Decent kids’ movie with some funny scenes and an ok story, certainly when considering it is targeted at kids. Watch it if you really like Leslie Nielsen, like I do, but don’t expect anything on the level of The Naked Gun or Police Squad etc because the jokes that are actually funny are few and far between in this one. The dog makes it worth a watch as well!

A kid's movie, but not even kids are this stupid.

1.8 average rating on Letterboxd? Ouch! I agree it's not good, but damn that's low. Leslie Nielsen is definitely the best part of the film, he plays the titular character very well. Jennifer Garner is also involved, but the support cast are all rather slack. The premise isn't, at least in my opinion, the worst I've ever seen but it's certainly pretty lacklustre and messy. I don't actually think 'Mr. Magoo' is 'that' awful though, except for the scene featuring brownface of course. Overall, it's a simple watch - one that doesn't take much attention. Probably worth watching only for Nielsen, and perhaps the dog.
