And the first one wasn't that great. There is something about pre-teen/kids movies these days that scream, "Make me cheesy, make me bad!!, and this one follows those words to the par. I fairly enjoyed the first one, I own it on dvd. I thought the idea was clever and the acting/plot/props were pretty good(with the exception of the Hilary Duff love scenes..ohhhhhh!) So, I also thought this one might be worth a watch too. I bought it, stuck it in the dvd player and this is what I thought. Pros: 1)This is a pretty family-oriented movie(with the exception of course that Cody tends to lie to his family quite a bit) 2)This is a great time-waster for little kids. The movie is not unbearable, so you can be in the house at the same time and not want to kill yourself, and it has enough action to keep the little ones busy. Yeah! Cons: 1) Cheesy. Ex: In the first movie, the bad guys were fairly realistic. This one, however, paints the bad guys as imcompetent idiots. 2)The story is not as strong here. Sequels need to have a stronger, more interesting tale to keep the audiences interested for one more round; this one fails miserably. Conclusion: I didn't enjoy this one, though the movie makers didn't intend it for my age. Little kids might stay interested, depending on what they like.Read full review
I purchased this DVD on the advice of a friend, (or her children, to be specific...) Fairly cute, a little violent (but I am 39, no children and often surprised at what is acceptable these days...) and overall enjoyable. For the kids. From the CIA training facility disguised as a summer camp to the tracking-device retainer (GOD knows what they paid that orthodontist) for teenaged him to the really good looking Scotland Yard teenaged her who saves his behind, it is definitely a pre-teen movie. Kept the kids busy and happy. For my purpose, a bingo. Would I watch it again? Even with the kids? Probably not.
Very fun for the family,
