I seriously don't get it with this tired remake of Inspector Gadget. What did Disney done wrong was trying to make an iconic 80's cartoon into a blatant ripoff of Get Smart. Although I love the Youngstown Disney version of "I'll Be Your Everything," the rest of the movie is ugh.

.. absolute torture. Not even Matthew Broderick of all people tried and failed miserably as the detective with a whole lot of bumbling "Go Go Gadget" jokes and adding sexual references and violence that were so offensive, it is not suitable for anyone who is growned up in the 90's neither the Disney kiddies.

I think this and Broderick had it wrong with a casting choice that includes D.L. Hughley and Michelle Trachtenberg (wasn't she supposed to be on Nickelodeon?). Also, the script is pointless, bad acting, focuses on too much comic humor.

Even worse, in the cartoon, the Gadgetmobile doesn't actually talk. In the movie, playing a talking Gadgetmobile is wrong or maybe because it's worser than Godzilla's roar in the 98 version. Do us all a favor Disney and stop giving these cartoon remakes a chance.
