Well I went to see Get Smart - I loved the old TV show it was a blast - Don Adams was great and I thought this is one movie that would blow up and be horrible - It had all the potential.

One thing it does have going for it is Steve Carrell because he is funny on his own.   He looks a little like Get Smart from the show and he had the potential to pull it off.

My youngest one talked to me into going and we hit the movie.   I have to say it was pretty good - I was skeptical but I really liked it.  She loved it and since she had no frame of reference it must have rung true.   I don't give away much in my movie reviews so I'll say this....

Carrell was true to the character of the show by updating it - It wasn't as campy or schtick-like in it's presentation.   He did a great job of not over-shadowing the character or movie - Unlike Jim Carrey who seems to overact and go overboard in every movie recently.  

Ann Hathaway did a great 99 - although I'm biased because she could have stood there and smiled for half the movie and I would have liked it - I like Natalie Portman but Ann Hathaway is closing the gap.   She was a perfect straight man to Maxwell Smart 
The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) did a great comedic turn in this movie - Critics are going crazy over his performance - If you really want to see a funny version of the Rock - Pick up a copy of BE COOL with John Travolta - That is a really funny movie and Vince Vaughn and the Rock make a pretty good couple characters - The Rock did great in Get Smart

So two big thumbs up - If you liked the old show or like comedy about secret agents check out Get Smart - It's a great Popcorn Movie I give is 4 1/2 out of 5 Bags of Popcorn.
