I love all Claire Danes movies, but this one was a nice surprise. The plot is a little scattered at times and Giovanni Rabisi(sp?) is a little annoying(but that is his character). It does have a cool, old school flair to... Full review

a movie this inept makes a Mod Squad sequel unlikely.....The Mod Squad is a flawed fraud, a youth movie so disjointed, witless....Visually and aurally, the movie is bad early Seventies television:....More car chases, some really clumsy soap-opera eavesdropping scenes and more shootouts follow..... ...

In a contempo context, after so many years of ultraviolent and hyperkinetic action films, the bland hokiness of "The Mod Squad," whose members, after all, aren't "real" cops and can't carry guns, looks as innocent and dated as silent-movie melodrama. ... Full Review

The Mod Squad" is a great-looking picture that zips along with grace, light on its feet but possessed of just enough gravity to allow us to take its people rather than its old TV series premise seriously.
Friday March 26, 1999 Don't go to "The Mod Squad" expecting a replication of the TV series that ran from 1968 to 1973, for director Scott Silver and his co-writers have delivered something better than nostalgia.

That is the only cinematic question pondered by the bland actioner The Mod Squad .....he or she is about to experience an exciting thriller of some sort.....But the rest of the film is dull, boring and singularly uninteresting.....Claire Danes is no longer alluring --....It's full of bad dialogue, scenes and concepts that make no sense and --.... ...
