The villain has made his way to Great Britain, so Banks is enrolled in an upscale private school in England, where he's forced to join the school band despite his lack of musical talent and finds himself working alongside Emily (Hannah Spearritt), a fellow teenage espionage agent. Keith David, Daniel Roebuck, and Cynthia Stevenson all return from the first film, while British filmmaker Kevin Allen takes over as director. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    I think this was exactly the same like the first part only with different story and villains. I liked Emily's (Hannah Spearritt) accent. I didn't find this that much entertaining. It wasn't even boring but somehow I felt something was lacking in it. I don't really recommend this ... read moreto watch as some might take it as a waste of time. And I kinda wished that Hillary Duff was here too and the story line matches with the first one. Then it would have been a better movie instead of "so-so".

    I like watching it, but there is no way, even by a long shot, that it is as good as the first!

    This sequel is awesome hilarious comedy-adventure even to the first film. Frankie Muniz is more impressive in his 007-like character, his partner Anthony Anderson is funny and Hannah Spearritt is hottest as a British spy.

    Strange to see one of the S Club'ers in an acting role. The movie itself is so-so.

Ben Kenigsberg, Village Voice

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

Richard Roeper

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

... tedious, forgettable and wholly unnecessary. Full Review

Dan Via, Washington Post

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

Susan Walker, Toronto Star

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. Full Review

Walter V. Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle

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

Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel

Even by kiddie-flick standards, this one, directed by Kevin Allen, is astonishingly lame. Full Review

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

Elizabeth Weitzman

Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News

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. Full Review

Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

As ingenious and lively as the original film. Full Review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

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