If you loved The Spy Next Door, try Scooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monster
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Brian Levant, and they both carry the cozy, playful mood tags, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Spy Next Door, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Scooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monster is
A Florida summer. A rented jet ski sputters out on Lake Erie. Ghostly green scum circles the docks, and Fred’s knot-tying fails. Velma’s glasses fog over with the steam of a lobster roast gone wrong. A 2010 kids’ flick asks: what surer way to lose a monster than by looking at him?
