    Worth watching, good friday night film for a treat when need entertaining.
  • March 24, 2007
    It's not that it's SO bad, it's that the story is as unoriginal as a recipe for chocolate cake. Run - of - the - mill stuff.

    Pretty good.
  • November 6, 2006
    The plot is simply awful but the great cast makes up somewhat for the film's other flaws. Shame on the filmmakers for killing off Farina waaaay too early in the film.

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

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

January 1, 2000
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

The Mod Squad has an intriguing cast, a director who knows how to use his camera and a lot of sly humor. Shame about the story. full review
