What Parents Need to Know

About Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London

Parents need to know that this movie includes some mild schoolyard language ("screwed up," "hell," "haul some ass," "sucks") and some potty humor. There is action violence and peril, including some punching and kicking and some explosions, and someone gets hit in the crotch, but no one really gets hurt. A character says that she is "pickled" from cold medicine. A character kisses a girl on the cheek. Some viewers may be uncomfortable when a bad guy tells his wife he is leaving her (she is not upset). A strength of the movie is the way that male and female characters of different races and cultures work together.

    I rate this title on for age 8 and give it 4.0

    Much better than the first one

    Apparently the writers felt the heat from parents about the gross death of the first bad guy and the politically incorrect insults. This new movie has more slapstick laughs and less grit, which is perfect for the young kids this was intended for. My kids enjoyed this one more and the bad guy exploding water bottles was easier to explain to them than the disintergrating bad guy from the first movie. Also the fact that the bad guys go to jail and the good guys get rewarded was nice.

    I rate this title on for age 2 and give it 3.0

    Not as good as the first, but still definietly worth watching. Same type of movie as the first, but different plot. Another good family movie.

    I rate this title on for age 2 and give it 4.0

    Well worth the money for 6+

    This movie is funny, action filled, and has a few funny moments. This movie isn't anything to worry about. There is no sexual content, but there is a crush between Cody and a girl.
