| Film.comSean P. MeansThere's nothing like watching actors fighting their way out of a movie they know is crap. |
| Film Journal InternationalThom BennettInspector Gadget is strictly for kids--or adults jacked up on caffeine. |
| San Francisco ChronicleBob GrahamWhile it is a spectacle of animatronics, digital graphics and other special effects, the actors are never overwhelmed by them as personalities. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonThe movie, based on the TV cartoon series, is exceptionally pleasant, and there's just enough humor to make it enjoyable for adults. |
| Chicago ReaderLisa AlspectorA judicious mix of the lightly gory, the generously cartoonish, and the unexpectedly atmospheric makes for action that's scary yet unintimidating. |
| NewsweekWalaika HaskinsThere's something for everyone in this 70-minute special effects frolic, and lovers of the cartoon will find the movie relatively faithful to its animated predecessor. |
| Village VoiceNico BaumbachShot mostly in close-up, with nearly every action accompanied by a sound effect, the film itself is slightly hysterical. |
| The New YorkerAnthony LaneA short, meaningless blast of fun from Disney. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip Martin...a kind of relentless "wacky" slapstick movie that plays like Robocop (a film that shares its basic plot) married to Pee-wee's Big Adventure. |
| Chicago TribuneMark CaroFeels like a demonstration reel for toys, action figures and future DisneyQuest installations. |
