Spy missions for the CIA may be difficult and dangerous, but they're  nothing compared to the challenges of raising a family. Bob Ho (Jackie  Chan) is a Chinese spy on loan to the CIA, but to Gillian (Amber  Valletta) and her kids Farren (Madeline Carroll), Ian (Will Shadley),  and Nora (Alina Foley), he's just a neighbor and pen salesman. Gillian  and Bob are attracted to one another, and Bob is ready to tell Gillian  what he really does for a living. He's prepared to retire from his  career in espionage so they can take their relationship to the next  level. Unfortunately for Bob, Gillian's kids are less than impressed  with their nerdy neighbor, and that means his relationship with Gillian  can't move forward. When Gillian has to leave town suddenly, Bob  volunteers to take care of the children in hopes of "making them" like  him. Ian inadvertently downloads a secret file from Bob's computer, and  suddenly the Russian terrorist Poldark (Magnus Sheving) is bent on  destroying Bob and the children. As if Bob weren't having enough trouble  negotiating the daily duties of making the children's breakfast,  getting them to school, and keeping track of young Nora in the local  mall, he unexpectedly discovers that one of his CIA coworkers is working  for the Russians (George Lopez and Billy Ray Cyrus play Bob's  colleagues). Bob finds himself alone in the fight of a lifetime as he  battles to keep the children safe from the violent Russian and his  associates.The Spy Next Dooris full of action-packed martial  arts scenes that highlight Jackie Chan's prowess and will inspire much  mock fighting and begging for lessons by school-age children, but it's  also a funny take on the very real difficulties of dating and parenting  that adults will readily relate to. While there is a fair amount of  fighting in the film, it is tastefully rendered and won't upset most  children ages 7 and older.--Tami HoriuchiStills fromThe Spy Next Door(Click for larger  image)
