September 18, 2011Being a fan of the cartoon growing up, I was interested in seeing this. I saw it when it was released, and boy did it suck. This film really scraps the bottom of the barrel. The film has a paper thin plot, a pretty bad cast and above all, bad directing. The film is plainly stupid... read more

August 25, 2011You know, I never saw the "Inspector Gadget" cartoon. I am 14, so it was WAY before my time. Maybe it was amazing, maybe it was gruesomly unfunny, I have no idea.

August 22, 2011INSPECTOR GADGET really isn't that great of a film. Sure, it has Matthew Broderick, who we know to be hysterically funny from FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF, but this one sort of misses its mark as a silly kids' movie.

Although it's quick, mischievous and full of visual trickery, there's not much magic in Inspector Gadget. Full Review

Lawrence Van Gelder, New York Times
Watching Inspector Gadget is like watching a human Swiss Army knife for nearly an hour and a half. Full Review

Inspector Gadget demonstrates how a movie with little more on its mind than tickling the eyeballs of 7-year-olds can feature spiffy, jack-in-the-box special effects and still end up a dud. Full Review

James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Disney has struck once again, taking a passably entertaining cartoon and turning it into a motion picture so lifeless that it's almost unwatchable. Full Review

Desson Thomson, Washington Post
Exceptionally pleasant, and there's just enough humor to make it enjoyable for adults. Full Review

Inspector Gadget is a joyless and charmless disaster! Full Review

The movie feels like a demonstration reel for toys, action figures and future DisneyQuest installations.
