A study in how a surefire idea gets botched in the execution.

This isn't a horrible film. It's just no good.

If it looks like a bad '70s cop show, sounds like a bad '70s cop show and has a plot like a bad '70s cop show, what's the point of making a feature film? Just watch a bad '70s cop show, if you can find one.

The Mod Squad has an intriguing cast, a director who knows how to use his camera and a lot of sly humor. Shame about the story.

The film starts out promising, but ends up forgetting its promises.

The predictable result is a sketchy, half-baked, stylistically inconsistent movie that scarcely even pretends to care whether it makes sense or not.

It's just another lousy piece of brand name recycling.

There is no excuse for a movie being quite this lame and stupid.

Makes me wonder if this didn't start out as a TV series pilot that got rejected.
