Agent Cody Banks

Agent Cody Banks (2003) is a family action-comedy you can watch online on iFILM. A shy fifteen-year-old quietly moonlights for the CIA and lands an assignment no grown-up spy could ever pull off.

Cody trained in secret at what looked like an ordinary summer camp, and he can handle just about anything, from snowboard chases to hand-to-hand fights. The one thing that still leaves him speechless is talking to girls. Naturally, his first real mission hinges on exactly that: get close to a classmate named Natalie so the agency can reach her scientist father, who has built combat nanobots that a criminal outfit is desperate to steal. Saving the world, passing math class and keeping the whole thing from his parents all land on Cody at once.

Frankie Muniz plays Cody, Hilary Duff plays Natalie, with Ian McShane and Arnold Vosloo in the mix and Harald Zwart directing. Think James Bond scaled down to high school: gadgets, car chases and teenage awkwardness rolled together. It is light, undemanding stuff, and that is exactly what makes it an easy family-night pick.
