The movie is certainly worth watching thanks to free acting by Simkins. There are many funny moments in the movie especially involving Simkins. This young kid lightens up the mood.
Keep your logical mind aside and just enjoy the movie.
Good watch, would watch again, and can recommend.
This movie has a lot of good surprises to it.
I'm not a big fan of Malin Akerman, but I'm not going to say she's not good in action sequence (and she does it in heels), but Joe Manganiello and Ken Marino (who is credited in IMDB as "Glen" though there is a whole running joke with his name being "Ron") both sort of rule the spotlight when they're on screen and she gets overshadowed even though she's the "main" character (at least out of the adults).
The kids mostly do an amazing job, I think they'll be worth watching as they grow in their careers.
The only big "problem" I'm seeing in this is that you're crossing a heist movie with a rescue movie, with kids.....and it feels a lot like "Dora and the Lost City of Gold" they're is even 4 of them, 2 are related. It's more likely just a coincidence of similarities, but it's a god comparison of when it gets noisy versus how to make it more seemless (Dora wins).
Can't imagine this will be disappointing watch for younger audiences, and it's definitely good enough for adults too.

Clancy is a 15 year old girl in suburbia. She fights with her overprotective mother (Malin Akerman). Her father (Ken Marino) is a baker. Her younger brother Kevin tells tall tales. Her best friend Mim is sassy. Kevin has a sleepover with friend Lewis. The four kids are launched into a night of crazy adventures when the parents get kidnapped and they discover that their mother is a former high class thief in witness protection. The mother is reunited with former lover Leo (Joe Manganiello) to steal a valuable crown.
I like all the actors. This is like a combination of Spy Kids and Adventures in Babysitting except less, stupider, and cheaper. It's not the end of the world. I still like the characters for the most part. The kids are all great but it probably has too much of the adults. Jay should definitely be a grizzly old man living in the abandoned subway. This is a Netflix flick which seems to be more than a Disney TV movie but less than a full theatrical release.

Not for adults, but for children a pretty exciting and nice spy-like movie. They seemed to like it! So their rating is 7.
Btw, I love Netflix...

Not the best story, mediocre acting but If you don't expect too much, it is quite enjoyable. A casual family action comedy movie with sufficient entertainment. I did enjoy watching it without pause.
