Profile of Inspector Gadget

The mood of Inspector Gadget is feel good, humorous, and offbeat. The plot centers around superhuman powers, a goofy hero, and a police detective. It features campy humor. Inspector Gadget is a comedy, family, and action movie. In approach, it is not serious and fantastical. The pacing is fast. Inspector Gadget happens in the 1990s. It is based on a TV series and a remake. It is especially suggested for kids, a family outing, and teens.

Summary of Inspector Gadget

Based on the popular 1980s cartoon series of the same name. Matthew Broderick plays the bumbling title character who, after being blown up in his car by the evil Dr. Claw, must become a guinea pig for an experimental program designed to create bionic police officers in order to survive. There he is endowed with 14,000 helpful gadgets by a beautiful scientist, such as a hand that doubles as a phone, giant spring-mounted legs, and a helicopter that pops out of his fedora. Gadget vows revenge on the evil Dr. Claw, but is more Inspector Closeau to really do much damage, so his daighter Penny and her trusty mutt make sure the good inspector gets a helping hand when he needs it. Fun for the whole family. Includes the bonus video "I'll Be Your Everything" by Youngstown.

San Francisco Chronicle

While it is a spectacle of animatronics, digital graphics and other special effects, the actors are never overwhelmed by them as personalities. Full Review
