Get Smart Details

Get Smart is Superb???Heh?!!!

I cannot believe a reviewer described this film as superb! Obviously this person is easily pleased!! This movie was a time filler, and nothing else. Anne Hathaway looked stunning at the ball but her main man didn't cut the mustard! He just seems to be too old to be acting silly as he does. I confess I do not always find him funny. There are some funny scenes but they are not what I would call laugh out loud funny. This is a good kiddies flick, but personally I was bored throughout and could't wait for it to finish .

[Highly rated reviewer]

Get Smart

Joy, a new comedy from the director of The Naked Gun… 33 1/3. Peter Segal’s spy comedy fails on two major counts 1: It’s not very exciting 2: It’s not very funny. Yes Anne Hathaway’s legs are lovely, and yes any film that has something as odd and unexpected as the Bill Murray in a tree bit here can’t be all bad, but it’s just so lacking in inspiration.

The gags are tired, and barely one goes anywhere you don’t expect it to. This goes double for the plot, whose every detail I’d worked out before the movie’s midpoint. There are a couple of mild chuckles to be had here (which, sadly, makes Get Smart one of the funniest comedies released by a studio in recent memory) but it’s not anything you should be running out to see. Just watch The Naked Gun again… hell watch Naked Gun 33 1/3 again.
