What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that there's some brief gross-out humor (most kids will love it) and some tense peril (no one gets hurt). Everything that appears very scary at first turns out to be friendly and cooperative. As in the first film, the movie is outstanding in showing women and Latinos in key roles.
- Families can talk about the President's daughter's feelings about not getting enoough attention from her father. What do you think about Juni's advice to her? What do you think will happen? We see three different families in the movie. How are they different? How do you think Gary's view that "a good spy makes no binding connections wth family or friends" makes him feel as a son? As a spy? If that is your rule, how do you know who to trust and how do you know what is right? How have Carmen and Juni changed since the first movie? Why was it hard for Ingrid's parents to accept Gregorio? What should he do about that? How do both Carmen and Juni and their parents show their need to be independent?
