June 23, 2011I loved this in my younger days, it served as an appropriate "James Bond" for tweens. That's all it really has though.

August 5, 2007Cleaver and awesome lively action-adventure with Frankie Muniz as a junior CIA agent that gives me big laughs. Cool gadgetry, exciting special effects and the best skateboard chase ever captured on this film.

Agent Cody Banks provides the kind of high-quality entertainment one would expect in an adult action adventure that is expected to rake in major bucks. Full Review

Karen Heller, Philadelphia Inquirer
A listless, tween James Bond wannabe.

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Too violent for children and too recycled for adults.

Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle
A mundane, kid-empowerment fantasy distinguished only by Frankie Muniz's agreeable blend of haplessness and heroics. Full Review

Tom Long, Detroit News
Banks takes a nice premise and does absolutely nothing original with it, instead burdening a plot derived from too many James Bond movies with cheap special effects and flat jokes.

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
[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. Full Review

Rita Kempley, Washington Post
Sorely lacking in suspense, humor or originality, Agent Cody Banks aspires to the lowest rung of the peanut gallery.
