Agent Cody Banks (2003) 7/10

Starring : Frankie Muniz, Hilary Duff, Angie Harmon, Keith David, Cynthia Stevenson, Arnold Vosloo, Ian McShane
Director : Harald Zwart
Running Time : 97 mins

Cody Banks (Muniz) is a normal high school teenager who is enlisted by the FBI as an undercover special agent to help protect Natalie Connors (Duff) the daughter of a scientist who has mistakenly become involved with criminals who wish to steal his highly destructive nanobots and use them to hold the world hostage.

This is actually quite a fun movie, with Muniz making an amiable transition from television to the bigscreen. Duff is a little weak as the damsel in distress, but she doesn't really need to try her best because the plot doesn't really call for it. McShane is nicely understated as the villain of the piece, and Vosloo makes for an intersting kids movie villain.
