love him unconditionally.

Review Date: January 25, 2010
Reviewer: Chris Pandolfi, Los Angeles, CA
Do you know what it's like to see miscast actors fail miserably at making something out of nothing? Presenting "The Spy Next Door." Watching this movie is a painful experience, not only because it tells an unbelievably strained story, but also because no one seems to fit into their role. And yes, this goes double for the star, Jackie Chan. Had he not been required to be anything more than a stuntman, then maybe (and I really do mean maybe) this film would have worked as an escapist family comedy. Alas, he also had to be a foil for three bratty kids as well as a romantic lead, and I don't think I can even begin to describe how unconvincing he is at both. He must have known there was a problem, because there are times when you can see on his face that he isn't having any fun. If it's difficult for him, imagine what it's like for the audience.

Chan plays Bob Ho, an undercover CIA agent who wants to retire and marry his next door neighbor, Gillian (Amber Valletta), having secretly dated her for some time. Bob assumes the role of the average guy next door by acting geeky and wearing glasses, which is fine if you like laughing at him, not with him. Gillian ... well, she's just Gillian, having no discernable personality or quirk that would make her even slightly interesting. The one scene of the two having dinner together is enough to make it clear that a union of any kind is inconceivable. There's absolutely no chemistry between them. Chan might as well have been speaking to Valletta in his native Cantonese - the effect would be more or less the same.

The problem for Bob is that Gillian is a single mom, and her children absolutely despise him. Farren (Madeline Carroll) is your typical moody teenager, always angry, always disrespectful, always referring to Gillian by her first name because she's technically her stepmother. There are moments when her attitude is so bad that you just want to slap her across the face. Ian (Will Shadley) is a super-smart, technically savvy, thrill-seeking middle-schooler who regularly lies in a desperate effort to be "cool," especially with girls. There is not a trace of truth in this character; he doesn't even work as a parody of the precocious kid. The youngest is four-year-old Nora (Alina Foley), who's so cute that it's downright nauseating; she's a girly-girl who likes kitties and princess costumes and the color pink, and she can never speak without dropping her R's like Elmer Fudd.

When Gillian is called away from home, Bob volunteers to take care of her children, who, of course, do what they can to make his life a living hell. But then things turn sinister: Bob's last captive, a Russian terrorist named Poldark (Magnus Scheving), has escaped from prison and is plotting to evaporate the world's oil supplies with a special solution, the formula of which just happened to be downloaded from Bob's computer onto Ian's iPod. Yeah, I know. Anyway, as Bob tries to bond with Gillian's kids, he must also fight off scores of bad guys in a series of action sequences. Believe me, they're not as entertaining as the ads make them seem.

Helping Bob along are his former CIA partners Glaze (George Lopez) and Colton (Billy Ray Cyrus), the latter given dialogue that even Dr. Phil would think is hokey. Consider this helpful bit of advice for Bob: "Don't get married. Just find some woman you're gonna hate in five years and give her your house." Think about the demographic this film is aimed towards. Do you honestly think it will laugh at that joke? Then again, who's to say that adults will laugh at it? There were plenty of parents in the theater the day I saw it, and I didn't hear so much as a snicker from any of them. I didn't hear much out of the little ones either, although I distinctly remember a young girl, maybe around six years old, asking her father for a sip of his soda.

Someone should take this as a sign. What do we mean by subjecting younger audiences to this? Is Hollywood really so drained of imagination? There's such little creativity in "The Spy Next Door," it's as if the filmmakers believe that today's kids are nothing more than mindless drones that will laugh at anything, even at things that are anything but funny. Consider this throwaway gag featuring the children's pet pig: At breakfast, Ian sneaks a few pieces of bacon under the table for the pig to eat, and it does. "That's just wrong," observes Farren, which is correct, except that the scene plays as a lighthearted joke instead of a disturbing visual. There's nothing amusing about this, and the fact that the writers thought differently is downright deplorable.

In 2006, Jackie Chan apologized for interrupting a concert in Hong Kong while under the influence. If he knows what's good for him, he will apologize for making "The Spy Next Door." Since we pay in excess of $9.00 for a movie ticket these days, I think it's the least he can do for us.
