Ebert & Roeper review (2001): Spy Kids, Tomcats, Someone Like You & Amores Perros

[@JW93581]

"I loved the villains made out of thumbs!" "Well you may be thumb bias after all these years" 🤣

[@BloggerMusicMan]

Spy Kids hasn't held up for me as an adult, but I really liked it as a kid. So did most kids I knew. I think Ebert got this one right.

[@J4sse]

Spy Kids is NOT too violent and scary for young children, it is just right. I can understand it being ugly but i don't think it's too silly if my opinion counts as a 21-year-old. Carmen and Juni definitely are cute and they did fine. Roeper was off!

2:05 - "I think someone put acid in the Kool Aid here." - Richard Roeper

[@ScootyPuffSr7]

The role of the surgeon who removes Jake Busey's testicle in Tomcats is played by David Ogden Stiers who went to high school with Roger Ebert. It was nice of Ebert not to mention him in his review and make sure that he wasn't in any of the clips from this terrible movie.

[@stefanmovieflixtomasi]

David Odgen Stiers from my childhood favourites went to high school with Ebert? That’s awesome

[@billscannell93]

I remember Ebert saying that in his written review. It is hard to comprehend why and how a guy like that ended up in a role like that.

[@markoportuondo7375]

Roeper ain’t entirely wrong. Spy Kids did kinda give the creeps just a slight bit when I was 5. Lol

[@tserriednichprince7961]

EBERT COMIN IN HOT WITH SPY KIDS It has got me fired UP. I love that movie lmao

[@J4sse]

HE CALLED EBERT THUMB BIASED! 😂😂🤣😅😭💀

[@joshm3584]

Those visuals Roger loved about spy kids do not hold up at all, have to give it to Roeper on this one.

[@hevyonez97]

"Amores Perros" is my #1 film of 2001, totally fantastic filmmaking and storytelling...very similar in style to "Pulp Fiction" is taking 3 different stories and then making the main characters come together at various points of the film...always enjoying something new and different when watching it...👍🏿😎⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🎬🎞📽

[@ABCRapster]

It’s considered to be a revolutionary movie in Mexican cinema!

[@CJmovie92]

Now, were in the 2020s, I would have loved to see Carey mulligan teach these "Tomcats" pigs a lesson, if her "Promising Young Woman" character did some time traveling.

Spy Kids 👍🌟🌟🌟 Amores Perros 👍🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@funnyguy7574]

Spy Kids probably one of the biggest rentals of all time

[@nicktaylor2657]

Tomcats was horrible 😠

[@KRhetor]

I actually thought it was even worse than Freddy Got Fingered. Freddy was painful and disgusting but it didn't rouse hatred towards the filmmakers the way Tomcats did, which is one of the most loathsomely misogynistic films ever made.

[@reneperez7903]

Spy Kids is great 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tomcats 👎 0.5 out of 4 Someone Like You 👍⭐️⭐️.5 out of 4

[@TheReedable]

Spy Kids was the dumbest movie that could ever have been created. THere is a reason he has a hard time being successful in the business.

[@stefanmovieflixtomasi]

IMHO, Sharkboy and Lavagirl is the worst and dumbest movie ever made!

[@TheReedable]

@@stefanmovieflixtomasi lol I must have completely forgotton that movie

[@stefanmovieflixtomasi]

@@TheReedable LOL, I don’t have a problem with Spy Kids but Sharkboy and Lavagirl is the worst in my eyes lol. Mediocre storytelling, lousy acting and humour etc. Spy Kids had more action, adventure, comedy and less drama

[@sadikperez7564]

I seeing Tomcats and Spy Kids

[@codywelter5302]

Spy kids was my childhood

[@blastbeatindustries3191]

Roeper was soooooooo wrong about Spy Kids.

[@Soundtracks92]

Same here! I saw Spy Kids 16 times at the theater!

[@uyeda]

I have Spy Kids on video. I didn't see the second one. I did see the third one.

[@zacharysiple629]

The 2nd one is really good for what it is. Not as good as the first, but close. Skip the rest of them IMO.

[@Soundtracks92]

As much as I like the first Spy Kids, I think Spy Kids 2 is even better! The 3rd is pretty bad though in my opinion. And I think Spy Kids 4 is atrociously bad. The first 2 movies are really good though and fun!

[@J4sse]

0:52 Spy Kids

[@ericfelds6291]

Was not bothered by it at all, Roepers totally out of his element

[@malichitte]

Tomcats ain’t worth nothing.

[@mccallosone4903]

man, 2001-10 may be the worst decade for movies

[@Maniac1607]

Roeper was a bit of a tight-ass.

[@ericfelds6291]

He’s still a film critic

[@ryangettig274]

Shannon Elizabeth look's as much a Dude as Jerry O'Connell?:)

[@marcomacias3960]

i wonder one thing: critics liked Spy Kids and the 93% on Rotten Tomatoes said it yet the audience score is 47%. Roeper may have a point on the way the film is. it is visually awful. and i know why the audience don't like it either.

[@Xayjohns]

I liked Spy Kids. Back then at least. Because I was 9.

[@ericcalicci8775]

I liked the first three movies when I was a kid

[@sakunaruful]

I rewatched them recently. The first two films hold up with story and characters. The third film has couple good parts but is the weakest of the trilogy.

[@billscannell93]

I will never be popular for saying so, but I trust the critics far more than the public, unfortunately.

[@stefanmovieflixtomasi]

Someone Like You is a forgettable romantic comedy. It tries to make She’s All That look like As Good As It Gets. When I first watched this, it looked terrible and I skipped it. Plus I agree with Roger’s point about Ashley Judd
