Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Python Hyena Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London (2004): Dir: Keith Allen / Cast: Frankie Muniz, Anthony Anderson, Hannah Spearritt, Keith David, Cynthia Stevenson: Campy family fare with nothing to do with London other than its destination. It might have been fitting had the title bore some cultural reference but the film seems content with being simple. Teenager Cody Banks is sent to London to retrieve a disc that contains a mind control device. He is assisted by his handler, played by Anthony Anderson and sent undercover at the music academy even though he cannot play an instrument. Dull formula premise climaxing with kitty violence, as if these Conservative groups are suppose to applaud that. Director Keith Allen is backed by creative gadgets that assist Cody on his mission. Frankie Muniz is likable as Banks but he is merely repeating what he has done before with little new development. Likewise Anderson is a fine comic talent but he never rises above that into a broad three dimensional role. Hannah Spearritt plays a young British agent who deserves better than being a potential heart throb. Other roles are flat or downright stupid but that more or less what the plot boils down to. Pointless drivel becomes the typical sequel offering little more than an opportunity to cash in on previous success. Forget London. Its best destination will be any place where trash bins exist. Score: 2 / 10

sj-lynch Some movies are best not made into a sequel, but with Cody Banks 2, producers could have gone anywhere because number 1 had no loose ends to tie up. Hmm... so the whole idea of spies and secret agents may not appeal to some people, especially the fact that the spies are 16 year old kids. But for a secret agent movie it was quite cool. If you're looking for more action, go seem James Bond! This is a movie basically for 'kids',and I doubt it was ever meant to keep the adults really enthralled. I think they chose the right actors and actresses - yeah the weird Diaz and co are a little... well... weird, but they're the baddies for goodness sake!

g-bodyl Before I saw this movie on DVD, I had low expectations about this film because of the negative reviews about it. I must say that I liked it, a lot. This film is just as good as the first Banks minus Hilary Duff. This time around, Banks attends a CIA camp during the summer. One night, troops came to take the leader of the camp away. But, Banks thought it was just a drill. How wrong he turned out to be. The guy who escaped is a mind-control geek and he wants to use the devices to take over the world. Banks must head to London, team up with two more agents(a hot chick and an agent who stays in London), and stop the world from turning into mind-control freaks. The acting is great especially with all three agents played by Frankie Muniz, Anthony Anderson, and Hannah Spearitt. The plot was a simple one with a few comedic points added in. I recommend this movie to everybody. I rate this film a 9/10.

sara_is1 Just want to clarify something, it may seem petty to most, but it's not. Actress Leilah Isaac's character Sabeen remembers Waheed Murad. In the movie, Sabeen says: "And I'm Waheed Murad." This entices all to ask "what?" to which she replies, "Famous Indian actor." Waheed Murad never worked in an Indian film, but appeared in over a 100 Lollywood (Pakistani film industry) films from the 1960s to the '80s.Waheed Murad was one of Pakistan's most famous and loved actor's, so it was a bit of a surprise to hear him being referred to as Indian. Thank You.
