AGENT CODY BANKS: DESTINATION LONDON (Theatrical Release USA 2004)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì

Agent Cody Banks: Destination London greatly improves on its entertainment value over the first film in the series. Frankie Muniz adapts deeper into the character of the film. It seems the movie could launch a James Bond-type storyline for the younger set. Watch for a very charismatic actor, Anthony Anderson in this film. This movie upgrades its spy orientation and gadgetry which greatly improves the fun of watching. It’s a good child/adult share film.

Yes. This movie, surprisingly, becomes a good watch. Look for the creativity in adding summer camp scenes to the storyline. They work very well in this film.
