Besides the issues that David mentioned, I think code reviews are best for
the newer programmers. You can then show them "a better way" to do things
and teach them in the process.

I wouldn't actually expect an IT manager to do a code review ... code
reviews require technical expertise ... and, while some managers do have
the expertise, a significant number don't.  But I wouldn't really expect
a manager to be as current on technical matters as a programmer.

In our shop, small as it is, we have peers do the code reviews.

Problem is ... how much can you catch in a code review?  Adherence to
standards: yes, documentation: yes, change control policies followed:
Yes (well Duh!).  But that's pretty much it.  You can't catch logic
errors with a code review, unless they are blatant.
