What happens

Mr. Magoo is a 1997 American slapstick comedy film directed by Hong Kong film veteran Stanley Tong (his sole English language film) and written by Pat Proft and Tom Sherohman. Based on UPA's cartoon character of the same name, it was produced by Walt Disney Pictures, and stars Leslie Nielsen as the title character, alongside Kelly Lynch, Matt Keeslar, Nick Chinlund, Stephen Tobolowsky, Ernie Hudson, Jennifer Garner and Malcolm McDowell. The film was a critical and commercial failure, grossing $28 million, against its $30 million production budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
