What to Know

Critics Consensus

The Mod Squad aims for stylish cool and thrilling adventure, but collapses in an incoherent jumble of dated source material and unintentional hilarity.

There are only two possible reactions to the film version of The Mod Squad: Either you hate it or you really hate it. Go to Full Review Jami Bernard New York Daily News 03/21/2017

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. Go to Full Review Nathan Rabin AV Club 03/21/2017
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.

...a reasonable-enough premise that’s employed to mostly underwhelming and uninvolving effect by Silver... Go to Full Review Gary Wolcott Tri-City Herald 07/13/2023

The Mod Squad wasn't that interesting in the '60s, and nothing has changed in the '90s. Go to Full Review Leah Rozen People Magazine 03/21/2017
Bad trip. Bites. Whack. Whatever your era and whatever your slang, this new movie version of TV's The Mod Squad stinks. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Michael S @mstrocko 05/03/2024 It's not just that the film does very little with its source material. It's that the film is so lazy with its plot, acting, and pretty much everything else. See more Mark B @Mbindon 08/08/2023 No words how bad this is. See more Steve D @RT35616104 02/08/2023 Danes and Epps are solid and almost make it work but Ribisi's character is so obnoxious, so over the top he drags the entire thing down. See more 12/31/2018 Dumb movie that I'll forget about in 10 seconds. See more 07/09/2017 Of all of the TV series made into movies, I think this at least tried to stay true to the original show. I will admit that the script would have played out better for a TV series but at least they didn't make it as campy as they have some of the other shows they have tried to turn two Silver Screen. 21 Jump Street was actually a crime drama made for younger people, when they made it into a movie they just played off of bad humor and poorly written Scripts. At least this one they tried to keep to the show. See more 01/02/2015 Unbelievably bad, especially considering the talent involved. See more Read all reviews
