The same young teens who cozied up to the first picture will probably enjoy the sequel, but it won't win many new fans.

Cody's parents believe that he is having a blissful summer as a counselor at sleep-away camp. Little do they know that Kamp Woody is really a secret CIA training camp for kids, and that their sixteen-year old son has been sent to London to track down the camp's director, Diaz (Keith Allen), a demoted agent with a diabolical plot. Diaz is planning to join forces with British aristocrat Lord Duncan Kenworth (James Faulkner) and take control of the world using stolen mind control software implanted in the teeth of world leaders. Dispatched to London to foil Diaz's plan, Banks is provided with an array of cool gadgets, such as explosive Mentos (a mint candy) and a retainer that doubles as a tracking device, as well as a fully loaded black London cab that James Bond would love. Meanwhile, lovely Emily (Hannah Spearitt) from Scotland Yard's teen training division is on the case as well. Anthony Anderson plays Derek, an agent who is assigned to assist Banks during his London adventure. [More]

Reviews for Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London
It's harmless, albeit cliché riddled, fun for youngsters, and it doesn't make grown-ups wish they had two hours of their life back.
Malcolm loyalists are too sophisticated for this simple script, and fans of the spy genre have so many better options.
Clearly nobody involved with Agent Cody Banks 2 cared if it was any good at all. They just cared about cranking it out before the first movie's shelf life expired.
Even by kiddie-flick standards, this one, directed by Kevin Allen, is astonishingly lame.
A speedy, gadget-filled adventure with the same overall innocence that will attract parents and children.
This is one franchise that should be grounded before it takes off for any more international forays.
Although Muniz still has his Tiger Beat looks, his performance is worse than phoned in -- it's text messaged.
So, will your kids like this same old song with British scenery? Possibly, if they liked the last one, but a little less-so.
Does the unforgivable, condescending to its audience as if the kids wouldn't get it unless everything was laid out on a plate.
This is one of those movies that's full of color and almost non-stop action, both of which seem to be an attempt to cover up a woeful lack of plot.
entertaining, but not enough to make you want to root for the characters
Somebody must have used a mind-control device to convince people this was a movie worth making.
