Government agents and a beautiful thief (Kelly Lynch) pursue a myopic millionaire (Leslie Nielsen) who unknowingly possesses a valuable gem.

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.

1/4

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.

The movie is an insult to the intelligence of the entire human race.

By turns frenetic and flat-footed, Mr. Magoo is an uninspired live-action comedy.

B-

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

Silly live-action '90s remake of cartoon; pratfalls abound.

I think Leslie Nielsen did a decent job as Mr. Magoo but the movie as a whole just becomes dull at some point. This is one that you can skip, there are better Disney movies out there and definitely, better comedies! Go watch The Naked Gun instead! I rate it 2/5 OR 4/10

It gets a bad rap for no good reason. Mr. Magoo is a silly good time. Leslie Nielsen is cast well as the title character. It's funny and entertaining. (First viewing - Late childhood)
