Agent Cody Banks has made his way to London and I say, Keep him there, on the condition that we get no more of these horrible films.
Destination London is just about the most tedious and non-entertaining film I have seen in a long time. I would just assume watch the popcorn pop in the lobby than pretend to enjoy what is going on in this film.
First of all, who had the brilliant idea of casting Anthony Anderson in this movie? Anderson ruined the first Barbershop film for me and his inclusion in this film is either a cry for help or the waving of the white flag.
In the latest version of Agent Cody Banks Frankie Muniz plays the title role and when a rogue CIA agent steals a top-secret mind controlling device he is sent to London in an attempt to catch the crook and reclaim the device, which is all well and good, but the movie fails so many times and all in the same area… it forgets that Cody Banks is a kid!
This is a film for young moviegoers and there is just far too much spy work going on that it never really allows the kid in Cody to come out, which would have helped add a little bit of comedy and life into such a boring “action” flick.
I know Anthony Anderson is supposed to be the funny one here, but sorry to break it to you Anthony – “You aren’t funny!” It takes a little more than seeing the big lug drive around on a tiny moped to tickle my funny bone and I think any audience, young or old, will feel the same way.
The entire production seemed like it was rushed to get to the screen in an attempt to create a marketable franchise and instead of putting any emotion or caring into the script it was left lifeless and drab, and I don’t expect Cody Banks will have a third attempt at saving the world now that this Cody has gone bankrupt.
