hyped garbage

Absolutely the worst movie.

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

The movie is not THE BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME, but still this isn't a 3.9 score, seriously now. Leslie Nielsen ( God rest his soul ) was an amazing actor, every single movie that he played, that movie was doomed to be good. Probably here are some guys that don't taste this kind of comedy, they are way to mature and intelligent to laugh at dumb jokes and scenes, but Mr. Magoo (the movie) was funny as hell. You guys should loosen up a little, pull that stick from your ass and learn how to feel good and enjoy a great movie. If in comedies they will make academic jokes no one will laugh because no one will understand them. We need lame as jokes and as stupid and funny as possible. :DMy vote is 8 / 10 ... loved the movie, and Leslie Nielsen, my favourite comedy actor. <3

Mr.Magoo is a nearsighted millionaire, who refuses to wear glasses and therefore always gets into trouble. During a museum robbery he accidentally gets a priceless gem, and begins to pave the way for the criminals whose idea was to steal the gem. But two federal agents Stupak and Anders lead the manhunt for Mr.Magoo himself.....What else would you expect from a film with Leslie Nielsen based on a cartoon?Every film he made after 1988 he played the same character, and here it's just Frank Drebin for kids.It's fun stuff though, Nielsen getting into scrapes that would usually cause any other human being to perish, and then the bad guys following his every footsteps, and ending up in water, cake on their face, being chased by a primate.Continue this for ninety minutes, add Malcom Macdowell as the villain, and you have a comedy that was rife in the late nineties.Dreck, but utterly watchable for all the wrong reasons...

I left the theater, and I was only 10 years old. That's how bad it sucked. The plot was horrid and the acting was worse. Leslie Nielson should be ashamed of himself and so should the person who made this movie. I was only 10 years old when I went to see this catastrophe with a friend and even at that young, innocent age I did not laugh once at the movie. We (me and my friend) still laugh about how bad the movie was. We ended up going into the 'R' movie my parents were in. Bottom line -- this flick was fricking bad. Mr. Magoo -- more like Mr. Ma-who? This movie could have scarred me for life had I watched the popular cartoon on television as a child but luckily I had never seen it, so i was spared the agony but I will never get back those precious minutes of my life that I wasted.

Mr. Magoo (1997) Leslie Nielsen, Kelly Lynch, Matt Keeslar, Nick Chinlund, Stephen Tobolowsky, Ernie Hudson, Jennifer Garner, Malcolm McDowell, D: Stanley Tong. Disney's hopelessly unfunny live-action feature based on the ‘60s cartoon. For what he's given, Leslie Nielsen (of THE NAKED GUN movies, who always tries) is ideally cast as the lovably nearsighted, clueless tycoon caught in a needlessly complicated and dragged-out plot concerning Magoo's accidental robbery of a precious ruby and the ruthless jewel thieves that are after it. With a lot of slapstick pratfalls and lame vision-impaired situations thrown in, the movie's biggest problem is that there's nothing funny-and hammers every joke flat. The animated opening and closing moments are the best because they feature the voice of the former Mr. Magoo, Jim Backus. Running Time: 85 minutes and rated PG for mild cartoon violence. * ½
