Get Smart

June 23rd, 2008 | Movies

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.
