 GET SMART review
“Get Smart” is, hands down, the greatest film of the year.  Oh, you think I’m lying?  Would you believe… that it’s best comedy of the year so far?  How about, that it’s probably the best major comedy to be released this week? All things considered, (and there’s more to consider here than meets the eye,) “Get Smart” is not a bad movie.  I, like many others, was not ... (link)

Actually Smart?
Published 6/20/2008 at Row Three
Actually Smart? There are rumblings ( here , here , here ) out there that TV show re-envisioning Get Smart is actually good. Surely it is better than the Pink Panther reboot (which for some reason this film from start to finish always reminded me of even though I never saw that Steve Martin vehicle), but worth $10 and two hours of my time? Perchance a family trip during a morning matinee - there is no sign of Kung Fu Fighting on the soundtrack and Wall*E is still a week away. Taking my impressionable kiddies out to see Young People ...

Get Smart: A Light, Easy Treat
You know when you're tired, cranky, and hungry right around mid-afternoon and you know you should just gnaw on the baby carrots you put in the office fridge during a fit of optimism but all you want to do is grab the Ho-Hos (or in my case, those Tag-a-Long Girl Scout cookies) in your top drawer and stuff your face?

Ken's Review: Get Smart - Nothing Smart About It
When it comes to TV shows being made into films, they usually don't turn out very well. The list of bad adaptations far outweighs the good. Movies like The Beverly Hillbillies , Bewitched , Starsky & Hutch , Wild Wild West , and Dukes of Hazard cast a constant shadow on the TV-to-film adaptations. Sure there are a few that turned out great, like The Untouchables , Mission Impossible and ...

‘Get Smart’ is Hilarious Spy Goodness [Movie Review]
The first thing you need to know about Get Smart is that death by post-it note is a slow death. If you didn’t already know that, you’re probably not CONTROL material. But Steve Carell is, and he leads a great cast of classic characters that deliver a spy van full of laughs and do the original TV series slapstick justice. If you haven’t been bunkered down in a hovel ...
