Philadelphia Inquirer
Muniz is quite winning as a plucky teen who is constantly being thrown into situations over his head. But the usually reliable Anthony Anderson e-mails in his performance as Cody's handler. - 50
Washington Post
Kids should be reasonably diverted for a couple of hours, but odds are they'll have forgotten the whole thing by the next morning. - 50
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Try as it might, this glossy action adventure isn't nearly as clever as the "Spy Kids" franchise. - 50
USA Today
Stretching what was a cute concept to the breaking point. - 42
Entertainment Weekly
At bottom, there's just too much spy in young Cody, and too little kid. The writers might've taken (another) page from the ''Spy Kids'' playbook and infused the action with youth relevance. - 40
Dallas Observer
Given the great premise and characters inherited from the first film, it's surprising that this sequel fails to match its predecessor's appeal. The humor is silly, broad, and surprisingly generic. - 40
L.A. Weekly
Muniz has a great face and body for physical comedy, but the numerous one-liners shoehorned into the script fall flat, unassisted by Anderson's numbing “street” ad-libs. - 38
Chicago Tribune
It's a movie, and certain liberties are bound to be taken, but having Derek stop a moped-driving Brit on the street by pulling out some sort of identification and yelling, "CIA, I need your moped!" is not the way.
