Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
This latest bigscreen retrofitting of a vintage TV series (1968-73) feels like the most shameless effort yet in the renewed exploitation of the youth market.

rotten:
A flawed fraud, a youth movie so disjointed, witless and condescending that it's painful to watch.

rotten:
Plays like a 90-minute version of the old television show. That's not necessarily bad.

fresh:
A great-looking picture that zips along with grace, light on its feet but possessed of just enough gravity to allow us to take its people rather than its old TV series premise seriously.

rotten:
Is it possible to try too hard without making any effort whatsoever? Because that seems to be the one slim accomplishment of The Mod Squad.
