If you are looking for a decent family film, Agent cody Banks is the way to go. I heard so many bad things about it, I had to check it out myself. This is like watching James Bond as a teeneager, except Bond is a lot smoother with the ladies. The story is a little weak, but hey, this is for kids. It grabs you right away with Muniz trying to save a kid in a car as it is rolling down a hill. A real scene grabber. Frankie Muniz does a good job of playing an awkward teenager, struggling through the daily life of a teenager. Angie Harmon does a decent job as well playing the role of Banks CIA handler. She doesn't get too weird and handles her role solidly. I always enjoy watching Keith David. That guy is so cool. The special effects didn't look all that great and were pretty cartoonish looking and the fight scenes were porrly choreographed. Still, this is a fun little movie, and I enjoyed it.
