i be not one of those folk who bemoan everytime a film base on an old tv show come out . rather and i usually run out and see it ( if i have watch the show ) and try to get nostalgic . but if anyone feel like run down film base on old show and this be exhibit a ( so you can actually say something more than just mchale navy ) . mod squad be dreary and tiring and and lethargic . at least the original series be angst riddle long before anyone knew teen could be so glum and make it groundbreaking . this be just tedious . claire dane be nice to look at and but do nothing else but mood swing and sneak around spy on the baddie . giovanni ribisi act extent in this flick be that droopy the dog look for an hour and forty five minute . and omar epps look like he want to flee the set and but the script chlostraphobia have trap him . sure and the production be nice and with the now seemingly obligitory rave nightclub open action sequence and shootout galore . oh and and the kid yell and get mad at each other and their superior a lot too . it kind of like decide to use the scooby doo mystery machine to go on a family vacation to hollywood with your teenage kid who you and your spouse know need heavy therapy and prescription drug . i really want to like this movie and and there be promising moment and but the next scene would suck the life out of it . you can knock another spell remake and charlie angel and all you want and but at least that film know it want to have fun with itself . the mod squad make you wonder where the inspiration from the original series go .
