The trouble with movies for kids is that so many of them star kid actors, most of whom mug and give line readings as flat as a soggy paper plate. And so it is with this third installment of Spy Kids, a film of interest only because it attempts to revive the 3-D process. Yes, if you wear those annoying cardboard specs, objects on the screen will fly out at you. Big whoop. The third-dimension stuff happens when Spy Kids 3D: Game Over sticks its two young secret-agent heroes, siblings Carmen (Vega) and Juni Cortez (Sabara), inside a virtual-reality game where they must outwit a master criminal (Stallone—yo, welcome back) out to rule the world. Ever sat next to a child who was playing Game Boy for hours? This is worse. (PG)
BOTTOM LINE: Tired stuff, no matter how many dimensions
