Get Smart

I remember watching the TV series as a kid. I don't remember a whole lot, but I remember this show being stupid, ridiculous and completely hilarious!

Oh wow, never have I been so equally frustrated and enamored with one movie...at least not since the Princess Bride fiasco.

When i heard this movie was being made, I was upset, Brooks did a great show in the Sixties, and I miss Don Adams as Agent 86. Then I saw the trailer, and figured all the good shots were in that, more disappointment, and never saw it in the theatres.

It's a technical stuff. The movie is sophistically funny and thrilling, but lacks continuity between shoots.

Perhaps, we're older and more mature so the funny lines of the television show of years before have become less appealing. With Don Adams and Edward C.

The economic downturn appears to have hit Hollywood. Director Peter Segal and the producers of "Get Smart" have tried to make four movies on one budget -- a TV paean (think "The Addams Family"), an aspirational romantic comedy (think "There's Something About Mary"), an action comedy (think "Rush Hour") and a knockabout satire (think "Airplane").

I feel obliged to make a review, just to offset all the critics awarding one star, and saying all the positive reviews are studio stooges. I'm nothing of the sort, and I loved this movie.

This is probably about the 4th time I've viewed the film. I remember distinctly thinking on my previous view that the movie was better and funnier than I had remembered.

Based on the reviews and the fact that I have seen a fair few "funny" spy films recently I gave this a watch on Netflix with reasonable hopes I would be entertained. I was not!
