| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Mr. Magoo |
|---|
This is meant to be a silly movie, and it is very funny for both kids (slapstick) and adults (the general silliness of it!)It is about a very short-sighted and dopey man who is accused of stealing a valuable diamond. In the end, with the help of his family & friends they catch the real dumb criminals. It features a small romance between two minor characters. All in all, if you want a lighthearted laugh, this is for you!
