DVD Review

Junior James Bond Cody Banks (Frankie Muniz) returns to tackle more baddies in this teen espionage adventure.

Directed by Kevin Allen, this sequel throws up a far more professional Agent Banks, who's in London to track down his former mentor (Keith Allen) and the mind control device he stole. Along the way he's obliged to contend with his comedy sidekick partner (Anthony Anderson), a young orchestra he's meant to be playing in and a host of British stereotypes.

Packed full of the usual kind of gadgets, high jinks and fun we first encountered in the original Cody Banks movie, this sequel is bound to entertain fans of the pint-sized spy.

Though it has a dodgy understanding of London geography, the movie makes the most of the capital, while appearances from Paul Kaye and former S Club star Hannah Spearritt make the movie all the more Brit-friendly.

There's plenty of DVD extras to enjoy, too, including a video commentary, deleted and extended scenes, an interactive quiz, a behind the scenes photo gallery, the theatrical trailer and a hidden Easter Egg.
