A clever and lively action-adventure with a warm sense of humor and smart dialogue that allows for an affectionate and fleet-footed satire of the classic elements of the Bond franchise.
Of course, none of the film's geopolitical subterfuge will matter a whit to Agent Cody Banks's audience: adolescent boys in need of a surrogate hero. They will respond enthusiastically to this boisterous, well-carpentered kiddy-flick.

Agent Cody Banks is a fun kids depiction on spy/secret agent movies. Overall its a pretty fun and enjoyable movie, with a likeable cast and good performances.
Report
The real mission is product placement, of course: The movie seems to be set against the silvery backdrop of the Sharper Image catalog.
With her low voice, jumpsuits, cleavage and Segway, Miles (Harmon) is all satire all the time, and we love her for that.
The young stars have considerable natural chemistry and do their best to make the rehashed material approachable and entertaining while maintaining their kid-friendly images.
This movie is so wearying in its mediocrity, the inappropriate Ronica almost registers as dramatic relief.
Cody Banks would probably be appropriate for the 13-and-older crowd, but it’s far too dopey for teenage sophisticates.
It's miserable to watch if you're over 8 years old. Family movies can either be magical, or insufferable. Cody Banks is the latter.
