I acutually kinda enjoyed it. I never really watched the cartoon series so i wouldn't know really much of the character Mr.Magoo. I think i could have picked someone else as Mr.Magoo though. Leslie nielsen really didn't look like him from the pictures i saw of the cartoon. I think Mickey Rooney could have done a better job like one guy said. This must have came out around the time Airplane and Naked gun were popular or i'm sure they would have gotten someone else.

It's a remarkably bad movie.

I'm kind of amazed that people like it. Isn't there a point when your brain just goes, okay, that wasn't very funny? Because that's what I was thinking from the first scene up to the point at where I turned the movie off.

First half is kind of fun when he's just causing chaos going about his everyday business but it becomes a chore once the international espionage stuff kicks in.
