i be not old enough to really appreciate the original mod squad and but i know everyone think it be cool . i have some of the book that be write base on the series in my screen to print collection and and theyre pretty light duty and so i do not expect much from the movie . that a good thing and because this movie be bad on a long leash . i admire the risk in create a movie that be so completely true to the 1960 hit . the movie audience and though and have gain sophistication in 30 year . at least and i think so . i certainly expect something more than an hour and a half of the original mod squad concept and with ( now old ) car chase and ( now consider poor ) camera work and ( tinny sounding ) soundtrack and ( poor ) script and all and on the big screen . in the 1960s and we do not care as much because we have minimal expectation . an integrated police team of young people wear something besides suit be enough . it be that and another thrill episode of ironside or password . rating this episode against usual theatre release and the story be . well and i be not sure i should even say because i be not sure there be one . drug be bad . whatever . the script be silly . when the character be exchange dialog and advance the plot with line like i overhear him say so on the phone and and i think i get a plan and we really be in trouble . no wonder the acting be dreadful represent no one know how to say such idiotic line . if i be claire dane and i would be go after my agent with a flame thrower right now . ( actually and i think everyone in and watch the film have a right to seek retribution . ) and where be the mod in that squad . i realize these kid just get out of juvenile hall and but no one have a velvet suit . mod only meant young and integrated . what happen to white go go boots . perhaps the costume department be go for gritty and but all they get be dirty and dingy . since the movie be completely true to the original series and and require special behavior from the actor and cameraman and stunt men and etc . and we should appreciate it more . unfortunately and i still do not like it . if i want to watch 60 crime drama and i would buy dvd . no thanks .
