Action/Adventure: A 15-year-old junior agent for the CIA must overcome his shyness around girls when he's assigned to infiltrate the life of a female classmate and find out what her inventor dad is doing with some international criminals.
Cody, Ronica, Natalie and her dad try to escape the villain's lair as various parts of it explode and/or fall apart (in a several minute sequence with various close calls, all of which might be rather intense for younger viewers).
Cody uses his X-ray glasses to look at two young women and we see X-ray type views of them that highlight their bras and panties (two male agents like the view in the surveillance van).

 Agent Cody Banks 2
Frankie Muniz himself returns as Agent Cody Banks and he never ceases to amaze me. The plot once again is completely ridiculous and over the top and half the time there is no entertainment.
Agent Cody Banks 2 stars of course the infamous Frankie Muniz and along with him this time is Anthony Anderson who plays Derek.
When Agent Cody Banks 2 came to an end, not only did the film come to an end, but Frankie Muniz's career came to an end.

Cody Banks (Muniz) seems like a typical teenager - he loves skateboarding, hates math, his mom drives him crazy, and he feels like a complete idiot around girls.
Everything in Agent Cody Banks, from tacky special effects, inscrutable action scenes and drab visuals (including substituting Vancouver for Seattle), panders to its audience.
Cody Banks would probably be appropriate for the 13-and-older crowd, but it’s far too dopey for teenage sophisticates.

 Agent Cody Banks
Cody Banks is that this film is geared towards a younger audience, the kid is an American, and hence he works for the CIA and not MI6.
In the case of Cody Banks, he is called up to get close to the attractive Natalie Connors (Hilary Duff, Human Nature), the only daughter of the eccentric, but brilliant, Dr. Connors (Martin Donovan, Insomnia).
Banks’ mission is to get close to Natalie so that he will be invited to her birthday party where he can then find out what ERIS is up to and hopefully stop them.

 Agent Cody Banks (2003)
The fact that Cody Banks isn't exactly a typical 15-year-old is evident from the first frames of the movie, when the plucky adolescent uses his skateboarding prowess to stop a runaway Volvo careening down one of Seattle's steep hills.
Cody's role in stopping the fiendish plot is to get close to Connors' teenage daughter, Natalie (Hilary Duff), and find out what he can about the conspiracy.
The trouble — as Cody's sultry CIA handler Ronica Miles (Angie Harmon) soon discovers — is that the CIA might have spent $10 million training him in all things covert, but they neglected to send him to charm school.

Frankie Muniz as Cody Banks; Hannah Spearritt as Emily; Anthony Anderson as Derek; Daniel Roebuck as Mr.
Cody Banks is now 16 and still a vital part of an undercover CIA operation that utilizes kids for espionage and crime fighting.
If one overlooks for a moment that everything Cody does for the CIA is done without his parents’ knowledge—and therefore, without their approval—then it can be said that he exhibits selflessness and courage as he works on behalf of his country and for the benefit of all mankind.

Agent Cody Banks is the latest in a long line of James Bond spoof/ripoffs, some of which have been good and some of which have been not so good.
Agent Cody Banks appears to be aimed obviously at the generation of its protagonists, and so old farts like this reviewer found some of it a tad, well, unbelievable.

 SPLICEDwire | "Agent Cody Banks" review (2003) Harald Zwart, Frankie Muniz, Hilary Duff
Of course, there are a couple differences between James Bond and highly-trained CIA spook Cody Banks (played by "Malcolm In the Middle's" Frankie Muniz): 1) Cody is 15 and lives with his parents who don't know he's a spy, and 2) Cody is hopelessly inept at talking to girls.
Cody is introduced to his gadgets (including real-life X-Ray specs and a BMW-designed Street Carver skateboard) by a Q-like character ("Saturday Night Live's" insufferably hammy Darrell Hammond).
Muniz is both convincing and funny as an agent on training wheels, and as a frustrated dweeb slowly gaining some sense of cool (no thanks to an amusingly inept crash-course in courting from CIA "experts").

 Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London
Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London is a pointless sequel to a very mediocre original, that wasn't even that popular with audiences.
The CIA Director (Keith David, Hollywood Homicide, Head of State) sends Banks (Frankie Muniz, Agent Cody Banks, Deuces Wild) undercover as a clarinet prodigy (of course, he doesn't play the clarinet at all) to a prestigious music school run by Mrs.
Cody Banks 2 proves that Muniz is not aging gracefully.

 "Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London" / a review and/or comments from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
Cody and Derek, along with additional help from another spy youth from British Intelligence, Emily (Hannah Spearitt), share a multitude of action packed adventures together and save the world from the evil plot of Diaz and Kenworth, to control of the minds of the world’s leaders.
Cody’s younger brother, Alex, calls Cody a “whack job” and suggests trading his brother in for a “hot chick.” A man from the music hall tells Cody to “Haul some ass and get to class.” Other words or phrases such as “Suck,” “Limey,” “Bonehead,” and “Screwed up” are also used.
Cody is very smart and allows it to get in the way of treating several adults in the movie with respect--not the kind of example I want my younger kids to be influenced by.

