Skip it. This Jackie Chan family-action-comedy hybrid tries to blend spy thrills with heartwarming babysitting lessons, but lands squarely in the middle of nowhere—too juvenile for adults seeking real action, too boring for kids who want actual laughs. Unless you're a completist Jackie Chan fan or desperately need background noise, your evening has better options.

Plot

Former CIA spy Bob Ho takes on his toughest assignment to date: looking after his girlfriend's three kids, who haven't exactly warmed to their mom's beau. And when one of the youngsters accidentally downloads a top-secret formula, Bob's longtime nemesis, a Russian terrorist, pays a visit to the family.
