What kid (or grown-up, for that matter) doesn't want to be an international superspy, James Bond style?
Fast cars, beautifull women and gadgets, gotta love those gadgets!
Frankie Muniz is Cody, the superspy-kid who apparently learned all the tricks at CIA summercamp. When
a scientist (without his knowledge) is working with criminals to make a new super-weapon, Cody has to 'get
close to' the scientist's daughter, Natalie (Hilary Duff). One problem though, as Frankie isn't ehm well ehm
too good ehm with the ehm ladies ehm.
Movie takes a couple of twists here and there (I won't go into them too deep), but finally Cody has to
save Natalie and her father from this big 'bad guy centre' somewhere in a mountain (these scenes look like
they come directly from an early Bond movie). It comes as no surprise Cody saves the day (and the girl).
'Agent Cody Banks' starts off real fun when Cody is a kinda shy kid, and at this time (the first hour
or so) gets a lot of help from funny extra's, like the guys from the surveillance van. Also a great sequence
when several grown-ups try to explain to him how to talk to girls. Muniz, in short, works as the small, young
James Bond, as we see he's a kid as well as a spy.
Too bad for the last part though, as 'Cody' no longer is a kid Bond but a real Bond, even kicking the
hell out of Arnold Vosloo (Mummy I & II). Uh-huh.
