Mike and Minkey must team-up to foil the baddies when a sinister villain, Dr. Farley (Richard Kind) kidnaps Mike's twelve-year-old daughter Amelia (Emma Roberts), a scientific wunderkind. When Farley plans to use an expanded version of Amelia's invention -- a groundbreaking chemical drill -- to take over the world, only Mike and his furry companion can thwart Farley's fiendish plot. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Susan Walker, Toronto Star
It's a half-baked movie that looks strangely dated (it was actually made in 2003), underfinanced and simplistic next to films with the same theme, like the Spy Kids series.
-
Maria Llull, Common Sense Media
So-so spy movie for kids featuring Emma Roberts.
-
David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
...a tedious and thoroughly puerile ordeal.

Kevin Carr, 7M Pictures
Your tolerance for Spymate is going to be directly related to your tolerance for animal tricks.

It's like having feces thrown at you - in movie form!
