High school student Cody Banks wants nothing more than what every other teen wants: to survive the banality of adolescence and become an adult. However, Banks is no ordinary teen; he's a CIA agent. When he's not doing his homework, Banks is on the case, spying on fellow student Natalie Connors to get close to her father, a scientist who has invented killer nanobots designed to bring down the country.

Critics Consensus

Should satisfy young teens, but offers nothing new for those who are familiar with the formula.

Only a kid could love it, but they do.

Zwart pulls out enough stops in action sequences involving jet-propelled skateboards, stunt drives and mountain rescues to keep the ball rolling nicely.

Never quite as funny as it could have been, Agent Cody Banks is nevertheless far too genial to dislike.

I have a feeling Muniz could have done much more with this role under the right director and with a better script.

The Bond films never feel dated, and neither does Agent Cody Banks. It still plays well, and for that credit the special effects that compare favorably to today's films and the fact that high school never seems to change.

Agent Cody Banks is a delightfully cheesy film that was fun to watch in my youth, especially when considering its early 2000s context and starring young Frankie Muniz at the height of his fame and Hilary Duff co-starring. Grading: C+

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom, o filme colocou um adolescente paraser agente e o filme ficou Fraco, com tudo isso, eu não recomendo esse filme.

The kids might like this story of a teen cia agent, but anyone older than 12ish will be bored.

Its a fun movie. Obviously nobody reviewing it here was a kid when it came out. This was the equivalent to James Bond for teenagers back then. A whole generation remember this movie series fondly. The 2nd was even better imo.
