Remember the Bob Hope movies where he played a bumbling spy or guy next door?  Somehow the plot of The Spy Next Door starring Jackie Chan as Bob Ho, an undercover CIA superspy, reminds me of those Bob Hope movies.  

And yes, this is a movie for kids.

The latest Jackie Chan movie centers on Bob who decides to give up his career in espionage to settle down with his next-door neighbor and girlfriend, Gillian (Amber Valletta). But Bob has one more mission to complete before Gillian agrees to marry him: winning over her three opinionated kids. 

When Gillian suddenly has to leave town, Bob volunteers to babysit the children so he can earn their approval. But when one of the kids mistakenly downloads a top-secret formula from his computer, Bob’s archenemy, a Russian terrorist, moves in for the attack, forcing Bob to juggle the roles of spy and prospective stepfather in the most challenging mission of his career!
