The set-up is familiar - leading superheroes are kidnapped by aliens, and their superpowered children are called upon to rescue them - and this decent but slightly cheap-looking movie sees Robert Rodriguez mining a similar style, tone and visual palette to his Spy Kids franchise, so you know what to expect. There are a couple of nicely-delivered gags, the child actors are variable but tolerable, the lurid pop colour palette gets wearing inevitably, and the unsurprising messages of discovering yourself and learning the importance of others is hardly subtle, but the film is good-natured enough and will please its young target audience immensely.
