Get Smart Review

I haven’t watched many episodes of the Get Smart TV show, but based on what I remember Steve Carell did a great job of playing Maxwell Smart in the recent Get Smart movie.

Get Smart has a lot going for it: the characters are entertaining and the story isn’t wholly predictable. I enjoy watching Anne Hathaway and The Rock (err, Dwayne Johnson), and Alan Arkin and Terence Stamp are always reliable actors. Fun gadgets abound, as do jokes throughout the movie. Ultimately, however, I find Get Smart quite forgettable. It blends in with just about any movie with mediocre action or a little humor.

Worth seeing if you catch it on TV (well, once it trickles down to TV).
