Inspector Gadget 2
Background Information: Inspector Gadget 2 [Top]
Editorial DVD Review [Top] Inspector Gadget 2 sees the unlikely detective with higher-tech gadgets & more special effects. French Stewart replaces Matthew Broderick as the bumbling detective in a plot that revolves around the glitch-ridden Gadget being replaced by a completely robotised female. Parent Traps Elaine Hendrix does what little she can with the one-dimensional role of G2. Still, Gadget falls for his rival & the pair team up with his smart-as-a-whip niece Penny & her brainy beagle for a showdown with Claw.
Where Broderick struggled to humanise the caricature of an inept detective in the 1999 original, Stewart doesnt even try. Instead he plays Gadget as a cartoon with endless over-the-top theatrics. The enhanced special effects may placate young viewers, but without the comedy of the original, thats small comfort. Biography: Elaine Hendrix [Top]
