Movie review . . .

We went to the new "Get Smart" movie. This movie is a remake of the old TV show that starred Don Adams as Maxwell Smart. I thought the movie was great! Fans of "The Office" will especially enjoy Steve Carrell as Maxwell Smart. He does a great job of re-creating the original character. The story line is good, lots of action and alot of old elements from the original TV show are brought into the movie. There is one particular scene that Steve Carrell has in an airplane restroom that is absolutely hilarious. Agent 99 played by Anne Hathaway (who is no Barbara Feldon) could have been cast better, but she does OK. In the TV series there was always a bit of sexual tension between Maxwell and Agent 99 but it was never acted upon, so hubby was a bit disappointed when in the movie Maxwell actually kisses 99, "That would have never happened on the TV show" he says. Gotta love the original theme song!!!
