Spies in Disguise: Surprisingly Funny with Jokes for all Ages

Spies in Disguise stars Will Smith as a spy turned into a pigeon and Tom Holland as the lab agent who turned him into one. The trailer for this movie didn’t thrill me at first. The premise seemed very lowbrow and unimaginative. But when I saw the movie I was pleasantly surprised.

First off the movie has a good overall message about not using violence to solve problems. Tom Holland’s character builds devices that are non-lethal but effective. Also that fighting violence with violence creates a vicious and nonstop cycle. This is a good lesson especially in a children’s animated movie.

The jokes in this movie are very clever and thought out. There are jokes about bird cloacas and how birds pee and poop from the same place. In the trailer you see Will Smith pigeon lay and egg from getting startled and the movie explains why it’s possible because he’s a male. It’s important the children’s movies have jokes for the adults as well that way the whole family can enjoy them. Especially if the adult jokes go over the kids heads.

There are many moments when the animation really stands out in Spies in Disguise. There is one device that deflates people and the animation is so amazing and creepy at the same time. When people talk their mouths are spread all over and it’s the most visually interesting sequence in the movie. I recommend Spies in Disguise for families to see. It has something for everybody. 🍔🍔🍔
