Editorial Reviews

Get ready for more "wowser" special effects and comical glitches to Inspector Gadget's robotic fantastic arsenal in this produced-for-video sequel to the 1999 box-office hit. This time, French Stewart (Third Rock from the Sun) dons the trench coat originally worn by Matthew Broderick, with Elaine Hendrix (Dennis Quaid's gold-digging fiancée in the Parent Trap remake) adding new layers of technology as G2, an advanced mechanical crime fighter who threatens to make Gadget obsolete. Meanwhile, the evil Claw escapes from prison and hatches his "ten days to success" plot to steal trillions in gold. The hapless and disaster-prone Gadget needs all the help he can get, and it is supplied by his wisecracking Gadgetmobile, his resourceful niece Penny (Caitlin Wachs), and his heroic dog, Brain. In regard to its G-rating, Inspector Gadget 2 is more cartoonish than the first film, with plenty of slapstick and only the mildest of peril. Youngsters will gear up for this, but for all its ingenuity and Stewart's goofy charm, it doesn't quite capture the magic of the original.
