Real spies... only smaller.
Carmen and Juni think their parents are boring. Little do they know that in their day, Gregorio and Ingrid Cortez were the top secret agents from their respective countries. They gave up that life to raise their children. Now, the disappearances of several of their old colleagues forces the Cortez' return from retirement. What they didn't count on was Carmen and Juni joining the "family business."

Decent watch, probably won't watch again, but could recommend for a younger audience. There just isn't enough here for an older audience. Maybe parents will get a kick out of seeing this and imagining their kids....but given the amount of sibling infighting, probably not. Alan Cumming absolutely steals the show with his Willy Wonka impersonation, and I'm furious that he didn't get the role over Depp when they did…
