OK, so I know that neither Frankie Muniz nor the creators of Agent Cody Banks actually invented the over-the-sunglasses-pulled-down-the-nose-stare. That was invented by a Diet Sprite commercial. Probably. Something like that. If anything, Frankie Muniz and the creators of Agent Cody Banks were commenting on a worn out visual trope, and placing their own sardonic spin on what had already become a cliche. But that only makes Ashton Kutcher’s stupid poster for his stupid movie even funnier. Besides, starting rumors is fun. Maybe CNN will pick up on this story. They seem pretty lazy these days. And then maybe this will become an actual lawsuit. If nothing else, it would be a great way to celebrate the memory of the late, great actor Frankie Muniz. (ATTENTION: As his lawyers remind us, the great actor Frankie Muniz is alive and well. It turns out that YouTube videos made in 2007 by high schoolers as a joke are less obviously ridiculous and transparently untrue as you might think! Our apologies to the family and friends of Frankie Muniz who read Videogum, and good luck to Mr. Muniz and the rest of Phoenix Arizona’s own You Hang Up.)

I would have guessed agent horatio caine.

Its Subcomandante Hleb! Show some respect.
Respect, motherfuckers.
I see we can also credit Preston Waters with the Ray Ban Wayfarer trend. Nicely done.
Hell, Preston was even rocking a Mac back in ’94. Williamsburg owes a lot to this guy.
not to mention the flannel shirt and ironic baseball cap
I don’t know what’s more impressive, a child spy who rides hoverboards and shit, or a ten year old who was able to commit grand larceny on a prominent criminal and then successfully commit fraud on a well known Fran Drescher.
He also murdered some people.
Also, that might be the best movie tagline I’ve ever seen.
Well, he got it wrong. As we all know, the correct thing to do with a million bucks is “two chicks at the same time.”
I don’ t know. While we all know Lawrence is a certified genius, I think go kart tracks, velcro sumo wrestling suits, unlimited ice cream, a second story pool slide, and a goofy limo driver (who drives me around because some asshole ran over my bike) seems like a much better investment.
And also, he’s ten, so yuck.
this. movie. ruled.
Has anyone else (re-)watched this movie recently? He bought SO MUCH SHIT with that million dollars! There is no way goods were that cheap in 1994.
What was weird was that the kid almost Pacey’d that older chick in the movie, too. And I think, when I was 9 and watched it, I kind of wanted them to hook up?
I find it hard to believe he can fit a million dollars in his terrible backpack.
Is it even name-brand?
Lol this movie
Well, if you’re going to steal, you steal from the best.
If you feel like stealing, take things from the best people.
It took me a second to get that. Well played.
Toooo soooon
Whats the matter connie?
Sweet friend, the pain is still too near.
For I am not ready to reminisce about something that happened an hour ago.
That was supposed to be a well thought out and articulated comment about the pablum that we as a society accept as cinema and how the system regurgitates ideas year after year, squeezing every bit of life out of an already rotting corpse that is mainstream moviegoing, but I accidentally posted that.
I heart you so much.
Man, I don’t want this to appear on werttrew’s list for Videogum insiders!
But I did laugh at this. A lot.
I swear, every time this gif repeats itself, and I see her put down those cookies again and again, she just seems more and more angrier than the time before…
I promise to upvote this whenever you post it. Be like that Amelia guy.
Why the downvoting? Just let jim reaper be great (at blindly approving).
Topher Grace would never rip off Frankie Muniz

Did Frankie Muniz watch Avatar?
In that he longed to enjoy the beauty of the alien world Pandora and tears and shivers and suicide.
It’s not funny if you explain it, Bumblelion (was it ever?).
It wouldn’t be the first time. “My Boss’s Daughter” was a direct rip-off of MY LIFE.
Aren’t we forgetting the greatest sunglasses over the nose moment in cinema ever?
Cock.
I’m too young to remember this movie, but judging by the poster, was it about a car that ran over really tall women?
For those of you who weren’t alive in 1983, you have no idea how many dipshits were walking around with Wayfarers on because of this movie.
Have you noticed how misproportioned and weird Tom Cruise’s lips are under the fade? I never saw that before.
Now where have I seen that scary grin before-
*shudders*
I can’t take my eyes off his weird snarl! His mouth is gross!
In fact I bet that’s why they faded it out with the girl on the Porsche… They paid someone to paint(!) young Tom Cruise and then they saw it and they were like, “He’s not a cannibal in this movie…” and had to put the girl on the Porsche in there to remind people that it was a happy movie about sexy things.
Well I certainly can’t un-see it.
Haven’t you noticed how malproportioned and weird Tom Cruise is?
I hope Killers wins the Oscar for best use of a GQ cover in a movie poster.
gq wouldn’t allow that on the cover! the glasses are too small. they burn my ocd eyes.
Isn’t this the same plot of True Lies/Mr. and Mrs. Smith?
Only starring this guy
i hate this poster because those glasses are TOO SMALL for that fool’s head (not frankie, the other fool).
I enjoy your posts bc boobz
Shade Tippin’, YEAH.

That was so thorough!
Aww… Corey Haim never got to tip those shades
have you SEEN “License to Kill”?
on a side note http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,367868,00.html
Still Tippin
That was PERFECT.
Cinefile video store in L.A. used to have a whole shade tippin’ section reserved for all those videos. It and the retard movie section would crack me up every time.
What retarded movies?
All I could think of is Forrest Gump and the Other Sister.
You can throw Tropic Thunder and that Johnny Knoxville movie (all of them) but they don’t really count.
Ashton Kutcher’s character in this movie was originally named Spencer Kornfeld, which isn’t very funny if you are just a regular person but it is funny if your dad is named Spencer Kornfeld (and mine is).
The photoshopping on Kutcher’s poster is awful.
Why is Ashton’s coat so terribad? That pocket is too big! The whole thing is just ill-fitting! And put your collar and lapels back down you ragamuffin, you don’t look fly! This is so upsetting.
his lapels are vulgar
Ashton Kutcher says: Relax.
does anybody think that the amount of photoshopping done on Kutcher left him looking bieber-ish/pre-teen lesbianish?
