Agent Cody Banks 2 is, with no doubt, the most useless, redundant and unasked-for sequel since WWII. No one wanted a sequel and the only reason it exists is to cash in on the modest, modest, incredibly modest 'success' of the original. The plan didn't work as this quite deservedly bombed horribly.
Even in the 2-second gap between this and the first Frankie Munitz hasn't aged well. And he's quite aggravating. Hilary Duff wisely bailed out and her character is replaced by some untalented non-celeb former pop-babe. Another sign of desperation is the casting of Anthony Anderson (who SERIOUSLY doesn't belong in this), a talented funnyman who is increasingly finding himself the ONLY funny thing and a series of bad movies.
Plus it's one of those typically xenophobic movies under the wild belief that everyone in Britain rides around on red buses, has tea with the queen every night and is either very posh or cockney. I'm sorry, but I have been on the London Eye and I KNOW the recorded female voice does not sound like that. They changed in the movie to sound 'posher'.
Unbelievable!
This is one 'franchise' that has died a quick, but painful death.
