Critic Reviews

  • Todd McCarthy, Variety

    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.

  • , Chicago Reader

    An exercise in robotic filmmaking.

  • Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

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

  • Bob Graham, San Francisco Chronicle

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

  • Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

    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.

    Not quite the hip, engaging thriller it was made out to be, this TV adaption begs the constant question of "Why?". Besides starring Giovanni Ribisi, who never disappoints, The Mod Squad telegraphs its twists and remains unconvincing and uninspiring through its entire… More
