Kevin Thomas

As ingenious and lively as the original film. Read full review

Claudia Puig

Stretching what was a cute concept to the breaking point. Read full review

David Hiltbrand

Muniz is quite winning as a plucky teen who is constantly being thrown into situations over his head. But the usually reliable Anthony Anderson e-mails in his performance as Cody's handler. Read full review

Dallas Observer Jean Oppenheimer

Given the great premise and characters inherited from the first film, it's surprising that this sequel fails to match its predecessor's appeal. The humor is silly, broad, and surprisingly generic. Read full review

Michael Rechtshaffen

In terms of inspiration or even the slightest shred of ingenuity, Banks ranks more like an 000 than an 007. Read full review

Scott Tobias

Opens with its snazziest effects sequences and gets cheaper from there, as if studio executives were constantly scaling back the budget as the filmmakers went along. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

Should have been stopped at customs -- as family entertainment, it constitutes child abuse. Read full review

If you liked the original, you'll probably like this one, yada yada yada. A few brief observations: the flood of product placements (excessive even for a 2004 major studio film!) is surpassed only by a surfeit of continuity flubs and self-contradictions. One example: the exploding If you liked the original, you'll probably like this one, yada yada yada. A few brief observations: the flood of product placements (excessive even for a 2004 major studio film!) is surpassed only by a surfeit of continuity flubs and self-contradictions. One example: the exploding Mentos (see what I mean about product placement?) that blow up when chewed; in one sequence, one of the good guys attempts to dilute their effect--BY CUTTING THEM UP??? I loved the little actress who played the Indian music student, and the wonderful, tremendously underrated comic actress Cynthia Stevenson, whose role as Cody's clueless mom is limited here to the first and last few minutes of the movie, illustrates once again that old saying about silk purses and sow's ears.… Expand

Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London is a cheap and boring sequel to the original movie that I actually somewhat enjoyed. Chocolate surprise! The only thing I like about this movie.

Predictable and juts like the first one, Cody Banks numero dos is even worst than the original (no surprise).What it lacks is a steady premise, and it seems like there is nary one to be found. Just because it's new doesn't mean its good.
