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]

There’s less charm here than in the original, less self deprecating humour, and more attempts at over-the-top humour that just don’t work.

This is as joyless a spy caper as one could devise.

Lazy, smug and completely self-satisfied, this half-hearted sequel to Agent Cody Banks swaps Sean Connery suavity for Roger Moore stupidity.

No matter how adorable you think Muniz is, it's becoming increasingly hard to buy him as a socially inept teenager/spy.

London’s calling for CIA Agent Cody Banks (Frankie Muniz), but I wish it were his mom telling him to go to his room.

As is, for the preteen crowd, this sequel will have enough movement and comedy to satisfy. But there's probably too little of either to justify a Cody 3.

Apart from funny supporting work by the inventor of the Mind Control and the guy in the 'Q' role, the movie is pretty routine.

Malcolm loyalists are too sophisticated for this simple script, and fans of the spy genre have so many better options.

Vapid, banal, humourless, witless; a cynical cash-grab.

That the perpetually leering thugs look like child pornographers is almost beside the point; more problematic is the rampant racism.

So, will your kids like this same old song with British scenery? Possibly, if they liked the last one, but a little less-so.

When the high point of your movie involves a Queen Elizabeth lookalike getting down to a Euro-pop version of Edwin Starr's 'War,' something has gone disastrously wrong.

This supposed action-comedy is so staggeringly unfunny, unoriginal and uninspired that its title should have been Agent Cody Banks 2: Contractually Obligated Sequel.

Director Kevin Allen offers a lot more gadgets in Cody 2, but surprisingly little in the way of memorable action.

A junky, creatively bankrupt rush job of a sequel that has no connection to the original outside of the title character.
