    This screen version of the “cuddly cyborg” cartoon series is the most mindless Hollywood movie you're ever likely to find. Abandoning all plot after the first reel, it devotes its energies to beating us senseless with a succession of slapstick effects sequences. Matthew Broderick's performance as the computerised cop is so bland he barely exists, while the script is witless, ineptly structured and solely reliant on Gadget's extendable bits and bobs. After a few scenes, the novelty wears very thin.

    • Radio Times
  • Lavish, gimmick-laden extravaganza resembling a live-action cartoon, but, lacking a convincing narrative, the knockabout action soon palls.

    Hmmm !!!!

    Not one of the best films to watch on a Saturday Nite. Somewhere along I am sure there is a storyline. A little bit of a let down, was expecting a liitle more.

    Truly disappointing, even my seven year old i-will-watch-anything- son was not able to sit through this.
