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