Synopsis: To his family and friends, Cody Banks (Frankie Muniz) is a typical teen - he loves to skateboard, hates math, and feels like a complete idiot around girls. But Cody's got a secret - he's actually... To his family and friends, Cody Banks (Frankie Muniz) is a typical teen - he loves to skateboard, hates math, and feels like a complete idiot around girls. But Cody's got a secret - he's actually part of a secret teen CIA program.

Cody's living every boy's dream life - he can drive like a stuntman, has an incredible arsenal of cool gadgets, and his agency mentor, Ronica Miles (Angie Harmon), is totally hot. But Cody's training is put to the test when he's sent to pose as a prep school student and befriend fellow teen Natalie Connors (Hilary Duff) in order to gain access to her father, a scientist unknowingly developing a fleet of deadly nanobots for the evil organization ERIS. From runaway cars and high-speed snowboard chases to a spectacular final mountaintop showdown, Cody has to use everything he's learned to prove himself as an agent and stop ERIS... and maybe even get the girl.

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

Has a surprisingly grown-up feel to it ... which makes it more entertaining for everyone watching.

Some special effects toward the end may scare the little ones, but for the most part, this is charmingly innocent, good fun.

Had the movie chosen to go the campy route, Muniz probably would have shined, using his face and vacant delivery to their fullest potential. But most of the time, everything is played ridiculously straight.

When [Muniz's] Cody gets close to a girl, there is an eager terror on his face and in his body language that hits the adolescence angst nail squarely on the head.

The concoction doesn't taste like anything special, but a has refreshing hint of sweetness.

This sure isn't a movie for kids. Director Harald Zwart is obsessed with Angie Harmon's cleavage. It's as if he couldn't decide whether to rip off James Bond or "The Graduate."
