Family spy act has iffy behavior, peril, and potty humor.

Fun movie with lots of laughs

A good mix of comedy and action. I watched with my 11 and 9 year old boys.

True to the family name, the third movie based on The Loud House series is a fun but flawed addition to the series, best enjoyed by those already familiar with the Loud family's tricks. As it turns up the volume on violence and bathroom jokes -- to the point of feeling excessive for the target audience -- No Time to Spy: A Loud House Movie remains remarkably faithful to the series' tone and style, featuring an intrinsic plot that leads to a heartwarming climax on the power of family and sacrifice. While the movie will entertain fans and even make critics chuckle a few times, it misses the opportunity to do more when it comes to breaking stereotypes. Gran-Gran's strength as a super spy is overshadowed by her desire to settle and have a family. Clyde is once again given a small role. The Loud sisters are still bickering and one-dimensional. Lincoln, on the other hand, may be at his most selfless.

Recurring gags using a toilet plunger to suck people's faces and scenes where a driver runs over by pedestrians because he's not paying attention might be funny to some but feel extreme and out of place. This movie's good for fans of the franchise who understand its humo; for newcomers, the balance of quirkiness and hostility may lean too heavily toward the latter.
