Plot Summary
A teen learns that all the gadgets in the world can't help him overcome his awkwardness around the opposite sex in this big-budget family entertainment. In Agent Cody Banks, Malcolm in the Middle star Frankie Muniz plays a young man plucked from suburban obscurity to be trained as a CIA super-agent. His mission? Get friendly with his classmate Natalie (played by another teen TV star, Lizzie McGuire's Hilary Duff) so that he can uncover her father's diabolical scheme to create indestructible robots. To compound his problems, Cody also has to deal with the same stresses as any adolescent: nagging parents, insufferable classwork, and a fragile sense of self-esteem. Agent Cody Banks was produced by MGM, not coincidentally the studio responsible for another popular spy franchise, the venerable James Bond series.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: An entertaining film for kids and young teens.
Rotten: [Muniz] keeps Cody Banks watchable on energy alone but his scenes with the pallid, uncharismatic Duff are as dull as watching two actual pubescents meet at the mall.
Rotten: Illogical, thrown-together claptrap.
Rotten: Sorely lacking in suspense, humor or originality, Agent Cody Banks aspires to the lowest rung of the peanut gallery.
Customer Reviews
Greatt Movie
The first time I saw this movie I loved it. Back then Hilary Duff was my favorite...so that was probably the reason I went to go see it. But today, I'll still sit at home, and watch this. It's filled with action, romance, and everything else that makes a good movie. =]
