I suppose all kids fantasize about being secret agents, I know I did when I was about three years old. However, Frankie Muniz was 18 when he made this movie, now that's what I call stunted development. Agent Cody banks is so full of shame you'll be embarrassed to watch this movie. I was obliged to when I was stuck over at my girlfriend's house and her nephew forced us to watch Agent Cody Banks. Fortunately, I had not eaten 10 hours prior to watching this movie, so there was no chance of me vomiting all over the place. Let's get this nice and sparkling clear, both Hilary Duff and Frankie Muniz are repulsive human beings, with not an ounce of musical talent or half a wit between them. I can only address their raucous popularity being due to the fact that they "are cute" and thought of "as cute" by children between the ages of 5 and 12. Outside of that range, I cannot understand how these two repulsive little Gollums could have any appeal. Hilary Duff basically does... nothing, she stands there and smiles through her millions of surgically applied collagen fibers hoping that they won't break and a line will form on her face. Frankie Muniz has the look of a kid who has a dog that drinks from a toilet. He is a very untalented individual, whose only saving grace is he has excellent hearing and can follow direction with the best of Hollywood child actors. Frankie can easily be obnoxious, which in all likelihood is an astonishing parallel to his own life. Frankie saves the world from idiots, which if you can call that an accomplishment makes for quite possibly the worst movie i've ever been forced to endure. But at least Angie Harmon is easy on the eyes. Don't expect to laugh, be entertained unless you are younger than Frankie Muniz or immature enough to think that a caffeine eyed teen can save the world because the bad guys are stupider than your typical 18 year old kid.
