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.

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. Go to Full Review

The movie is an insult to the intelligence of the entire human race. Go to Full Review
Joe Leydon Variety 05/16/2008
By turns frenetic and flat-footed, Mr. Magoo is an uninspired live-action comedy. Go to Full Review

The movie lives from gag to gag, with the barest of plot... A perfect diversion for little ones. Go to Full Review

Erin M Aug 16 Leslie Nielsen was hilarious as always, and Kelly Lynch is gorgeous and fun to watch as an assassin. Great stunts and laughs!! The modern audience has lost their sense of humor, and this is better than what the haters are telling. The bulldog was great in this one too!

See more Michael W 10/23/2024 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. See more 10/19/2024 Let’s be honest , who else could play Mr magoo. Leslie Nielsen did the laugh of magoo perfectly. See more Robert 03/24/2024 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. See more Read all reviews
