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

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 1, 2020

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.

Full Review | Original Score: C | Oct 3, 2012

Only a kid could love it, but they do.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 9, 2010

Muniz and Duff seem to be two perfectly normal teenagers thrown in the midst of an elaborate fantasy, and they pull it off beautifully.

| Oct 18, 2008

Dreadful, witless and pointless.

| Original Score: 33/100 | Apr 7, 2007

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 30, 2006

A bland and condescending adaptation of an adult action film for a younger audience.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 15, 2006

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

| Feb 9, 2006

The movie is bouncy and colourful, and cheesy in a nice way, but it outstays its welcome in the last half hour.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 9, 2003

A formulaic Hollywood 'crowd-pleaser' that can be summed up in three words ('Teenage James Bond!').

This may be a case of mission unaccomplished, but the future looks brighter for Cody Banks than it does for Austin Powers.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 14, 2003

An enjoyable kid spy spoof with likeable characters.

| Original Score: B | Aug 8, 2003

...Cody Banks is a little older than the Spy Kids and, consequently, more into the girl thing. I'm not sure it improves the picture.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Jul 27, 2003

Se voc quer conhecer jovens espies que realmente meream sua ateno, as melhores opes ainda so os dois Pequenos Espies e o tenso Os Heris No Tm Idade.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 18, 2003

Muniz is an extremely likeable actor and the fact that Banks is meant to be pathologically shy around girls offers a handy point of identification for its target audience.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 16, 2003

It's as though for every good idea the movie has, someone from the writing committee jumped in and said, 'Yeah, but let's put a fart joke right after that.'

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 26, 2003

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

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 24, 2003

As such, it's not too bad. Sure there's an over-familiarity at this point in regards to secret agent teenagers, but Muniz is such an affable presence I can honestly say I was reasonably entertained much of the way.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 19, 2003

A childish version of the James Bond story about an awkward teen thrust into a mission to save the world.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 8, 2003
