Critics Consensus

There are far worse family viewing options, but given the talent assembled, Secret Headquarters is a disappointingly bland and muddled action movie.

Tomris Laffly

AV Club

Despite its vintage Spielbergian vibes, Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman’s family-friendly escapade doesn’t bother with essential storytelling devices like world-building, emotional climaxes, or even basic character development.

Rated: D+

There's probably enough going on in "Secret Headquarters" for some young audiences to have a good time, but parents, please: Have your kids' best interests at heart and steer them elsewhere.

Rated: 1/4

Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack)

It’s lighthearted, formulaic, and cute — your kids will like it and you can look up from the book you’re reading during the dialogue scenes.

Rated: 2/4

KGET-TV (Bakersfield, CA)

The film has a few interesting moments but Wilson’s laid back style coupled with a weak performance by Michael Pena as the major nemesis leaves this tale in a state of blah.

Rated: C

Some will hate it while others will enjoy it for what it is. That is key here – enjoy it for what it is. It was never aiming to be a blockbuster.

Rated: 2.5/5

The film could use a little more Wilson and a lot less Pena.

If you have children between say 6 and 12 or on the fringes…definitely a great movie to watch on family night.

Where is all this hate coming from? I loved this movie! The action was fun to watch and the characters were funny, great chemistry between the cast! 😊

A derivative outing that adds little to the genre, amid attempted original circumstantial prompt with expected comedically advantageous antics which honestly we don't see often. But it was frivolously directed under aimless repetition of unjustifiably prolonging indecision towards cheesy ridiculing. It does attract with a nice cast providing suitable dynamics, certain few at expected/experienced charisma, then secondary consideration over its directors attempting to branch out their directorial horizon. Overall, it lands near proficiency at minimal satisfaction without impressing much. (B-)

I don't understand these other people! This movie is good! The comedy is ACTUALLY funny and it's combat near the end reminds me of a MCU battle! Also this is WAY better than Netflix's woke bullcrap, "Thunder Force"!

It's a kids world. I think it was age appropriate, funny, and looked great.
