Rotten
Agent Cody Banks has a TV movie feel to it. The special effects are kind of hokey, the jokes pretty lame and the stunts looked like they're performed by stunt performers.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Fresh
Agent Cody Banks provides the kind of high-quality entertainment one would expect in an adult action adventure that is expected to rake in major bucks.
Daphne Gordon, Toronto Star
Rotten
Those who aren't part of the 10- to 13-year-old target audience will probably also find it witless and derivative.
Ted Fry, Seattle Times
Fresh
An entertaining film for kids and young teens.
