Making live action movie versions of classic television cartoons may be all the rage now, but in 1999, there weren't too many examples. Maybe that's why Disney's attempt at bringing INSPECTOR GADGET to life feels like a total miss. Sure, Matthew Broderick channels the bumbling detective well enough for the most part, but Dr. Claw was never this hammy and showed much much less face that Rupert Everett. And Penny was certainly never as sidelined as she is in this movie. And we may be wrong here, D-Lovers, but we're pretty certain that no episode of the cartoon involved making a sex robot clone of Joely Fisher. Vicky, Nolan and Jill do their best to separate this adaptation from the beloved original, but even then this movie leaves us with more questions than answers.
