AGENT CODY BANKS(MGM Home Entertainment): The kids will love this fantasy about a nerdish teen-ager (Frankie Muniz) who leads a double life as a CIA agent.

The movie is silly, but harmless. The two-sided disc features the film in widescreen and standard formats.

The extras include outtakes, bloopers, several featurettes, including one entitled “How to Talk to Girls” and another showing Muniz and co-star Angie Harmon learning their martial arts moves.

The commentary features Muniz, along with the film's director and Harmon, reminiscing about the film as they watch it.

The youngsters will enjoy this action-adventure outing. It should make a fine DVD baby sitter.
