Cody's living every boy's dream life--he can drive like a stunt man, has an incredible arsenal of cool gadgets, and his agency mentor, Ronica Miles, is totally hot.

User Reviews

dear god

I don't normally review films. But maybe its the beautiful weather or something cause this is the third film I've reviewed today. And Good heavens was this silly.

Ok ok.. I know this movie is for kids. I was aware of that when I bought my girlfriend and I tickets to see it. She wanted to go, and despite my fears of throwing money out the window so to speak, I agreed. And, with no suprise, I didn't enjoy myself.

This film is for the young and perhaps the young at heart. I guess the one possitive thing about this film I can say is that I infact learned alot about myself after leaving the theater..
