Мистер Магу: Провал на большом экране

1997 American comedy film
Filming lasted from March through September 1997. The film was shot in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil, Argentina and Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, while the scenes in the museum were filmed in the lobby of the Central Branch of the Vancouver Public Library. The animated sequences were produced by Creative Capers Entertainment and Yowza! Animation, a studio based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Mr. Magoo was released to theatres by Walt Disney Pictures on Christmas Day (December 25) 1997. It was then released on VHS and DVD on July 7, 1998, and later available to stream on Disney+.

Mr. Magoo grossed $28.9 million worldwide against a $30 million budget, making it a box office bomb.

On Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 9%, based on reviews from 32 critics, with an average rating of 2.7/10. The site's consensus states: "Leslie Nielsen's affability can't save this dunderheaded update of Mr. Magoo, which delivers a stream of slapstick gags so lame that audiences will feel like they've stepped on a rake." Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B" on an A+ to F scale.

Criticism for the film singled out the seemingly mocking portrayal of people with disabilities, although Disney placed a disclaimer right before the closing credits. That said, some critics noted that the disclaimer used at the end of the film was not meant to be an accurate portrayal of near sighted or blind people. Roger Ebert, giving it a half star out of four in his newspaper review, also called the film "transcendently bad. It soars above ordinary badness as the eagle outreaches the fly." Marc Savlov of the Austin Chronicle gave it 0 out of 5 and said "It's a mess best left to the nitrate ashes of forgotten film and television history." Later reviewing Wrongfully Accused, another Leslie Nielsen film, Savlov said "I was wrong: There are worse things than Mr. Magoo."

The film received two nominations at the 1997 Stinkers Bad Movie Awards: Worst Resurrection of a TV Show and Most Painfully Unfunny Comedy, losing both to McHale's Navy and 8 Heads in a Duffel Bag, respectively.

Disney wanted Mr. Magoo to become an "international franchise", but following the critical and commercial failure of the film, no sequels were ever produced.
