Just plain fun.

Frankie Muniz really does look 16 at almost-19! He and Anthony Anderson, who plays his CIA "handler" in this sequel, were obviously having fun making this campy tongue-in-cheek secret agent "thriller." This is a very simple movie -- there are... Full review

I will admit, I was a fan of the first film. While I didn't think it was one of the greatest films created, I did think that it had quite a bit of potential coupled with ample originality. It was... Full review
A lame and weak sequel that's strictly for kids

Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London is a weak sequel and its strictly for kids. Cody Banks, the teen secret agent played by Frankie Muniz, returns with an undercover mission in London, posing as a boarding school student trying to... Full review
This an ersatz version of "Spy Kids"

Fundamentally this a version of "Spy Kids". Except with out the charm and with all the fun removed. Frankie Muniz is not so much acting here as mugging for the camera - which is unfortunate because we need him to... Full review

Muniz has lost his touch.

Ever since Muniz started to do these Agent Cody Banks movies I truly believe he has offically lost the acting bug. The movie was dull, not funny and boy did it make me tired. In my opinion I personally think... Full review

Agent Cody Banks 2 is a decent sequel to the original. It is watchable with a few scattered laughs. However, the film way overstays its welcome. Some scenes go on without any point to them whatsoever. The climax at Buckingham... Full review
Crappy sequel an embarrassment even to Frankie Muniz himself

Frank Muniz comes back as Cody Banks in this lackluster sequel in which he comes out of kids spy school to track down a hispanic Dictator named Diaz who used to be in the Cia.Lame jokes are abound in this... Full review

I was lucky to get a free preview ticket for this ahead of its official U.K. release. Lucky in that I didn't have to pay to see this film. Because it sucks big time. We are talking hungry anteaters here,... Full review

This is a fairly weak follow-up to the original. It lacks the newness and novelty found in first movies, which is to say it offered nothing really new or exciting.In his movie we already know who he is and what... Full review

This movie deserves no stars. Here it seems as if the studio has gone out of its' way to ensure this movie loses money. It is oh too funny to see Anthony Anderson riding a small moped as the villain aims and constantly misses a target that size. ... Full Review

Perhaps the routine adventures would be more thrilling if Cody wasn't such a joyless smart-arse; none of the dangers he confronts ever manage to wipe off his you-can't-faze-me smirk. Only the plaintive London accent of junior pop star Hannah Spearitt, as Cody's tomboy sparring partner, strikes an authentic note. ... Full Review

That's where Cody meets Emily (Spearritt), who blows a mean piccolo but keeps her real talents under wraps. Even the usually likable Muniz is unimpressive. ... Full Review

The first "Agent Cody Banks" was a rather listless project....And unimaginative writing, prosaic direction, and mediocre acting don't make it any better.....The plot and characters are simplistic....Most of the fun of the movie is supposedly handled by the supporting players.....Naturally, in this film as in every other lazily contrived kids' flick, adults are either evil and wicked or complete idiots..... ...
