Watch Baby-Wielding Jessica Alba Kick Ass in Ridiculous Spy Kids: All the Time in the World Trailer
If you had to sit through Robert Rodriguez's Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over, there's a good chance you will be forced to see the fourth installment of the Spy Kids franchise when it premieres Aug. 19. Unfortunately for you, Sylvester Stallone will not be reprising his role as the unintentionally hilarious villain toymaker, and even more unfortunately, not even Jessica Alba, Joel McHale, Ricky Gervais and the movie's Aromascope feature will be able to save the latest Spy Kids movie All the Time in the World from kid-approved ridiculousness. At least, that's what the latest trailer makes it seem like.
But then again, I am not the target audience for Spy Kids: All the Time in the World. So who am I to judge if Jessica Alba's character thinks the best way to tell her kids that she is an undercover agent is by dumping them into a Chuck E. Cheese ball pit and revealing humorlessly, "Hello, children. I am a spy." That's her business! We can't all be Pixar.
VERDICT: I'll pass, but my nieces and nephews sadly won't.
Head on over to Yahoo! Movies to see the All the Time in the World trailer in HD.

Did I see a doll of the superhero Monkey from Dexter's Laboratory?
Movieline can be very irritating with it's overtly biased articles. It's totally fine to trash or praise a film in a review, but Movielines articles are so opinionated when they really shouldn't be. Listen, everyone knows that Spy Kids 4 will be total garbage, but again, this isn't a review. The purpose of this article is to promote the trailer. There should be no opinions here.
The Spy Kids franchise has always been about "ridiculousness", because that's a kid's life. The franchise has its audience and I'm sure they'll all show up. May not be gangbusters, but the wee ones need something to watch at the theater.
Adult guardians have to go to these things too. Most Spy Kids fans are now teenagers or young adults anyway.
