Let's be real: this movie is bad. Not 'so bad it's good' bad—just boring, formulaic bad. Jackie Chan deserved better, and so do your kids.
The 12% critic score and 27 Metacritic aren't flukes. This is a cynical cash-grab that wastes a talented cast on a script that feels like it was written by an algorithm in 2003. The spy-babysitting premise has potential, but the execution is so lazy and predictable that even young kids—the target audience—gave it a lukewarm 40% on RT.
Is it safe? Sure. Will it traumatize anyone? No. But will anyone actually enjoy watching it in 2025? Highly unlikely. There are dozens of better family action-comedies available on the same streaming platforms. Unless your kid is specifically obsessed with Jackie Chan and has already exhausted his entire filmography (in which case, show them the good stuff like Rush Hour or Shanghai Noon), skip this one.
The WISE score reflects reality: this is technically family-friendly content that checks basic safety boxes, but it's so poorly made and unengaging that it fails at its primary job—entertaining families. Your time is worth more than this.
