Inspector Gadget (1999)
I’ll admit to watching the early 1980s’ Inspector Gadget cartoon, and probably far too late in life.
Looks like now I’m waaaaay too old for this kind of thing, but judging by the mute stares of the many children in our advance screening audience, maybe they are too.
Inspector Gadget the live-action version starring Matthew Broderick in a thankless slapstick role tries so hard to be funny, aiming alternately at kids and their parents, that it misses on all counts. In one scene, Gadget will grab some guy’s crotch until he squeals. In the next, the evil Dr. Claw (Everett) will pontificate on how his moniker is “One word, like Madonna.” Do kids get the subtlety of the joke, considering Everett is openly gay? Do adults think it’s funny?
Nix on both counts, and the super-streamlined plot line (John Brown is injured and becomes superhuman crime-fighting machine) is stolen completely from RoboCop. How’s that for your average kiddie movie?