 Agent Cody Banks (2003): Frankie Muniz, Hilary Duff, Angie Harmon - PopMatters Film Review
The titular undercover agent (Muniz) is a 15-year-old, secretly trained at a CIA camp, attempting to balance his spy duties with his everyday life.
Banks is certainly in over his head, but he's rarely allowed to be a child; as written, he's little more than yet another rookie agent.
Cody's shuttled from a generic public high school to a generic private high school, but there's no display of how he adapts to either.

 Slant Magazine - Film Review: Agent Cody Banks
A simulated teenage girl comes on to Cody but the only attention she gets is from the group of 40-year-olds trying to cramp his style.
Cody's "handler"/"partner" Ronica (Angie Harman) seems to have stepped out of a Playboy centerfold and comes with her own soundtrack.
Cody's mission to save his young girlfriend is sweet enough but one has to wonder what kind of video collection the film's four screenwriters have stashed in their basements that the relationship between adults and kids in the film is so uncomfortably hot-to-trot.

 Agent Cody Banks
Cody Banks is a sixteen-year old teenager who answers an magazine ad a few years back looking for a spy.
Cody, however, is a very shy guy and is soon getting caught in lots of troubles involving not only matters of the opposite sex but also school bullies, evil villains that come out of the set of The Mummy, and of course, his annoying parents and lil' brother.
Therefore, there is a scene of a holographic Natalie coming on to Cody that is rife with innuendos, just as it is with a scene where the FBI people try to teach Cody on how to be smooth with gals.

But Cody's training is put to the test when he's sent to pose as a prep school student and befriend fellow teen Natalie Connors (Hilary Duff) in order to gain access to her father, a scientist unknowingly developing a fleet of deadly nanobots for the evil organization ERIS.
Agent Cody Banks fails to be fun and fails to interest anyone that are fans of spy films.
If anything, Agent Cody Banks is a disgrace to every spy film ever made including the entire James Bond legacy which is light years ahead of Cody.

Cody's parents believe that he is having a blissful summer as a counselor at sleep-away camp.
This uninspired, maladroit entry should insure that 'Cody' won't be bankable for long, and that his days as a cinematic 'Agent' are numbered.

 TheMovieBoy Review - Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London (2004)
2003's "Agent Cody Banks" may have been disposable entertainment, but at least there was a certain level of enjoyment to be had in its confident tween spin of the "007" formula.
Likewise, its derivative premise is a veritable groundbreaker in comparison to "Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London," a junky, creatively bankrupt rush job of a sequel that has no connection to the original outside of the title character.
As "Agent Cody Banks" ended, teenage CIA agent Cody Banks (Frankie Muniz) and main squeeze Natalie (Hilary Duff) finally got to ride off into the sunset together after saving the world from a megalomaniac.

 Agent Cody Banks
The perky and curvy Natalie happens to be the daughter of the scientist that invented the harmful army of robots, or nanocytes as they’re referred to in the movie.
Granted that Agent Cody Banks tries to have some off-the-wall frolic with its incessant techno-treat of outrageous gadgetry and overwrought special effects designed to help heighten the otherwise manufactured antics of this silly-minded and overactive roller coaster ride.
Agent Cody Banks desperately needs to get assigned a new intriguing gig — maybe the skateboarding operative can go incognito and sneak onto the set of Spy Kids III to properly observe how whisking audiences of all ages away in pure escapism is really done!

 Agent Cody Banks
And with that bias towards children’s films, I went into “Agent Cody Banks.” Banks (Frankie Muniz) is a student in elementary school, trained one summer by the C.I.A. as a ruthless super spy.
Banks is given a treasure’s trove of high-tech gadgetry, a la James Bond.
But the appalling violence exhibited by these children, the scandalous, revealing outfits worn by Banks’ boss Ronica (Angie Harmon), which truly devalue this grown woman, and the gruesome deaths of the film’s baddies, where Nanobots are shown consuming their bodies from the inside out, is all just too much.

 USATODAY.com - Suave, sweet, silly 'Cody Banks'   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Agent Cody Banks has this fairly winning (if familiar) premise and features one of the more likable young actors around, Frankie Muniz of Malcolm in the Middle, who has an endearing blend of self-deprecation, innocence and smarts that works well here.
Cody's mission is to attend every class with Natalie — the daughter of a brilliant scientist — and befriend her in order to spy on her dad (Martin Donovan), the creator of a fleet of microscopic robots, which bad guys plan to use for nefarious purposes.
On his quest to find her, Cody careens down perilous slopes on a turbo-powered snowboard, pilots a racing snowmobile and flies solo in a helicopter-like device.

 Agent Cody Banks Review at Hollywood.com
When he was 12 years old, Cody Banks (Frankie Muniz) was recruited to attend a summer camp secretly run by the CIA.
In Cody Banks, Duff plays Natalie, a smart and clever teen who doesn't have to follow the pack to be popular.
Although Agent Cody Banks has some lively action, the storyline is a bit derivative and follows the basic spy formula of good versus evil, complete with bald, scarred villains seeking to destroy the world for no reason other than to be, well, evil.
