Mr. Magoo

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Leslie Nielsen's affability can't save this dunderheaded update of Mr. Magoo, which delivers a stream of slapstick gags so lame that audiences will feel like they've stepped on a rake.

Achy Obejas Chicago Tribune This Magoo can't seem to figure out if it's for kids or adults. The plot's too simple for adults, with hardly an inside joke or double entendre, thrown in for good measure, yet it may be too confusing for younger kids. Rated: 1/4 Mar 14, 2024 Full Review Mike Clark USA Today The movie is an insult to the intelligence of the entire human race. Rated: 1/4 Jan 9, 2018 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: F Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Dan DiNicola The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) The movie lives from gag to gag, with the barest of plot... A perfect diversion for little ones. Rated: B- Jan 19, 2023 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Short-sighted, asinine and unbearable. Rated: D Apr 7, 2020 Full Review Brian Costello Common Sense Media Silly live-action '90s remake of cartoon; pratfalls abound. Rated: 3/5 Jan 10, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

Michael W Suspension of disbelief. What a movie should hopefully do for you. Not. This. One. The premise that Mr Magoo is mostly blind, in the way it is portayed here is not believable..there are scenes where he sees fine among the clunkily staged scenes where he is not seeing what is right in front of him. Right from the gate, the movie has no credibility. There are also a number of moments this movie jumps the shark.. but when Mr Magoo goes off a waterfall and the raft he is on unbelievably slows the fall by becoming like a parachute... and he is wearing a bride dress......ahhhh, nope. Nothing in this is believable, so the whole thing is a waste of space. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/23/24 Full Review Audience Member Let’s be honest , who else could play Mr magoo. Leslie Nielsen did the laugh of magoo perfectly. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/19/24 Full Review Robert I love Leslie Nielsen and was excited when I discovered a movie of his I had not yet seen. This excitement was not only short lived, but replaced with regret that I had found said movie. This film had zero redeeming qualities. Honestly, I was envious of Mr. Magoo's blindness, at least he won't ever have to watch this bomb. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/24/24 Full Review Josh G It tries to makes us care about anything that isn't Leslie nelson, but in reality the funny part are all him. Every scene he steals, While the FBI, the CIA and his nephew drag. I have nostalgia for this one saw it growing up many times from the video rental store. I like it for one reason some scenes are funny does it hold up, not really. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/20/22 Full Review Audience Member All ages; LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Funny and original. I miss Leslie Nielsen (who plays Mr. Magoo better). Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Inaki B I guess for kids it's amazing but if you have more that 6 years for sure you are not going to enjoy this movie.
