[.ca] Agent Cody Banks

sort of a Junior James Bond/Mission impossible:
think of this as a junior James Bond/Mission Impossible.it's silly,but fun and action packed.it's also not at all plausible and it kinda loses steam when it gets serious and the ending is a bit maudlin.other than that though,it's a pretty good movie.there's nothing really offensive about it,bit there is a bit of sexuality implied.in my mind,Keith David is standout in his role as the director.it's not that big a role,but he sure has fun with it.Arnold Vosloo is also great as one of the evil henchman.if you can shut off you brain for 1 hour and 42 minutes,you might enjoy this movie,for what it is-mostly fluff,with some action and comedy.i give Agent Cody Banks a 4/5

ehh..?!:
Ok, this movie had some funny parts, but overall..this movie plain old SUCKS eggs, pan cakes, PLUS bacon..and I rather watch bacon sizzling in a pan for 2 hours than watch this movie. Man, this is no Spy Kids. Now the third Spy Kids wasn't that great, but the first two..now THAT was funny!! I loved those, but this is horrible. Why the heck did they make a sequal???? MY OPINION! YOU PEOPLE WHO LIKE IT I DON'T CARE THIS IS MY OPINION!

What was it called again?:
If you want a brainless 90 minutes in which you simply do not want to think then this is the kind of movie you might want to rent. Frankie Munitz, mooching off what fame he has left before he becomes a 'former child star' is the Junior James Bond, a kid in the CIA. Yes, it's stupid but it makes things happen for a while. Hilary Duff is his would-be girlfriend as he freezes up when he talks to girls (stop it, you're killing me). Her dad is some scientist working for a madman (played by some overtanned Brit) and he has to infiltrate blah blah blah... Yes it is bad, but it could be worse, it could be the sequel. A film so bad and so quickly hashed out that they forgot they already set up Arnold Vosloo as a returning baddie.

Really enjoyable - I was surprised:
Cody Banks is actually an enjoyable movie. It's a teenage James Bond, that fun and easy to watch. The bad parts: the bad special effects - they suck and take way from the fun atmosphere. The sexuality - I was thinking if kids see this movie it might be too sexual for them. It's rated PG and Harmon is dressed seductivly.

Quality flick:
I thoroughly enjoyed Agent Cody Banks, and I actually just bought this DVD. Sure, the movie is mostly just fluff and recycled bits from other movies, but it's entertaining enough that you can kind of ignore some of its faults. Frankie Muniz is great as the young CIA agent thrust into a situation that he doesn't want to be in, namely trying to get some information from Hilary Duff's character. The formulaic plot moves along briskly, and the action and comedy aren't top notch, but not bad. I tend to enjoy a lot of the live-action family movies, and this one didn't disappoint me at all. I'm looking forward to picking up the sequel when it comes out, too.
