About this movie

To his family and friends, Cody Banks (Frankie Muniz) is a typical teen - he loves to skateboard, hates math, and feels like a complete idiot around girls. But Cody's got a secret - he's actually part of a secret teen CIA program. Cody's living every boy's dream life - he can drive like a stuntman, has an incredible arsenal of cool gadgets, and his agency mentor, Ronica Miles (Angie Harmon), is totally hot. 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. From runaway cars and high-speed snowboard chases to a spectacular final mountaintop showdown, Cody has to use everything he's learned to prove himself as an agent and stop ERIS... and maybe even get the girl.

Ratings and reviews

Hot diggety damn this movie is a thrill ride it's basically James Bond for kids really ambitious for it's time and deserves a lot of credit frankie muniz takes the screen by force in this one he does all the cool James Bond things too he has a gun and a watch that paralyzes people instantly he also gets piss drunk on martinis every 20 minutes of the films runtime, one time he even crashes into a sheet of plate glass and then he makes the Malcom in the middle noise I liked that callback real cool stuff. Muniz is in top form too i think the room went up a few degrees when he had screentime there was one scene where he winks seductively at the camera and says "agent Cody banks, but you can just call me daddy" and I thought I was going to have a surprise nine months later, probably my favorite scene is when Anthony andrersen and the other guy are in the van scoping out girls in middle school, I couldn't stop laughing they need to make and ACB3 where it's just them doing that

It's a fun, action flick. Pretty good to watch with older kids. May not be as fun for adults though. Also this is rated pg, not g. Has a decent blend of action and humor; the driving school scene was pretty funny. :)

I definitely remember this movie. I could never forger it. I didn't like the second movie but I absolutely love this one!
