Abstract

The Spy Kids movie included the incredible depiction of
Latin actors for their time, but it does not represent well
the Spanish language because he uses it as a mockery
through the underlying stereotypes of Latinos in movies
such as Latino/a lover, the male jester and the false
idea that Spanish speakers are uneducated because
of their use of the language.
