(Rated PG, approx. 99 mins.)
Espionage for kids returns in the sequel that seems less setup and lots more cool gadgets. In a still troubled world, move over Men in Black, it’s Carmen (Alexa Vega) and Juni (Daryl Sabara), two top-secret agents to save it! Or something like that. Their newest mission takes them to a mysterious island where they meet a wildly inventive genetic scientist (Steve Buscemi), while fighting their own competition with this time wee-fry-spy rivals Gary (Matt O’Leary) and Gerti (Emily Osment, sister to Haley Joel). The only difference between this one and the first installment? Smarter, wittier, with rapid-fast speed and they bring the entire family along for the adventure. Refreshing parents (Carla Gugino and Antonio Banderas) are back, with an addition of meddling grandparents (Ricardo Montalban and Holland Taylor).
