With the war in Iran, anti-warlock protests, and our country's fragile emotional state, Americans need escapist cinema fun now more than ever. And with that in mind, I highly reccomend "Agent Cody Banks," a action/comedy/romp/yarn starring the irreplaceably rat-like child star Frankie Muniz. I've been a fan of "the Frankster" (as I call him) ever since he starred in the hit FOX show "Malcolm Jamal-Warner in the Middle" and have cherished his precocious wit all the way up to his first awkward steps into malformed puberty. (I count "Big Fat Liar" as one of my top 10 out of a hundred all time favorite movies with the word "fat" in the title - "Fat City" running a close second). Anywho, the movie is about a spy ("the Frankster"!) who does missions and stuff, but here's the kicker: he's a kid! (GA GA GA GAH GOOO?!?). You heard right, folks! That was no misprint. He's a kid spy and therein lies the side splitting comedy...Well, at least in the trailer anyway. I've been too busy knitting American flag underpants (so my shit will stink patriotic!) to actually see the movie, but I'm sure it's a regular "Frankster Fun Fest." I mean, trailers never lie. So here's your MISSION, moving going persons: go out and run screaming to your multiplex and SPY* on "Agent Cody Banks," a blockbuster that'll surely cure those war blues.
*By "SPY," I mean watch the movie.
