Spy x Family Movie: Code: White

Loid Forger, an elite spy, is warned by his handler that he may potentially be reassigned from his ongoing mission, Operation Strix. To maintain his position, he must make significant progress toward the operation's objectives, which involves having his adoptive daughter Anya earn sufficient Stella Stars to become an Imperial Scholar at Eden Academy.

After learning of a cooking contest that awards the winning student with a Stella Star, Loid researches the judge's preferred dessert to help increase Anya's odds. However, perfectly recreating the judge's favorite meremere requires more than just following a recipe. Thus, the Forgers embark on a vacation to the Frigis region to try an authentic meremere. Not all goes smoothly on the trip, as the Forger family ends up entwined in a sinister plot to reignite war between the countries of Ostania and Westalis.

This is what season two needed. Spy x Family finally embraces subtly, baking up this show into a sweet treat, mixing the film with the already grounded themes of family connection in a cold war espionage world, into an action-packed, explosively festive joy on the same proportions as Die Hard. It's a fiery movie that gets a lot of what the show does beautifully even more elegantly. It's clear as day this is the best thing to come out of the series, condensing everything about the show into a standalone movie anyone can enjoy.

For one, we finally get the authoritarian military commander who rules ... through fear, something that was absolutely needed in this show. The art direction in the film is outstanding! Wit Studio and CloverWorks showcase exceptional improvement within their own experimentation and composition. Not only is the writing witty, no stone is left unturned. Every piece of this puzzle fits. No matter how you look at it, Spy x Family: Code White took flight with the shows themes, combusting into a more expansive look on the series as a whole.

Even though the film embraces the slice of life side of season two, it leaves room for the subconscious comedy and absurdity that made the parent story so great. It's a dedication to balance, effortlessly switching between action, laughs, and heartwarming moments. Some top-notch, outlandish sequences in this fucking movie. Whether it's the surrealism of the Poop God's habitat, or the power of cosmetics. It maintains your attention and propels you into the craziness.

We just keep being stacked with more twists and turns, leading to a fiery finale where the makeshift family must unite to escape. A excellent family movie to play for the holidays. This movie is an absolute must for fans of the show and even works as a showcase of the show for those unfamiliar. Even if it's not canon, this is the best of Spy x Family. Don't miss this!

Mixed Feelings

I can only sum up this movie like this; give me my 2 hours back

It's absolutely skippable. You can consider it filler if you want. More Spy Family slice of life and that's about it. It's a self contained story that doesn't really change, add or remove anything from the main plot. They just wanted to make something to cash in more on the 'story".

Good points:
- Anya's faces were the highlight of the movie for me. Very funny, cute and derpy
- Some action scenes were decent (just don't expect Demon Slayer quality)

Bad points:
- It's filler, nothing important happens for the story
...
If you really just want more slice of life with Anya, watch it.

If you just want to keep up with the main story, movie is completely skippable.

If you enjoy the anime for the family dynamics, which is arguably the main "catch" for the series, the film will fall short.

The art and technical aspects of the film are all good; the production is noticeably higher than that of the anime series.
But certain plot elements are ridiculous to a degree even the TV chapters do not dare go.
The main characters' powers are too convenient and overexaggerated in the movie to a point it's difficult to hold the same suspension of disbelief that the TV series managed to create.

The plot sadly does not revolve around each character's unique traits and secrets (super spy, professional ... assassin, telepathy), it just uses these traits for gags and plot convenience. Yor's final battle is cool, but adds nothing to the story. Loid wasn't on any particular secret mission, he just so happened to be in the right place and right time where WISE would then learn he was needed. They had to use the dog (mr. Bond) to make Anya advance two of the three most significant plot points (both very similar- Anya reads dog's mind, acts on it, and gets in trouble).

The other plot point, the most natural and convincing if you follow the series (baking a cake for the principal) and which initially puts the story into motion, seems abandoned and pointless by the end of the movie.
Had the story focused on this one element, instead of derailing into a stupid and random sudden military adventure, perhaps it would've made for a good film.
