Comically myopic hero Mr. Magoo stumbles onto the big screen in this live-action cartoon. After Magoo (Leslie Nielsen, star of AIRPLANE! and the NAKED GUN television series and movies) inadvertently makes off with a priceless gem exhibited at the premiere of a posh museum, he and his bulldog sidekick, Angus, find themselves in the midst of international intrigue. Not only has the jewel been earmarked by slinky cat burglar Luanne LeSeur (Kelly Lynch), it's also prized by the FBI, a Brazilian crime lord, and other sundry parties. Packed with laughs, MR. MAGOO is helmed by action-comedy director Stanley Tong, best known as a directorial collaborator of martial arts megastar Jackie Chan. [More]

  • In the outrageous tradition of SPY HARD and THE NAKED GUN, zany big-screen funnyman Leslie Nielsen brings MR. MAGOO hysterically to life in this wild and wacky comedy hit! It's a screamingly funny adventure full of laughs ... and danger! Nonstop comic chaos ensues when Mr. Magoo becomes the target of a notorious and ruthless band of international jewel thieves. A precious gem is stolen -- and the clueless Magoo sets out to get it back! Bursting with high-flying laughs and adrenaline-pumping action, MR. MAGOO is the entertaining comedy that has everyone howling!
