Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Alex Harries Although this might appeal to the under 10's, it is just embarrassing to watch this film of how cheesy it can be at points. I know its mean;t for children as I have said above, but this film just feels like it belongs no-where. When looking at the cast I thought this was going to be a bad film. Even looking at the title, i new it was just going to be awful. So the effects of this film are terrible, they look like some bloody cheap crap. Their are many films around 2003 with better Effects and use of CGI. Like a kid would be recruited by the CIA, and men with the words CIA Written on the back of their clothing. Its pathetic.1/10
Amityville15 A film about a junior secret agent on a mission to save the world and get the girl. From car, snowmobile and skateboard chases to battling nanobots and infiltrating the villain's heavily-guarded secret hide out.This film starred: Frankie Muniz, Hilary Duff & Angie Harmon.Agent Cody Banks, isn't that good of a movie, I liked this film when I was younger but now when I watch it, it is just boring. I don't really recommend it but I would to your kids because they will enjoy it. But I am afraid this spy adventure doesn't live up to what the press claimed it would like it has with so many films.**/***** Poor.
TheLittleSongbird This was a decent film, not as innovative as Spy Kids but an improvement over Stormbreaker. Of course it is very silly, and has a predictable plot and an uneven script. But due to the spirited performances from the entire cast, it is great fun. Frankie Muniz gives a sense of charm and cheekiness to his role, and while having less to do, Hilary Duff gives one of her better performances here. Angie Harmon also is fabulously sexy as Agent Miles, revealing outfit and all, and Ian Mcshane is great as Brinkman. While there are discrepancies in the script sometimes, there are inspired moments of physical comedy that delivers the laughs. Also the film goes along at a fast pace, and there are wonderful stunts and action sequences. Predictable, but great fun. 7/10 Bethany Cox
jimbiz77 I saw this on TV today and I have to say it is basically male-bashing disguised as a teenage James Bond rip-off.A sexist woman (Angie Harmon), who has about as much understanding and respect for boys as a typical feminist walks straight into a boys locker room and humiliates a few of the swooning males by smacking them in the groin with a towel just to project some lame super tough kick-ass woman act. I love the way the scene duplicates similar action by men in the girls locker room – oh, wait a second. My bad.She steals Cody (Frankie Muniz who looks set to be the female whipping boy (a man who is ashamed to be a man) player of negative male-stereotypes of the future judging by his performance in Malcom in the Middle) and she makes many annoying sarcastic authoritative comments and spars with him during training sessions. She cools down, but the whole matriarchal idea of her dominating all the other officials was irritating as well as her kicking the crap out the typically male dominated enemy forces. Cody himself is portrayed typically as some exaggerated and far less skilled with women version of James Bond and due to the millions of gigabytes of information passed down over millions of years, has clearly been brought up to view women as some superior life form mainly on the basis of his hormonal needs. The stereotypical "loser" who we all laugh at on TV sums up the friendlier side of teenage boys (who are in a very vulnerable state it should be noted, not that anyone cares). His female partner played by Hilary Duff was also repulsive and cruel and the mere fact she has to be a woman to be his partner just sums up the politically correct tripe that action movies have mutated into. Granted she was not shown to be as skillful as he (by a long shot in fact), but he still has to prove himself as is expected of men to be accepted by women (or for her to like him).Terrible film! I don't recommend it to anyone.Rated: PG in USA, 12A in UK due to action violence, some foul language and sexual bullying of minors.Duration: 1 hour, 42 minutes
