So let's talk about this movie right here.

story.jpg

Get Smart is a remake of ye old Get Smart television series which brought shoe phones and blueberry flavored cyanide pills to the masses.

I just got back from seeing it and darned if it wasn't quite funny. Steve Carell pulls off a good Agent 86 and the rest of the cast holds up as well. Also Anne Hathaway. I would do horrible things to her. Quite a few homages and throwbacks to the series are included, which always makes us feel like we're part of a glorious inside joke that only a select few million people understand.

Overall I give it 8.5 lunchboxes that are just lunchboxes and have no special spy abilities out of 10 lunchboxes that are just lunchboxes for carrying your lunch in.

Discuss with enthusiasm.

    This movie was fantastic.

    It was so good that it canceled out the terrible, terrible crowd that was there opening night

    Put your lunch in it and wait thirty seconds. If nothing happens to your lunch you should be safe.

    This show was the whole reason Nick at Nite existed. In fact. Why isn't this on tv now? Failure, tv execs. Failure.

    I'm sorry but that was incorrect. "Blossom" was never actually hot. Especially when standing next to "Six".

    Did you know Will Smith got a perfect score on the verbal portion of his SATs?

    I'm always impressed by that

    Because I tried damn hard and only got 1400

    The reading comp part of my SAT was my weakest section. In the other verbal part and the two math parts, I only missed one each.

    You'd be surprised how limited even the best of actors are off screen. Like DeNiro tried campaigning for Obama for a little bit? Worst speaker ever. Not even kidding.

    Honestly, this summer has been insane. There are just too many damn movies I want to see and not enough cash to go about it, particularly with the nearest theater being an hour away, making every showing an "event" unto itself. Any other summer and this would have been a definite must see.

    I loved Get Smart, mostly due to Don Adams, and Steve Carell is one of the few actors I'm willing to accept in his role. Colbert might have also fit, while Mathew Broderick (obviously) did not. At any rate, this one is going to have to remain a rental, along with Hancock, what with Hellboy and Dark Knight on the horizion.

    DeNiro's lost a lot of his spark in recent years
    I never thought of him a particulary erudite
    But in movies like Mean Streets
    Early critics didn't even know if it was really acting
    or if Scorsese had just picked up some crazy guy and filmed him doing whatever

    Actually it works. You don't "study" you practice it for it. My sister kicked the ACT's ass her second time around after buying a practice book. Earned her about 80 grand in scholarships.
