[A] woefully uncool, unfunny, unnecessary recycling of the old TV show.

Whatever countercultural kick the original Mod Squad had going for it, it has long since faded like a favorite pair of blue jeans, the kind you remember fondly but wouldn't dream of wearing again.

Maybe someone thought a new Mod Squad would be hip, but it's just a big jive turkey.

Everyone works hard, but the results are sadly short of style and personality or irony and intelligence.

Bad trip. Bites. Whack. Whatever your era and whatever your slang, this new movie version of TV's The Mod Squad stinks.

There are only two possible reactions to the film version of The Mod Squad: Either you hate it or you really hate it.

The film's resolute failure is clearly a group effort requiring not just an awful script and flat-footed direction, but also terrible acting, an intrusive and derivative score, and a plot that seems to have been lifted from an unproduced Baretta teleplay.

Fans of the TV show say it was cool. The movie is kind of cool, too, but it tastes like cold leftovers after an hour and a half of stupidity.

If only the filmmakers had paid as much attention to plot as they did to the soundtrack, The Mod Squad might have had a reason for existence (other than raking in profits from gullible opening-weekend audiences).

The Mod Squad is one of the flimsiest excuses for a movie I've seen in ages.
March 21, 2017
It's a terrible movie, really, but I'm not hard-hearted enough to condemn it, because it brings back some of the scrappy feel of '70s TV action series.

Nothing really fits together and just to make it worse, the movie is ugly.
