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]

Really pretty hateful, shooting for the bulk of its laughs at the expense of those wacky foreign kids and the endlessly humiliated Anthony Anderson.

Kids should be reasonably diverted for a couple of hours, but odds are they'll have forgotten the whole thing by the next morning.

Here's just about everything a 6-year-old spy would hope to find in a kiddie-espionage flick, with just a twinge of romance, but nothing serious to interrupt Cody's undoubtedly continuing career.

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

Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London should have been stopped at customs -- as family entertainment, it constitutes child abuse.

With lots of cool gadgets, plenty of silliness and a clever concept guaranteed to appeal to preteens, this should be an unflagging, high-octane romp.

After 90 minutes of diligently searching the premises of ACB2, no evidence of mass entertainment can be found.

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

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

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

The subversive humor that occasionally brightened Agent Cody Banks is absent from this sophomore effort.

Muniz's considerable charm keeps things moving along briskly, and there's more than enough here to keep pic's target audience engaged.

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.

A nonsuspenseful and painfully unfunny series of comic stunts that try to have sport with the image of the garrulous American abroad.
