Ken's Notebook

Inspector Gadget (1999)

Rating: ★☆☆☆☆
Screen: Jacki’s Mom’s TV (on a VHS copy that her boyfriend bought at a flea market for $1)

I would have preferred to watch the Italian version. If I had to pick a worst part, I’d choose any scene in which the DL Hughley black caricature car talks. Or maybe the scene where Gadget is at the dump and he has his shirt off. Something about a living creature made up of slinkys and toothpaste is very unsettling to me.

I clicked “translate” on this page, and the first comment begins with “Haha It’s true that Matthew Broderick is also a charismatic oyster.” Well said.
