Accordingly, the CIA director (KEITH DAVID) realizes they have to take action to prevent that from occurring. Yet, they need an undercover agent to get close to Connors' teenage daughter, Natalie (HILARY DUFF), to spy on the inventor. Enter 15-year-old Cody Banks (FRANKIE MUNIZ), a junior agent with the CIA Development Program, Seattle division.
Having been trained in covert summer camps, Cody's secret agent status is secret to his parents (CYNTHIA STEVENSON & DANIEL ROBUCK) and younger brother, Alex (CONNOR WIDDOWS). He has no idea, however, how he's going to accomplish his task - getting Natalie to fall for him - since he's incredibly awkward around girls. Even so, he sets out to do just that and with the aid of adult agent Ronica Miles (ANGIE HARMON), Cody tries to win the girl, catch the villain and save the world.
Violence includes one death (a character dissolves away after swallowing something lethal), various scenes of characters fighting or hitting others with fists or other objects and explosions that destroy a villain's lair. While played for action and adventure rather than graphic realism, some of those scenes and some chase moments might be intense or suspenseful to some younger viewers.
Various characters have varying degrees of bad attitudes, while some crude humor and imitative behavior is also present.
