If you want to have an enjoyable couple of hours with laughs galore, head on over to your nearest theater and take in this movie. I went with my girls today, college age, 12 and 10, and we all loved it. Interestingly enough our local paper gave it one *. He must have had a bad day.

Sure, you have to be in the mood, but what’s not to like about a character most of us are already familiar with…I only hoped they hadn’t made it so my littlest ones wouldn’t appreciate it.

Afterwards, I asked them what they liked the best.

12 year old: I liked it all…
Then she began to go through scene after scene and we were off and laughing again.

Steve Carrell can be over the top sometimes, but in this movie he strikes just the right balance. And who doesn’t want to watch Anne Hathaway in everything she does! Honestly, is it possible that The Rock can get any more handsome! (Don’t answer that one!) Alan Arkin as the chief…Terrance Stamp as Siegfried…James Caan as the president…Dalip Singh as the good bad guy…not to forget the cameo by Bill Murray, which was funny in itself…

How about some scenes: the scene in the airplane bathroom…the dance sequence…and on and on and on…

I’m ready to go to Get Smart #2. It’s rare to come out of a movie and really feel good. This is one that succeeds.

• Juno, some spoilers, maybe Juno was recommended to me by a friend. I was told I'd like it, but I had my doubts. First, the subject of adoption, birth mothers, birth fathers, birth family, and desire for a child are close to my heart. I have two bio children and two children adopted from......
• Harry Potter rules Last night I stayed up to 3 am waiting for the kiddos of various ages, from 22 to 9, to get back from the movie. College Girl went in costume as Moaning Myrtle. The photogs were at a different theater. She looked great! 9 yo wore a black cape. 11......
• A little crochet story from Italy's earthquake Have you read the story of the 98 year old woman rescued under the rubble of her house after Italy's recent terrible earthquake? When asked what she did alone in the dark for 30 hours? She crocheted! What a gal! I'd love to see what she crocheted. I don't think......
• On heaven If ever I reach heaven I expect to find three wonders there: first, to meet some I had not thought to see there; second, to miss some I had expected to see there; and third-- the greatest wonder of all--to find myself there. John Newton (1725-1807) Well, amen to this.......
• Pink Panther 2 We had a lot of fun seeing this movie yesterday. Of course, you know it's going to be silly, and it was. And some of the visuals were especially funny, how they ever thought of them in the first place, let alone filmed them. Steve Martin is talented on a......

• Real Estate Investments - Good Idea or Bad Idea? Right now, if there was a market that had bad news written all over it, it would be real estate. The housing crisis has made investors jumpy, the economy appears to be tanking and home values are plummeting across the country. Would you believe that this is actually a good......
• New Moon First Official Trailer: Likes/Dislikes THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON trailer in HD Likes: Jasper - hot. Great clips from the birthday sequence. Jacob transforming into a werewolf - nothing like the creepy wolf/man thing of Harry Potter. It's well executed, which makes me extremely hopeful for the rest of the special effects. The 3......
