Agent Cody Banks is a great movie, one that I just happened to find and is now one of my all time favorites. It reminded me of a spy book I read when I was a kid which made me fascinated with the idea of becoming an undercover agent. Magnificent!
Agent Cody Banks is amusing, definately a kid movie! Its about a couple of grade school kids taking over the derring-do and gadgetry of their kidnapped parents to rescue them. Staring Frankie Muniz, the shy kid of Malcolm in the Middle, and Hilary Duff, who plays Lizzie McGuire on the Disney Channel show of the same name.
Cody, is a 15-year-old sleeper agent for the C.I.A., having been trained in the latest spy and self-defense techniques at a training base disguised as an innocent summer camp.
When an eccentric scientist played by Martin Donovan, invents a nanotech bug capable of devouring the guidance system of American satellites, Cody is drawn out of high school to ''get close'' to the Donovan character's teenage daughter, Natalie (Ms. Duff). As skilled as he may be in martial arts, Cody still hasn't learned how to talk to girls, a skill he acquires in a crash course conducted by his sexy C.I.A. handler, played by Angie Harmon.
