Agent Cody Banks

Remember that kid from Malcolm in the Middle?  Well by the early 2000's he was in his prime and trying his hand at the action genre.  Agent Cody Banks is a teen CIA agent sent to stalk? a teenage girl (Hillary Duff) to gain intel on her scientist father and foil a diabolical plot.  I reckon that Agent Cody Banks follows the spy/Bond genre very well but unlike today's Bond, Banks is a heap more fun.

Rating:  We like action/comedy movies and this one was a lot of fun.  Good plot, great characters and some potty humour; an entertaining evening was had by all.

Naughty bits:  There is a lot of fighting but it's mostly cartoonish, however one scene in particular our kid did NOT like (spoiler alert) which was when the bad guy came to a rather grisly end.  It was a little graphic and scary but didn't last long (long enough for her though).  I was annoyed by the treatment and tarty dress code of the female spy; I guess in that way Agent Cody Banks was more like a Bond movie than it should be.  The language is pretty clean.
