Teenage spy Cody Banks (Frankie Muniz) returns for another mission, and this time around he has a new partner, the humorous and amiable Derek Bowman (Anthony Anderson). Cody and Derek must travel to England to foil the plot of Victor Diaz (Keith Allen), a villainous operative who aims to wreak havoc with experimental mind-control technology. Joining Cody and Derek is pretty British schoolgirl Emily Sommers (Hannah Spearritt), who turns out to be a fellow undercover spy.

Critics Consensus

Young kids may find this London adventure fun, but older kids may find it too simplistic.

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

This is a funny & action packed movie. You can tell nobody that reviewed this was a kid when they saw it. This franchise is remembered fondly by millenials. I think the 2nd was way better than the first.

Agent Cody Banks 2 does some things better than its predecessor (I do think the titular character plays better off of Anthony Anderson's character than the no-nonsense Angie Harmon character from the previous film) and it does have its share of good scenes (mainly when the summer orchestra students start singing Franklin Starr's War, even if they reminded me that I would rather be watching the Rush Hour trilogy instead) but its cringey humour, lighter tone, eyeroll-inducing product placement and more poorly-edited action sequences make Destination London just another lame spy film released to cash in on Spy Kids (I know, I know, as opposed to the first film).

A masterpiece of social and economic criticism deeply digging into the capitalist ideals that so parade around the entire studio mindset that has produced this, beautiful film. Like said in Hail Caesar, writers try and get socialist content into films, this is a example of a writer doing just that. The acting and directing is terrible and not fitting in with the pure underlying themes of Marxism woven so perfectly into the film. A shame a less mainstream studio didn't produce it.
