Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.

I’ve been watching GET SMART episodes while laid up sick this week. I’ve got this box set here of every single episode, and as I watch, I realize how little I actually watched of the show when I was young. I remember the credits, and I think it was a show that came on before something I liked, so I only ever saw the ending every day. If I saw more, it was because I was bored and waiting, not because I was a fan.

I am now. I’m impressed by how crisp and smart the comedy writing on the series was week after week, and by the way the show actually got better as it wore on, not worse.

So can this film live up to the name? Even a little?

Let’s see what this spy thought:

Hey guys,

Just thought i would give you my thoughts on my recent outing last thursday to see a test screening for the upcoming summer "blockbuster" GET SMART directed by Peter Segal, and starring Steve Carrell, Anne Hathaway and others. Not to mention Zod himself......Lets just say the test screening was seen only by like 50 people tops.. and i think i saw Mr. Segal there in the back, not sure though.

Now i havent seen much of the original get smart, so i'm gonna base this review off what i saw on screen and whatever i wikipedia after the movie.

the first 2 acts are great alot of banter between characters and it moves well. lots of physical comedy from Carrell whichis awesome and he has some swell lines too. He seemed a bit monotoned through out the movie though.

Anne Hathaway as agent 99 was good as she can be, i feel that she needs to loosen up because i couldnt believe the chemistry between her and Carrell.

The rock aka dwayne johnson is cool as the suave agent who likes to back up Maxie...lol

ZOD.. terrance stamp.. man all i kept hearing when he talked was "Kneel before Zod"

i know this was a quick review but let me just say the laughs were good for like an hour after that though the last 45 minutes felt forced aside from the stupid idiot that laughed like a hyena at every line.

If you use this
