Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

This morning, I found myself unexpectedly remembering that this movie existed. I found myself thinking, "Oh yeah, there was a Mr. Magoo movie, wasn't there?" This is more surprising because I remember following the controversy surrounding this movie (advocacy group for the visually impaired said that this movie was demeaning). I even went to see this movie on the day it opened, because I am a fan of both Mr. Magoo, and Mr. Nielson, and thought he would be an excellent choice to play Mr. Magoo. I even remember the opening animated credits, because I thought that they were pretty amusing.After that, though, its all a complete blank. I think its a pretty sad statement about any movie that it is so lame, so bland, and so utterly without merit that you can't remember ANYTHING from it. I understand that Leslie Nielson isn't always known for appearing in first class comedies, but I saw him in "Spy Hard," in "Scary Movie 4," and "Police Squad 3" and none of these were great movies, but I came away at least remembering *something*. Mr. Magoo, though, is a complete blank.I find myself wondering now if all the controversy surrounding the film wasn't actually generated by the studio that produced it, in the hopes of generating at least some small amount of interest in an otherwise totally worthless movie.

Mr. Magoo is at times silly, and at others, very silly. But always funny.I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a late-night movie. But if your looking for a substantial movie with anything serious about it, forget it! This is a movie for when you're staying up way too late and need some good laughs, or any time you need some good laughs for that matter!Larry Nielson is in high form, with marvelous comedy from the supporting cast, a winner in my opinion: don't hesitate to take this one home with you!

I left the theater, and I was only 10 years old. That's how bad it sucked. The plot was horrid and the acting was worse. Leslie Nielson should be ashamed of himself and so should the person who made this movie. I was only 10 years old when I went to see this catastrophe with a friend and even at that young, innocent age I did not laugh once at the movie. We (me and my friend) still laugh about how bad the movie was. We ended up going into the 'R' movie my parents were in. Bottom line -- this flick was fricking bad. Mr. Magoo -- more like Mr. Ma-who? This movie could have scarred me for life had I watched the popular cartoon on television as a child but luckily I had never seen it, so i was spared the agony but I will never get back those precious minutes of my life that I wasted.

Now, I don't think this is a good movie. There are more bad parts in this movie than good, most definitely. I just don't understand why everybody is giving this movie a 1. I laughed once in a while. (Nothing big, mind you, just short giggles.) I did not expect anything good out of this movie at all, so I didn't walk out of the theater that disappointed. I guess if I can love Escanaba in da Moonlight, I can tolerate Mr. Magoo. The two movies have similar types of humor, it's just that, well, Leslie Nielsen was not born to be in movies. It seems that goes for most of the other people in this movie's cast (except Malcolm McDowell and, perhaps, Jennifer Garner. 5/10
