Spies in Disguise
Super spy Lance Sterling and scientist Walter Beckett are almost exact opposites. Lance is smooth, suave and debonair. Walter is… not. But what Walter lacks in social skills he makes up for in smarts and invention, creating the awesome gadgets Lance uses on his epic missions. But when events take an unexpected turn, Walter and Lance suddenly have to rely on each other in a whole new way.
Critics Sentiment
Lance transforms into a pigeon after drinking Walter's potion
Killian reveals his plan for revenge against HTUV
The film peaks with Lance's pigeon transformation generating consistent laughs, then dips significantly when the bland villain Killian takes center stage.
Spies in Disguise delivers a surprisingly entertaining animated adventure that exceeds modest expectations through Will Smith and Tom Holland's chemistry and the hilarious pigeon transformation concept. While the plot follows predictable spy thriller beats and suffers from a weak villain, the film succeeds with smooth animation, creative action sequences, and heartfelt anti-violence themes. Critics consistently praised the humor and voice acting while noting it's a solid family film that could have been even better with more investment.
