VHS Movie Reviews of The Mod Squad [VHS]
Movie Review: Was this movie a joke?
Summary: 1 Stars
I couldn't decide! If this wasn't one of the worst movies ever made I don't know what is.Movie Review: The Dream Team
Summary: 1 Stars
(This film might put you to sleep.)
Genre classifications "action" and "thriller" are both terribly misapplied in this case. The film's pacing is slow, the character development doesn't really exist with regard to some important characters, the writing is poor, and as such it is difficult to judge whether the acting is subpar because the actors aren't all that great (though Ribisi has proven his ability in some much better stuff) or because the script wasn't worth producing. Add to all of this a sad lack of special effects and an unmemorable soundtrack, and you've got an entire work of below-average film making.
If you're looking for an arcane suspense/action, "Ronin" might be a good pick, but even still, for blockbuster quality stick to the well-traveled paths of smash hits. There's a reason "everybody" liked some films.
ALong
Movie Review: dvd would make a good coaster or perhaps a clock
Summary: 1 Stars
only point of interest is that Omar Epps is now pretty recognizable from his role on the TV show "House".
otherwise you may also be able to use it to play frisbee with your dog.
Movie Review: This is not a movie, it's a void
Summary: 1 Stars
The Mod Squad isn't a movie, it's a void. That's the most fascinating thing about it and the thing that kept me watching - I'd never seen a film that offered absolutely nothing before. It's a film without any reason to exist whatsoever, seemingly consciously designed to appeal to no-one as if made purely as a contractual obligation to someone the studio really dislike. There is no plot, there is no characterization, there are no set piece action scenes, there aren't even any scenes as such, just a progression of increasingly empty shots projected at 24 frames per second. I'm not talking about empty as in dumb summer blockbuster but empty as in "We haven't got the pages yet so just point the camera at something and stop when you've got 90 minutes worth." It makes you appreciate the `artistic achievements' of the movie versions of Charlie's Angels and S.W.A.T. that much more. What it does offer is far too much of Giovanni Ribisi at his most tediously execrable doing his bastard son of a thousand morons impersonating Marlon Brando method acting routine, Michael Lerner dancing with Omar Epps and... no, that's it. Oh, Clare Danes has a nice smile in one shot. And Dennis Farina has the sense to get killed off early. Genuinely the most utterly pointless film ever made, it's like L'Humanite without the jokes but, you know, for kids.
Movie Review: Bad plot, uninteresting movie
Summary: 1 Stars
The mod squad gets started 'after' the formation of the "Mod Squad" without even bothering to develop any of the characters or show us why anyone is doing what they are doing.
Moreover, most of the events in the movie seem ancillary to the plot. Without even a smack of character development, the plot meanders from Gen-X club scenes to action scenes and back again.
