精彩对白

Nora: Mom! Jethro's eating my underwear! Here, piggy, piggy, piggy. Jethro.

Ian: Mom, before she starts, there isn't a shred of evidence to support her allegations.

Farren: Gillian, your son is a psycho. He booby-trapped my hair dryer.

Ian: Nice hypothesis, but you can't prove it.

Farren: Yeah, but I can hurt you. Mom! Mom! She needs to be medicated.

Nora: Come on, Jethro. Come here.

Farren: I hate this family. Come here.

Nora: Jethro, you're getting a time out.

Gillian: Come on, guys. Backpack.

Farren: What? It's in style.

Gillian: It's inappropriate. Go put on some jeans. And spit out the gum. So, what color do you want to wear today? Red? Blue? Purple?

Nora: Pink, Momma, pink.

Gillian: Farren. 

Farren: What? You said jeans.

Gillian: I meant in your size. Come on, guys. Come on. We don't want to be late. There you go. Come on, sweetie.

Farren: No! Get out!

Gillian: No fighting.

Bob: Allow me.

Gillian: Hi. Are we still on for dinner?

Bob: I'll be there.

Gillian: We have an audience.

Farren: Yuck. I'm going to vomit.

Ian: He is such a loser.

Nora: I like Bob. He's nice.

Farren: He's a boring pen importer. He does the same routine every day. He's like a robot.

Ian: That's 'cause he is a robot. A cyborg, sent from the future, to destroy humanity. Starting with us.

Gillian: Well, it's been three months. Happy anniversary. What is it?

Bob: I have to tell you about my job. This might shock you, but you should know everything before this relationship goes further.

Gillian: Don't, Bob.

Bob: What?

Gillian: I'm very happy when I'm with you.  No one has ever made me laugh like you do, and if I were a single woman, I could see a real future for us. But I'm a package deal.

Bob: What do you mean?

Gillian: My kids are my priority and... How can I put this gently?

Bob: They hate me.

Gillian: Yeah.

Bob: I can make them like me. See?

Gillian: See? You can't make kids like you, not mine or anyone's. My kids have been through a lot, and... I don't think we should take the next step until they warm up to you.

Bob: Doesn't your happiness count? Excuse me. Sorry, I gotta go. Emergency at work.

Gillian: No ink?

Bob: It's much bigger. Sorry, really. I will explain everything tomorrow.

Gillian: Okay. I'll see you tomorrow.[page]

      前中央情报局秘密特工鲍勃曾是行业内最优秀的一员之一：暗杀、渗透、调查、甚至捣毁强大的犯罪团伙老巢，都不在话下。但在日常生活中，这位戴着黑边眼镜的华裔爷们儿却处处显得招数乏味，甚至木讷三分。眼下，在与心仪的邻家女交往的过程中更是遭遇困难重重，尤其是和她三个调皮的小孩儿，更是难以相处且难以应付，超级特工常常是在照顾孩子们的时候遭遇各种“不测”——厨房翻天、烤箱浓烟、垃圾桶陷阱……三个小家伙对这位对老妈痴情的四眼男更是鄙视加蔑视。
      不过，一切糟糕的现状在小孩子无意间下载到一个神秘的编码之后而发生巨变——为了灭口，无数杀手包围并锁定了四个小孩儿以及他们可怜的小家。超级特工此时有了用武之地，他擅用的各种强大无比的超级设备很快被安装在了邻居的家里，孩子们也在危机降临之时乖乖地听从鲍勃的指挥，并一同加入到了反击恶势力的队伍当中。
一场特工保姆引领的孩童反击战打响了……
     父亲送孩子的一桶爆米花
     《邻家特工》为我们讲述了一个“临时爸爸”和三个调皮儿女斗法的故事。从不断出现的令人捧腹的镜头中，我们看到的是一个温情父亲对孩子的那种发自内心的关爱。可以说影片是通过幽默的视角、无厘头的镜头来诠释父爱的伟大。这与以往影片侧重表现母爱的主题不同，一定程度上折射出了男性在家庭中的地位转变。父亲不再是滔滔不绝、满篇大道理的高不可攀的样子了，成龙饰演的“临时奶爸”，一方面是小男人的居家、勤勉、面对调皮孩子的无奈，同时也兼备了大男人的果敢、力量。虽然片中角色定位是保姆，但其实是一个后现代的父亲形象。因此，有影评人认为这个片子是难得一见的适合父亲带孩子去看的电影，被誉为“父亲送孩子的第一桶爆米花”。
